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.

Reason for indo China war?

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.
