| Abstract | Between 641 and 658 C.E., at least four diplomatic missions were dispatched to the kingdom of Kanauj in central India by the Tang court (618-907) of China. A close examination of these seventh-century Chinese embassies in this essay reveals the personal and other-worldly objectives of Chinese emperors, Buddhist monks, and laymen in Sino-Indian relations. Motivated by personal agendas, individuals such as the eminent monk Xuanzang, Emperor Taizong, and the Chinese diplomat Wang Xuance helped open and sustain the political channels between China and South Asia. Diplomatic exchanges between the Tang court and Kanauj seem to have benefited or influenced the contemporary Buddhist community and mercantile groups, and they promoted subsequent Sino-Indian contacts. |
