IMO there are no permanent threats or allies. Historically both India and China have survived side by side for thousands of years, and probably have the longest relationship of any two major civilizations.
I think as long as China doesn't fall into the Abrahamic camp of either Islam or Christianity, the relations between India and CHina can be good. The Communists did great damage to traditional Chinese religions, which hopefully will re-emerge, Hinduism and Daoism have a lot in common and get along well in places like Singapore etc.
Christianity seems to making some inroads into China today. If China becomes a second Korea or Phillipines with fanatical new Christian converts, then things could get ugly in the world.
As far as India allying with China, I think India, China, US and the EU all have an interest now in maintaing the global trading order, and will work together to maintain it as long as the gravy train keeps going.

How do you think of China? Does India really regards China as a threat? Will India ally with China?
