I remember reading an article about China, and who it considers possible aggressors in the 21st centurary, and India topped the list. Weird.

Having an Indian in the team (we insource from India round our way) I've been having a crash course in Indian politics, and there was a little known war between India and China in the eastern part of India in 1962. China has territorial claims over bits of India and vice versa and as each side still has hundreds of thousands troops on the ground, so it's not surprising that they're fairly high up the list. India is of course the only realistic military and economic rival to China in the area, being the only other country in the world with > 10^9 people living there.
