        abstract = {Landslides are a major geotechnical hazard in India and China due to diverse climate and terrain conditions. In India, landslides are mainly triggered by monsoon rainfall, which increases pore water pressure and weakens lateritic and residual soils, causing shallow slope failures. In China, landslides are influenced by rainfall, earthquakes, and collapsible loess soils, often resulting in deep and sudden failures. Geotechnically, India is dominated by hydrological effects, while China involves both seismic and hydrological factors. This study highlights key differences and emphasizes the need for region-specific landslide mitigation strategies.},
