·        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 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.
