Abstract
The China-Pakistan “all weather friendship” dates back to 1955 Bandung Conference which was rejuvenated by 1962 China’s defeat to India. Based on the Kautliyan maxim of “my enemy’s enemy is my friend, the China Pakistan alignment served the interests of both partners as it is prompted on their convergence vis a vis India. Thus, even after the end of Cold War their alignment survived and in fact got transformed to a formal alliance. This gets exemplified by the much talked about China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) where China’s investment reached $62 billion in April 2017. The China-Pakistan bonhomie in South Asia has tremendous geostrategic implications for India in the region. Thus the present study is an attempt to accentuate upon the current trajectory of China Pakistan Alignment i.e. CPEC and its geostrategic implications for India being the South Asian heavy weight.
