The emergence of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) nations as regional powers and
future challengers to U.S. hegemony has been predicted by many, and is a topic of much debate
among the IR community today. Interestingly, three of these nations have warred against each
other in the past and, coincidentally or not, it was the nations that shared borders: India and
China and China and Russia. This paper attempts an in-depth case study of the 1962 Sino-Indian
conflict from an angle that differs from previous studies. Past explorations of this conflict have
focused on domestic or the psychological motivations of political leaders for this abrupt war, but
I will depart from these studies in assessing the conflict's origin and exploring the reasons for its
short duration. Employing a neorealist systems-level approach, I will attempt to explain how the
structure of the international system both instigated the Sino-Indian confrontation and also
limited the extent of the engagement.

The Sino-Indian War of 1962, often referred to as the Indo-China War, primarily stemmed from border disputes between India and China, particularly over the Aksai Chin region and Arunachal Pradesh. Tensions escalated due to differing perceptions of the McMahon Line, the boundary established in 1914, which China never recognized. Additionally, China's desire to assert its territorial claims and India's growing confidence in its sovereignty contributed to the conflict. The war ended with a Chinese victory, resulting in a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape of the region.
It was getting hot and heavy by that time.
