Samudra Manthan: Sino-Indian Rivalry in the Indo-Pacific C. Raja Mohan

Rising China and emerging India are becoming major maritime powers. As they build large navies to secure their growing interests, both nations are roiling the waters of the Indo-Pacific. Invoking a tale from Hindu mythology - Samudra Manthan or ""to churn the ocean"" - C. Raja Mohan tells the story of a Sino-Indian rivalry spilling over from the Great Himalayas into the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
