Abstract

India’s Xinjiang connection is age old. Since the first century bc , linkage between the two regions has been established through historical, sociocultural and economic relations and mutual exchanges. However, with the establishment of People’s Republic of China in 1949 and incorporation of Xinjiang as one of the Chinese provinces, this linkage met an obvious end. Now with the end of Cold War in 1991 following the disintegration of former Soviet Union and emergence of five independent republics of Central Asia and the endeavours to revive the Silk Route, there has emerged a glimmer of hope for the renewal of relationship between strategically located Central Asia, Xinjiang and India. In this context, this article discusses the 2500-year-old India–Xinjiang historico-cultural cooperation and believes that perhaps it could act as a catalyst in promoting and strengthening overall relationship between India and China.
