NEW DELHI Asia's two nuclear-armed giants, India and China, have been engaged in a tense border standoff for the past two months, raising concerns that their close economic and trade ties could take a hit.
The border issue has given rise to calls in India for a boycott on Chinese products. Swadeshi Jagran Manch, an organization promoting indigenous goods, has stepped up action against Chinese products through petitions and meetings with traders, claiming it has secured the support of millions of Indians. The organization is affiliated with the Hindu nationalist group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological parent of the country's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
