·        Former Foreign Secretary of India 'Nirupama Menon Rao' has come out with her new book "The Fractured Himalaya: The Past Shadow the Present in India-China Relations".

·        The book traces how the origins of the dispute between India and China form part of a living history that shapes their broken relationship today.

·        The Fractured Himalaya is a rigorous examination of both the workings of diplomacy and its humanitarian and policy quotient; it looks at inflection points when the trajectory of the relationship could have been changed, but were missed.
