Notes

Depiction of India's borders

  • The territorial boundaries of India are shown as per the actual ground situation in accordance with international practices followed by the United Nations ([2], [3]) and the National Geographic Society ([4], [5])
  • This map is meant to be for illustrative purpose only and is not authenticated by official government sources. Please check the list of sources and references used to create the map for a measure of accuracy and verifiability.
  • The usage of these maps in India, Pakistan and China are governed by different laws that restrict depictions of boundaries other than what is officially recognized by the state. Please check local laws and modify the map accordingly before use.

Explanation of disputed boundaries

  • Boundary of Indian claim : The territory India claims is legally theirs, but the claim is disputed by China and Pakistan.
  • Line of Control/Line of Conflict : The de facto administrative boundary recognised by the international community. This UN ceasefire line is considered as a temporary solution to an ongoing conflict since the departure of the British Raj.

Borders of disputed regions

The depicted extent of the former territory of the British Indian Empire, succeeded by Republic of India, may not be accepted by few countries as legal due to ongoing border disputes:

  • The northern Himalayan region of the disputed territory Indian-administered Kashmir is claimed by India including (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) and the Chinese-occupied territory of (Ladakh plateau). Since 1972, it is divided between all three countries. See also Line of Control and Line of Actual Control.
  • Siachen glacier (shown white) is an actively contested region between India and Pakistan. Since 1984, the region is under Indian control.
  • The northeastern territory of Arunachal Pradesh is almost entirely claimed by China as part of its Tibetan territory.
  • Minor areas of eastern Kashmir's Ladakh division, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on the Chinese frontier are claimed by China. These areas are under Indian control.
  • A small area of Uttarakhand adjoining the Nepal border along the Sarda river is disputed between the two countries.
