| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The border disputes of India with China and Pakistan are a parting gift of the British to the subcontinent. It is about inaccessible land that the British had acquired on India’s Northern, Western and Eastern borders to protect British India from the perceived threat of a Russian invasion, as these lands could act as buffer areas. Much of it was settled on paper with no land demarcation done on ground, so much so when a road was built by the Chinese in Aksai Chin area, Government of India came to know of it only when the Chinese announced the inauguration of the road. Likewise unmarked borders with Kashmir have resulted in decades of unrest in the region. |
