There are immense possibilities of economic and trade benefits if they work together with mutual cooperation and friendship. But unfortunately they have a legacy of complex border disputes and a tense relationship that includes a war in 1962. Now both the countries are equipped with heavy military power as well as nuclear and missile capabilities, the present study investigates various aspects of Sino Indian strategic rivalry and its implications on the strategic environment of the world in general and South Asia in particular. It also reveals the area of mutual assistance and cooperation vital for a huge part of the globe.
