As a matter of fact, both China and Pakistan have greatly been/will be benefiting/ benefited from the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, but at the same time, it is being thought of by the neighboring country, India, as a threat to her. India, a hegemonic power in the region, has always been mindful of Chinese interference in this region and has been considering the greater cooperation of China with Pakistan as a threat to their regional power and, thus, in a way, interference in the cause of Kashmir particularly Pakistan’s claim to it. In order to balance the power in the region, India has been trying its best to oppose the Cooperation in the form of CPEC as it will not only benefit China but Pakistan as well and make Pakistan more secure. The research assignment is aimed at highlighting the current Indo-Pak relations as well as the impact of CPEC on Indo-Pak rivalry with future analysis based on observations.
