India occupies a key position in the communist strategy of world revolution. As a result of numerous factors, geographical as well as geopolitical, New Delhi was destined to become a bone of contention in commu nist internecine conflict.
China's attempt to enlarge its influence among the Indian Com munists to the detriment of the Soviet Union in the 1940s and its paranoidal fear of a strong Soviet-backed India since the 1950s as its rival in Asia are crucial factors in the Sino-Soviet conflict over India.
This conflict over India reflects the divergent national and inter national interests, gropolitical perspectives and historic ani mosity between Communist China and the Soviet Union.
The Chinese Communists want to see a weak India leaving China overlord of Asia, A strang India, economically and militarily supported by the Soviet Union, is considered inimical to China's interests.
