[edit] Explanation of disputed boundaries
- Boundary of Indian claim : The extent upto which the Indian administration claims as rightfully theirs, but is not recognised by China and Pakistan.
- Line of Control : The defacto boundary recognised by the international community, but not by India, China and Pakistan. This boundary is a temporary solution to the ongoing conflict.
[edit] Borders of disputed regions
The extent of Indian territory depicted on this map may not be accepted by some countries as legal due to ongoing border disputes:
Borders of some minor disputed areas have been omitted for the sake of simplicity:
- Minor areas of Jammu & Kashmir, 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.
