News: <\/strong>The Ladakh conflict opened up the discussion on India China border issue. The government maintains that \u2018no Indian territory has been occupied by China\u2019. But the satellite imagery, expert views suggest Chinese encroachment on Indian land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s defeat in the Sino-India war of 1962<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and later skirmishes between India and China led to huge mistrust. Yet, the disputed boundary remains undemarcated and unmarked for 60 long years.<\/p>\n

What are the concerns for India? <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Efforts by politicians and diplomats to de-link the border issue from the rest of the Sino-Indian relationship appear to be a negligent attitude to resolve LAC.
\nFreshly built Chinese enclaves and renamed towns located in Arunachal is a matter of concern. Indian troops are unable\u00a0to access previously patrolling points in Ladakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese old tactics of salami-slicing territory<\/strong> and disdain for International laws <\/strong>should be taken as matters of serious concern, and India shouldn\u2019t be complacent in hoping to resolve the dispute with time.<\/p>\n

What should be the way forward?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

First, India can learn from the past and follow the \u201cquid pro quo<\/strong>\u201d proposed by Zhou Enlai. He proposed China would recognise the McMahon Line in exchange for India making certain adjustments in the west.<\/p>\n

Second, India can put sustained pressure on China<\/strong> on diplomatic, trade, and psychological fronts and awaits results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, India could threaten China\u2019s Indian Ocean sea lanes<\/strong> via trade war. India\u2019s strategic presence near the Strait of Malacca could be utilized in this regard. The last way out could be to maintain the status quo and engage in sustained military\/diplomatic parleys<\/strong> for a positive outcome.<\/p>\n

A pragmatic stand to settle international borders peacefully could make India focus further on its nation-building and socio-economic development.<\/p>\n
