Relations between China and India underwent a dramatic transformation from Buddhist-dominated to commerce-centered exchanges in the seventh to fifteenth centuries. The unfolding of this transformation, its causes, and wider ramifications are examined in this masterful analysis of the changing patterns of the interaction between the two most important cultural spheres in Asia. Moreover, policies to encourage foreign trade instituted by the Chinese government and the Indian kingdoms contributed to the intensification of commercial activity between the two countries and transformed the China-India trading circuit into a key segment of cross-continental commerce.

The fourth largest religion in the world, Buddhism has over 520 million followers worldwide.
India and China are home to sites of religious and historical value for the followers of Buddhism.
In India, which is the home and birthplace of Buddhism, the religion is viewed by leaders and civil society members around the country. particularly in the political and academic spheres, as a way of not only strengthening cultural and economic ties with various Southeast Asian countries, but also as a means of fostering connections and preserving the religious and cultural practices of Tibetan Buddhist refugees in India.
In contrast, China's increasing claims that Buddhism is a Chinese concept by releasing propaganda that it is an "ancient Chinese religion" is being furthered by building temples and promoting tourist trails, not only within the country but also in Southeast Asia.
Preserving domestic stability, diffusing hostility in Tibet and acquiring access to influential Buddhist organizations seem to be China's goals at present.
