This edited volume reconsiders the conventional wisdom, which argues
that comparative performance (in economic, social, political, as well as
diplomatic arenas) of China has been superior to that of India. The book
brings together 'new paradigms' for evaluating the comparative
performance of two countries. Essays show that if not outright wrong,
conventional wisdom has proven to be overly simplified. The book brings
out the complexity and richness of the India-China comparison.
