由尼赫魯開始的中間路線（上）

The centrism started from Nehru

人稱瓦傑帕伊是找錯政黨的“尼赫魯式政治家”。前面提到的蘭密施，自認受到開國總理尼赫魯的影響而成長。他們兩人既然是印度第三派的代表人物，那麼尼赫魯就應該是第三派的始祖了。正是尼赫魯奠定了既不像第一派蓄意與中國為敵、又不像第四派完全倒向中國的中間道路對華政策。過去50多年來印度所推行的是這個政策，未來很長時間內仍然會以這個政策為主。

People said that Vajpayee was the “Nehru-style” politician who participated a wrong party. Ramesh, who had been mentioned above, believed that he was affected by the ideas of Nehru, the founding prime minister. Since Vajpayee and Ramesh were the representatives of the centrism, Nehru was the founder of the centrism. The attitude of the first party was deliberately against China, while the fourth party was completely friendly to China. It was Nehru who established India’s centrism policy towards China which is different from the idea of the first and the fourth party. Over the past fifty years, India was promoted by the centrism, and we believe that this policy will still be the main policy towards China.

尼赫魯在1950年時曾經說：“中國是我最敬佩的國家。”但他的對華政策卻受到嚴峻的考驗。中國近現代政治家言論從不關注印度，唯一的例外是孫中山。可是，尼赫魯在所著《印度的發現》一本書中提到中國之處，就比孫中山畢生言論中提到印度之處還多。世界上沒有任何外國領導人像尼赫魯那樣關懷、敬仰、談論過中國。

Nehru once said, “China is a country I admired the most” in 1950. However, his attitude towards China had faced a severe test. China’s modern politician seldom focused on India. The only exception was Sun Yat-sen. Even so, the times Nehru mentioned China in his work, “The Discovery of India”, were more than the times Sun Yat-sen mentioned India in his whole life. There were no foreign leaders in the world like Nehru who would pay such close attention to China.
