diplomatic flexibility and ideological
sophistication.

socialist ideology with Chinese
characteristics’.

escalated tensions last year.

similar situations.

Dalai Lama, Panchsheel, Indo-China war 1962

Dalai Lama fled to India on 30 March 1959 as Chinese troops crushed an attempted uprising in Tibet.
India is claiming it’s liberty on the Panchsheel agreement signed on April 1954.

Panchsheel is the five principles of peaceful co existence were first formally enunciated in the agreement on trade and intercourse between the Tibet region of China and India. Panchsheel agreement stated that in its preamble that the two govt have resolved to enter into the present agreement based on the five principles.

1) Mutual Non aggression,

2) Mutual respect for each other territorial integrity,

3) Mutual Non interference,

4) Equality and mutual benefit,

5) Peaceful co existence.

The vision of Panchsheel is the framework not only for relations between India and China but also for their relations with all other countries.

Panchsheel as the principle core of the non aligned movement. Panchsheel continued to be reflected in world events even if there was no conscious attribution, finding, expression in the position of the developing countries in the north-south dialogue and in other groupings.


However in today’s world it is not enough that panchsheel be promoted as an alternative ideology that empowers the less developed. It should be made clear that panchsheel is an ideology for the entire world and is as relevant to the developed countries of the globe as it is to the less developed.

Indo china war also takes place in 1962 many claims its because of Dalai Lama as china wants him back when he fled to India. India claiming it’s liberty on the basis of Panchsheel agreement actually it was a renewed agreement of trade with Tibet, but with a new preface. China decided that the agreement would be renewed every eight years and not 10 years. Then the eight years were over in 1962. So the 1962 indo china war was planned long back in the 1950s. The 1962 war was already planted in the Panchsheel agreement. It has nothing to do with the Dalai Lama.
