About this product
Product Information
This pathbreaking study provides the first comprehensive examination of India-China interactions in the broader contexts of Asian and world history. By focusing on material exchanges, transmissions of knowledge and technologies, networks of exchange during the colonial period, and little-known facets of interactions between the Republic of India and the People's Republic of China, Tansen Sen argues convincingly that the analysis of India-China connections must extend beyond the traditional frameworks of nation-states or bilateralism. Instead, he demonstrates that a wide canvas of space, people, objects, and timeframe is needed to fully comprehend the interactions between India and China in the past and during the contemporary period. Considering as well the contributions of people and groups from beyond India and China, Sen also explores the interactions between Indians and Chinese outside the Asian continent. The author's formidable array of sources, pulled from archives and libraries around the world, range from Chinese travel accounts to Indian intelligence reports. Examining the connected histories of the two regions, Sen fills a striking gap in the study of India and China in a global setting.

Reviews
This book [is] a timely reminder of the long relationship between these two cultures, and of their generally peaceful concord., India, China, and the World: A Connected History is a big book with equally large ambitions. . . [it] covers everything from the movement of people, objects, and ideas across the ancient Silk Road up to the formation of the contemporary One Belt, One Road Initiative. Rather than simply depicting the flows between South Asia and China as traveling along a one-way street, the author does an admirable job of demonstrating how those movements were circulatory. . . . This book will make for engaging reading for specialists and general readers who are interested in the longue durée history of exchanges between India and China., Tansen Sen is the most qualified author to write a history of India and China in the world history context. Born to a father of Indian scholar of China and educated in India, China, and the University of Pennsylvania in the us, Tansen Sen is equipped with not only several languages, but also a deep and wide knowledge of China, India, Southeast Asia and world history. This knowledge base enables him to grasp the essence of two thousand years' communications and interactions of the two gigantic cultural conglomerations., Tansen Sen is unquestionably the world's leading historian of Sino-Indian connections. In this pioneering work, he situates his formidable knowledge within the framework of world history, revealing how central the relationship has been for both Asia and the wider world., A critical and non-judgemental yet stimulating analysis of the relationship between India and China during the ancient, modern, and contemporary periods. It is thoroughly and scintillatingly argumentative. . . . The resources and arguments provided by the author are incisive, thought-provoking, and comprehensive. It is an admirable sampling of sources, events, perceptions, and insights regarding connected histories in the past and present. The book is indeed path-breaking and a must read for researchers and practitioners engaged in historical studies, India-China relations, and international relations., Tansen Sen provides a deeply engaging, wide-ranging, and richly detailed history of the peoples, technologies, ideas, and commodities that have connected China, India, and the wider world from ancient times to the present. Now that China's 'One Belt One Road' is all the rage, it is fascinating to learn how these ancient spaces of mobility became assets for contending empires and objects of conflicting national interests that formed a diplomatic scaffolding for transnational politics., Tansen Sen has the remarkable knowledge and skills to be considered a historian of both China and India. In this groundbreaking study, his facility with the languages of both cultures enables him to provide a sophisticated history and analysis of their exchanges of products, philosophical and religious views, and scientific ideas. Noting that the relations between the two cultures need to be perceived in a broader context, Sen describes the influences of their interactions on other Asian civilizations. He concludes with an analysis of their relations in the modern world., Tansen Sen has the remarkable knowledge and skills to be considered a historian of both China and India.
