Recently, the world has witnessed the improvement of the bilateral relations between the two big nations. The White Horse Temple, as a site constructed by discourses has transformed from‘the first government-funded temple in China'to one of the symbols of China-India friendship in the cultural exchange between the two nations. Critical discourse analysis(CDA) is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of discourse that views language as a form of social practice and focuses on the ways social and political domination are reproduced in text and talk. This paper, starts from the perspective of critical discourse analysis, is exploratory in that it aims to see how the discursive practice of the White Horse Temple constitutes the discourse of China-India relationship and is constituted by the power relationship between the two nations.展开更多

These provinces besides being away from the administrative,industrial and production hubs are also marked by one of the highest concentrations of poverty in the Asia-Pacific region,and continue to encounter problems of political legitimacy engendered by geography,history,culture,racial factors,lack of specialized skills,capital formation. Revival of natural relationships may be the strategy for development of frontier provinces of China and India,through construction of trade corridors,exploitation of cultural similarities and enabling participation of communities,even fostering links through a third country. As nationalities or communities sharing similar socio-cultural or primordial oneness are interspersed on both sides of the boundary,it is argued that ethnic communities can be made to play a role in translating ethnic affinities into a lasting,effective,and substantial cooperation:beyond the state-centric security concerns to improve human security. Trading activities along China and Indian frontiers are usually controlled by non-local 'other' people,who are ethnically/racially different from the communities settled at the frontier. Therefore,systematic encouragement of participation of people may negate perceptions of exploitation,domination and alienation by the exclusionary tendencies of trade. These factors which engender contest against the state in the frontiers of China and India can be rectified through encouraging participation of people in the activities of China-India cooperation. Trade along the China and India frontiers may never reach economies of scale and may be statistically insignificant but it can make huge difference to the lives of people living along the frontier. This Essay argues for more border trade points,rather normal trade through the borders and ensuring participation of various ethnic communities spread along the frontiers.展开更多
