Abstract
China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has multifaceted projects with a broad vision of many observers and analysts
from both countries. China and Pakistan. CPEC is one of the BRI's mega projects connecting the world to different
networks. The diplomats of the two countries, in their framework of national and international dynamics, point out
the fact that C-Pac will change the structure and geopolitical relations of South Asia. On the other hand, Indian
observers and analysts claim that CPEC is a Chinese tool and a scheme to "encircle India" while Pakistan is a key
partner with China. China has given Pakistan an opportunity to be an initiative partner of CPEC and an important
part of OBOR. It will provide Pakistan as well as the adjoining regions and the rest of the world with the option of
basic security and economic expansion. The impact of CPEC will be far-reaching and worldwide. That is why India is
also taking keen interest in this mega project and has had some clashes with China and Pakistan since the partition.
This flagship project marks the trade and economic integration between Pakistan and China in particular and
between other countries Iran, India, Afghanistan and Central Asian states. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions
between India and Pakistan represent political instability in South Asia. India has also dubbed itself the "Asian
Tiger" emerging in the eyes of the world. From time to time, India has been showing its aggression and negativity in
Sino-Pakistani relations. Indian researchers express their frustration with CPEC by classifying the project into several
factors. According to the Indian Strategic Community, BRI represents China's goal of emerging in the region. This
research paper will highlight India's criticism of C-Pac as Indian observers are analyzing the project as an
unsustainable debt burden for the countries involved in the C-Pac project. This article argues that India's position on
CPEC is a complex one towards CPEC because of India's criticism of this mega project for a number of reasons.
