Answer Hi Frank,
I must apologize for the delay in responding, I was on vacation and forgot to set my vacation dates on the AllExperts site.
The following website (run by a premier Indian research institute) contains lots of information and e-books on India-China relations from various perspectives.
A couple of books that I have heard contain good information are:
a) Foreign Policies of India, Pakistan and China by P.L. Bhola
b) Across Borders: Fifty Years of India's Foreign Policy by J.N. Dixit (a former Foreign Sec'y)
c) India's China Perspective by Subramanian Swamy (a Harvard grad and politician in India with somewhat interesting views)
