Question

How are the Panchasheela principles helpful to improve the relationship between
India and China

​

Answer 1

Answer:

At the time of India's independence, the relationship between India and China was not as bitter as it has been since 1962. Since America favoured Pakistan at that time, India thought it is good to keep friendly relations with its neighbour China.

Thisis the reason that India did not strongly oppose China while it was attacking Tibet. Indian relations with China started worsening when India had given shelter to spiritual leader Dalai Lama in 1959.

Although the immediate Prime Minister Nehru tried to make good relations between the two countries through the Panchsheel agreement, however, he did not succeed and the 1962 war took place between the two countries.

Now let us know in this article, what was the Panchsheel agreement between India and China and why was it done?

The Panchsheel agreement was about mutual relations and trade between India and Tibet the territory of China.
