The Western Sector
- Separates Jammu and Kashmir state of India from the Sinkiang (Xinjiang) province of China.
- The western sector boundary is largely the outcome of the British policy towards the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
- China claims the
Aksai Chin district,
the Changmo valley,
Pangong Tso and
the Sponggar Tso
area of north-east Ladakh as well as a strip of about 5,000 sq km down the entire length of eastern Ladakh. - China also claims a part of Huza-Gilgit area in North Kashmir (ceded to it in 1963 by Pakistan).
The Middle Sector
- Two Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand touch this border.
The Eastern Sector
- The 1,140 km long boundary between India and China runs from the eastern limit of Bhutan to a point near Diphu pass (Talu Pass) at the trijunction of India, Tibet and Myanmar.
- This line is usually referred to as the Mc Mahon Line after Sir Henry Mc Mahon, then foreign secretary of British India, who negotiated the boundary agreement between Great Britain and Tibet at Shimla accord in 1913-14.
Durand Line is the line demarcating the boundaries of India and Afghanistan. It was drawn up in 1896 by Sir Mortimer Durand.
Macmahon Line was drawn up by Sir Henry MacMahon, demarcating the frontier of India,Sikkim and China in 1914. China did not recognize the MacMahon line and crossed it in 1962 (Indo-China war.. took Aksai Chin)
Radcliffe Line was drawn up by Sir Cyril Radcliffe, demarcating the boundary between India and Pakistan.
LOC = LINE OF CONTROL IS THE IMAGINARY LINE SEPARATING INDIA & PAKISTAN THIS LINE IS NOT LEGALLY RECOGNIZED BY INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY BUT ONLY BY BOTH INDIA & PAKISTAN .
IF ANYONE , INDIA OR PAKISTAN CROSSED THE LOC OTHER THAN FOR HUMANITARIAN PURPOSE IT WILL INCITE MILITARY ACTION FROM BOTH SIDES.
LAC = LINE OF ACTUAL CONTROL IS THE IMAGINARY LINE SEPARATING INDIA & CHINA AT BOTH AKSAI CHIN & NEAR ARUNACHAL PRADESH.
BUT IN LAC IT IS AGREED BY BOTH INDIA & CHINA IN THE 1996 SINO-INDIAN AGREEMENT THAT BOTH SIDES WILL NOT DO ANY ACTS OF SOVEREIGN WHICH WILL OVERSTEP THIS IMAGINARY LINE.
SO IN SHORT……
IN LOC THERE IS A LOT OF CHANCE FOR ARMED CONFLICT BUT IN LAC THE CHANCES FOR ARMED CONFLICT IS RELATIVELY VERY LOW BUT STILL THE THREAT EXISTS ON BOTH SIDES ON BOTH LOC & LAC.
