Question

Q. Consider the following Boundary lines:

Which of the above are related to the border disputes between India and China?

• A. 1, 3 and 4 only
• B. 1, 3 and 5 only
• C. 1, 2 and 3 only
• D. 1, 4 and 5 only

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1, 3 and 4 only

Explanation:

• Johnson-Ardagh Line and Macdonald Line are related to the disputes in the Western Sector. The Johnson-Ardagh line shows the Aksai Chin region as a territory within the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir while the Macartney-MacDonald line placed much of Aksai Chin in China.
• McMahon Line acts as the de facto boundary line in the Eastern sector. However, China refuses to accept this.
• The Radcliffe line is the international boundary between India and Pakistan on the western side and between India and Bangladesh on the eastern side.
• The Durand Line is the international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. India also has a small claim to the borderline through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (about 105 km of the easternmost section of the boundary line).
