Read excerpt
Sept. 14, 2026, 2:31 p.m. ET | New Delhi Chinese President Xi Jinping stood beside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi over the weekend, six years after troops from their respective countries fought a deadly clash along the disputed Himalayan border.

Read excerpt
A new railway – one of the world’s most ambitious – is bringing trade and tourism to a disputed and long-isolated region in northern India. But reminders of Kashmir’s troubles are never far away.
