“制苏保印”与英属印度的西藏政策(1935——1947)

“Control Soviet Union and Protect India” and the Policy of Britain-controlled India towards Tibet(1935——1947)

二战前后,英印政府认为印度东北边境地区是苏联进入布拉马普特拉河流域的重要通道,而西藏是遏止苏联的有效屏障和缓冲区。所以,英印在其西藏政策中,贯彻了“制苏保印”的策略,并且在其侵占“麦克马洪线”以南地区的过程中,企图建立印度东北的防御体系,要求仿效苏俄对待外蒙的政策而实现西藏自治,进而在青藏高原设立英国的空军基地,抵制苏军通过西藏进入南亚次大陆。

Around the Second World War, the government of Britain-controlled India held that the northeast border region of India was an important passageway for the Soviet Union to enter the Brahmaputra River Valley while Tibet of China was a good defense and buffer zone. Therefore, the government of Britain-controlled India carried out a policy of ＂control Soviet Union and protect India＂ while in the process of invading the south region of ＂McMahon Line＂ it tried to establish a defense system in northeast India. It wanted to follow the policy of the Soviet Union towards Mongolia and to give autonomy to Tibet. It also wanted to establish some British air-bases on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in order to prevent the Soviet troops from entering the South Asian Subcontinent through Tibet.
