India says it has agreed with China to work urgently to achieve the withdrawal of tens of thousands of troops stationed along their disputed border in a long-running standoff.
Yes. Look at a globe and then touch the relief textures. Arunachal is part of the Indian continental landmass, which is very very clearly defined by the Himalayas, Hindu Kush, and Arakan mountains
Ok but we’re talking about countries not geographical regions. You do know there’s a difference between the country called India and the Indian subcontinent, right? There are more countries on the subcontinent than just India.
Countries and their borders are political constructs. You are of course free to think that a country should have its border on this or that geographical feature like a river or a mountain range, but reality is often more messy than that.
Geography is just one of many considerations that factor into where borders between two countries ultimately end up, there’s all sorts of political factors like history, demography, economic and strategic importance, etc.
“Touch the map, you will know intuitively know where the borders should be.” and other sentiments that sound like they were dreamed up by hopping mad crackers about to reenact the scramble for Africa
Which is exactly why China only claims it and doesn’t hold it. They had occupied all of it way back in the 62 war and would’ve held on to it if it made sense. At this point, the claim is just a pressure tactic against an India that regularly takes potshots at China to impress US.
Wtf. Yeah right they will take over the river of which the upper stream is already in tibet. Whoa they have grab this land to stop the water to go downstream, mind = blown.
You are a dumbass. Jesus. The upper tract is tsangpo. Only breaking thorough arunachal as siang and then meeting dibang and lohit from assam Brahmaputra is formed. Then further it would go on to meghna.
you literally can’t keep track of the argument lmao. done
the original argument was “losing arunachal = water insecurity”
you countered with “uhhh the tsangpo is acktshyually in Tibet” and ignored the massive amounts of water (snow) from Arunachal itself
somehow you can’t admit that you’re wrong, or you can’t keep track of what was said 4 comments ago
Hint: wanna actually disprove what I said? look at the volume flow rates for all those rivers on your map, and show me that a large amount of it originates from before it hits Arunachal
I was not even arguing dumb mf. That was you. You are the daft mf who keeps saying how taking arunachal will help china control Brahmaputra. Which is dumb af considering they can divert the upper stream. You on the other hand keep insisting that arunachal is the focal point where the river starts and therefore its being grabbed by china.
Now you are just saying uhhh you can’t remember what was said, Oh I do.
Idc care to disprove to obtuse mf who doesn’t understand shit.
Keep dreaming. No ones genuinely buys that siang just pops out arunachal. Not even India or Bangladesh. That’s why the outcry is still about diverting tsangpo with dams as china builds em. You keep living in whatever delusion that you got going.
You on the other hand keep insisting that arunachal is the focal point where the river starts and therefore its being grabbed by china.
Never said this, come up with more interesting headcanon
No ones genuinely buys that siang just pops out arunachal.
Again, never said this. the point is that losing control of 90% of your water supply is a lot worse than the current situation of not controlling 10% of it. Numbers!
Well it depends whose globe i look at doesn’t it? One side says one thing the other says another.
The point i was making is that most of the lines on the map that we call borders are really arbitrary and the arguments why they should be one way and not the other depend on your point of view. And the border between India and China is especially dubious in legitimacy because it was drawn by the British, and at a time when one of these two countries didn’t even exist/was a colony and the other was too weak to defend its sovereign interests and territory.
And i don’t understand the point you’re making about rivers.
I’ve heard of dividing borders on ethnicity but basing them on continental divides is a new one for me. Would you say all of Russia east of the Urals belongs to mongolia or something?
Nope, it’s part of India. Look at a globe.
and yea, anyone can claim anything. But if you continue to claim the river that feeds 600 million people, expect not to be cooperated with
Yes. Look at a globe and then touch the relief textures. Arunachal is part of the Indian continental landmass, which is very very clearly defined by the Himalayas, Hindu Kush, and Arakan mountains
Simple!

Look at the globe kashmir is on the mass of India, that’s ours. Simple
Wtf. Yeah right they will take over the river of which the upper stream is already in tibet. Whoa they have grab this land to stop the water to go downstream, mind = blown.
look at a globe, cracker
the river does not originate in Tibet, 90% of it originates in the mountains of Arunachal
You are a dumbass. Jesus. The upper tract is tsangpo. Only breaking thorough arunachal as siang and then meeting dibang and lohit from assam Brahmaputra is formed. Then further it would go on to meghna.
Maybe you should look at a map
சும்மா ஒலராத வாய மூடு
Keep posting maps dumb mf. Doesn’t change anything. Tsangpo is the upper tract. LOL

Nope! It’s like saying Colombia is part of North America
Again I can’t believe I have to say this but yea crackers know literally fucking anything at all about the rest of the world challenge: impossible
