The Chinese claim is based mainly on ethnic grounds and the claim that the Wastelands of Aksai Chin are just an extension of Tibet and Sinkiang in terms of language, religion, and culture.
However, the borders have never been determined precisely due to the rugged terrain that leads to several border disputes between India and China.
These borders were defined by the Treaties of 16 (known as the Ladakh-Tibet Agreement) and were respected by the 1842 agreement between Kashmir, Tibet, and China. The boundary of the western sector is the result of British policy towards Jammu and Kashmir. Here, the border is between India’s Indus system and China’s Khotan system. To the north, the border follows the chains of Mustagh Ata, Aghil, Karakoram, Qara Tagh and Kunlun, while to the south, they extend from the Karakoram basin, separating the streams that flow into the basins from the Indus and Tarim, and continue to the Kailash range. The border between Sinkiang and POK is about 480 km and the rest is between Tibet and Ladakh. Sino-Indian boundary disputes can be broadly categorized into 3 sectors normally:Ī long border of 2,152 km separates Jammu and Kashmir from the sinking Chinese province. Thus, the buffer character of Tibet between India and China ceased to exist and Razor-thin Boundary became operative. In the same year, India reorganized Chinese sovereignty over Tibet and it was brought under the direct control of China. Since India’s Independence on 15th August and the communist takeover of China on 1st October 1949, goodwill gesture developed between 2 countries and in 1954 a general agreement containing principle “ Panchsheel” was announced.ġ) Mutual respect for each other territorial integrity and sovereignty.ģ) Mutual Non-Interference in each other internal affairs. China never accepted this border nut ignored during British rule in India. Since it was difficult to demarcate this border precisely due to the rugged terrain of the region, it was inaccurately delimited between British India and Independent Tibet. This border is the product of Manchu policy, Chinese Republican policy, and British policy. India shares 3,917 km border with China, which is the second-largest border of India and accounts for over 1/4th of its total border.įive Indian states Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh touch the border of China.
