"The Sino-Indian Border Dispute: From Its Genesis to War and Beyond" is a book review that discusses two books on the Sino-Indian rivalry and border dispute. The first book, "The Fractured Himalaya" by Nirupama Rao, provides a fair-minded account of the sources of the rivalry and the 1962 border war. It highlights the historical memories and the contested status of Tibet as key factors in the rivalry. The second book, "Understanding the India-China Border" by Manoj Joshi, focuses on recent developments in Sino-Indian relations and argues that the breakdown in bilateral relations is due to a number of reasons, including an increasingly asymmetric relationship and India's efforts to bolster its own capabilities along the disputed border. The review concludes that the dispute is unlikely to be resolved in the foreseeable future. [Extracted from the article]
