ABOUT THE BOOK

China's One Belt One Road (OBOR): China-Nepal-India, compiled and edited by the distinguished military veteran and academician Brig. (Prof.) B.S. Joshi, AVSM (Retd.), is an analytical reference volume focused on contemporary South Asian geopolitics. Published by Randhir Prakashan, this comprehensive study examines the structural, economic, and strategic friction points arising from China’s multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure network across the Indian subcontinent. The core philosophy of this text centers on analyzing the shifts in regional hegemony caused by trans-Himalayan connectivity. Brigadier Joshi frames the overland corridor not merely as a passive trade route, but as a high-stakes geopolitical instrument through which Beijing seeks to recalibrate economic dependency, challenge India's traditional security perimeter, and establish a Sino-centric trade architecture across landlocked buffer states.

The narrative is organized into a detailed, data-driven framework that explores the complex trilateral relationship between New Delhi, Kathmandu, and Beijing. Rather than offering speculative political commentary, the text relies on curated, public-domain administrative records, bilateral treaties, and infrastructure project blueprints to trace how the ancient Silk Road has been modernized into a complex matrix of roads, railways, and dry ports. The book features intensive analysis dedicated to Nepal’s strategic positioning, detailing how its integration into OBOR impacts the historic open-border arrangement and special security relationship established by the 1950 Indo-Nepal Treaty of Peace and Friendship. By dissecting the financial mechanisms, debt-trap risks, and military implications of trans-Himalayan transit corridors, the volume functions as a comprehensive, objective briefing manual for understanding the changing security dynamics of South Asia's mountain frontiers.
