Uncover the hidden history of the India-China border with “Through the India-China Border: Kalimpong in the Himalayas.” This compelling book, drawing on rare archival documents from British, Chinese, and Indian sources, offers a fresh perspective on the “Tibet Question” and its impact on Sino-Indian relations. Focusing on the strategic Himalayan town of Kalimpong from the 1920s to 1962, the study reveals a complex web of espionage and political maneuvering, challenging conventional understandings of border regions.
