   I reviewed the paper thoroughly and based on the hypothetical model, we cannot access the actual scenario of trade among countries. Several hidden and more effective factors should also be brought into consideration.

   I have gone through the article. I think the data on India's trade with China can be easily updated by another year to 2005-06. The ministry of commerce, government of India has posted data up to 2005-06 in its data base. Secondly, the source of most of the tables is also mentioned as CMIE. I am not sure whether it is a good idea to use CMIE database. It is generally considered to be unreliable . To depict trade between two countries, it would be advisable to use international trade sources say for instance COMTRADE.
   Thanks
