The wounds of partition dont mean anything to those that haven't lived through them, and that link is fading fast.The battle with Pakistan is very different man. It's a clash of ideologies and the wounds of partition are still engraved in the hearts of millions . Whereas the only problem between india and china is the unresolved border issue. China has the aspirations of being a global super power but how can it be one if it doesn't make peace with it's neighbors ? Honestly chinese leadership is being very short sighted by trying to use force against india. They should've known by now that India can't be defeated in a total war.
In such a situation where you can't force your adversary to accept defeat the only option left is to make peace
Ideologically, one could make an argument for a clash, but where in heavens is it written that you cannot coexist if you disagree with each other.
The economic synergy that arises from a stable economically integrated southern asia is far more worthy over this feud. Money will always triump sentiment, eventually
With the Chinese the seperation of our nations by a gargantuan natural barrier and vast distances between population centers afford us certain protections in that regard. With Pakistan this is the reverse.
If India is to be a super power, we cannot have Pakistan as our enemy. As simple as that.
