India’s views have also been shaped by a 1962 war that ended with China
seizing a chunk of the northern India state of Kashmir. The countries
still have an unsettled border, and China claims a large piece of
territory controlled by India.
Raghav Bahl, an Indian media executive who has written a book about the
economic rise of both countries, said Indians “nursed a severe feeling
of humiliation” from the 1962 war that was compounded by China’s
economic rise.
“There is a sense that this is one race that we could have done much
better in,” said Mr. Bahl, author of “Superpower? The Amazing Race
Between China’s Hare and India’s Tortoise.”
But he added that Indians had regained confidence recently as a result
of their country’s strong economy. Many, like Mr. Chidambaram and The
Economist magazine, have suggested that India could soon grow at a
faster pace than China. Its economy, at $5.9 trillion, is about three
and a half times as big as the Indian economy, but China’s population is
much older than India’s.
In China, however, India does not register as a threat, economically or
otherwise.
Mr. Pei, the economist, said Chinese officials, executives and even many
intellectuals did not have a nuanced understanding of India. Communist
conservatives maintain that “democracy is hindering India’s
development,” he said.
