文明整合与CHINDIA

中国和印度,交通自古,文缘恒久。一部中印文化交流史,堪称人类跨文化交流的典范。进入现代,中印文化交流愈发交光互影,迈进全新里程;两国关系,虽然发生过不愉快,而且其影响至今仍未彻底消弥,但也只属于“百分之一”。进入新世纪,特别是温家宝总理、胡锦涛主席先后于2005年、2006年成功访印,建立中印战略合作伙伴关系,两国关系进入了历史上的最佳时期。其中,一件标志性的事情,是印度经济学家、商务部长兰密施于2005年出版的Making Sense of Chindia:re-flections on China and India一书,随即在印度及国际社会和中国引起巨大反响,Chindia一词成了热点关键词。今年四月下旬,为落实巩固胡主席访印成果,推动中印关系新发展,深圳大学和中国南亚学会联合召开“中国印度关系国际研讨会”与“2007中国南亚学会年会”。来自印度、美国、中国大陆和台湾的一百多位专家学者欢聚深圳,围绕“胡锦涛主席访印后的中印关系”、“CHINDIA的内涵及反响”、“中印战略合作伙伴关系”等议题,展开深入探讨。这是一次中印关系史上具有重要意义的学术盛会。在此,我们特向广大读者推荐三篇文章:印度驻华大使拉奥琦的《21世纪的印度与中国》(Indiaand China in the 21st Century)、著名美籍华裔印度学家谭中的《“CHINDIA/中印大同”理想与实现》和北京大学教授尚会鹏的《文明整合与CHINDIA》。《21世纪的印度与中国》一文,表达了一位印度资深高级外交官对当下中印关系的积极评价和未来前景的乐观展望,充满睿智、殷切和对中印两国人民深深的爱。谭中的文章,凝聚着他和他的父亲——被誉为“现代玄奘”的谭云山先生两代人的中印情结,浓烈而深沉。尚会鹏教授则用CHINDIA/中印大同分层次的观点来阐述其阶段性,同时对中印文明整合催生世界新文明给予了肯定的判断和热切的期盼。

Integration of Civilizations and CHINDIA

Between China and India,there have been contacts and eternal cultural associations since ancient times.The history of the cultural exchanges between the two countries can be said to be a paragon of trans-cultural communications.Since entering the modern times,the cultural exchanges,exercising influence on each other,have undergone a brand-new course of development.Though there has been some un satisfactory time in the relations between the two countries,the influence of which has not disappeared up till now,yet it constitutes only "one percent".Since entering the new century,the relations between them two have been in the best period when establishing the ties of strategic co-operative partnership after Chinese premier Wen Jiabao and President Hu Jintao visited India respectively in 2005 and 2006.One of the landmark event was the publication of the book Making Sense of Chindia: Reflections on China and India by Lanmith,economist and Minister of Commercial Affairs,which has found an echo in Indian and the international community and in China.Chindia has become a hot
