While the rise of China has long been an accepted fact of international economic and political relations, the recent rise of India as an economic power has provoked intense global interest in the question of what the emergence of the two together portends for the rest of the world. to the other, focusing on their shared and divergent experiences of modernization and economic reform and the ramifications thereof in respect of each country’s role in global affairs. Eschewing the geopolitical idiom of competition and rivalry between emerging Asian giants, the book seeks to understand the parallel, complementary, convergent and divergent development experiences from a more self-consciously geocivilizational perspective. Substantive chapters focus on the agrarian sector, where both countries face similarly acute problems of enhancing productivity and bettering the lives of huge rural populations; on industry, where China has long established herself as the ‘factory of the world’ while India has seen substantial expansion only in the service sector; and on the information and Communication technology industry, where India’s achievements have attracted world attention and where China and India have achieved a certain complementarity hardware and softcover production respectively. These experiences are he basis for the realizations of the ideal of ‘Chindia’s in the new Asia century.
