The real Map of India

in: International Affairs

india_map Today I am going to show you the real map of India. This is not the one which you found in your old geography and history books. But before this, I would like to give you some background. After getting the Independence from English rule, India and Pakistan fought their first war over Jammu and Kashmir in 1948. However due to intervention from United Nations, both agreed to a ceasefire. As a result of of this ceasefire, 1/3 of Kashmir went to Pakistan. After 1971 Indo-Pak war, under the terms of the Shimla agreement, the ceasefire line was renamed the Line of Control.

Now the situation is that both India and Pakistan claim Jammu and Kashmir as their integral part. However, according to BBC, India is ready to accept LOC as the international boundary but Pakistan is not ready to accept status quo in this controversial land.

India and Pakistan after 1948 ceasefire ::

kashmir-1948

In 1962 China attacked India in Akshai Chin region of Kashmir and easily defeated Indian troops and captured a big portion of India.

kashmir-1962

The Indian-controlled part of Jammu and Kashmir became a state in 1974. The parts of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan, Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas, have anomalous status as administered territories. In 1963 China and Pakistan delimited a boundary and gave control of Shaksam Valley to China.

Current Position in Kashmir ::

Kashmir-2011

This the current map of disputed areas of the region of Kashmir. India claims the entire erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir based on an instrument of accession signed in 1947. Pakistan claims all areas of the erstwhile state except for those claimed by China. China claims the Shaksam Valley and Aksai Chin.

India claims the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir but right now administers approximately 43% of the region, including most of Jammu, the Kashmir Valley, Ladakh, and the Siachen Glacier.

Pakistan controls approximately 37% of Kashmir, namely Azad Kashmir and the northern areas of Gilgit and Baltistan.

China controls 20% of Kashmir, including Aksai Chin, which it occupied following the brief Sino-Indian War of 1962, and the Trans-Karakoram Tract (also known as the Shaksam Valley), which was ceded by Pakistan in 1963.

India has officially stated that it believes that Kashmir is an integral part of India, though the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, stated after the 2010 Kashmir Unrest that his government is willing to grant autonomy within the purview of Indian constitution to Kashmir if there is consensus on this issue.

Pakistan says that Kashmir is a disputed territory whose final status must be determined by the people of Kashmir. China states that Aksai Chin is a part of China and does not recognize the addition of Aksai Chin to the Kashmir region. Certain Kashmiri independence groups believe that Kashmir should be independent of both India and Pakistan.

It is really sad for India that today territory equivalent to the size of Kerala State of India is under Chinese occupation and had recently even objected to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh. The state of Arunachal Pradesh is claimed by China as part of South Tibet.

So the real map of India is

Being an Indian, I would love to see great Indian republic as

But what’s the solution?

    Brothers and Sisters, our Indian Military is so weak that it is not able to defend itself and our country. This military of ours should b like those whose first aim should b to protect indian borders and its people. look at the Israilis how they occupied the country of others, how ferocious they are and how determined they are about its own state. We have been sleeping my dears. we need to wake up and fight at least for our rights. Jai Hind.

    One more war with pakistan and India will get all Kashmir back ..Due to our military policy that “Never attack first stand”..We cannot start a fight first..but we are waiting when pakistan starts the fight and we will get back our total kashmir from pakistan which had made POK a safe heaven for terrorists..Forget about kashmir first pakistan has to save baluchistan which wants its freedom from pakistan..One full fledged war under modi’s rule and India will wipe all terrorism from earth and forget about kashmir we will capture whole pakistan to eradicate terrorism..certainly we will give pakistan back we dont want it or need it but then we will keep whole POK to India..and this time India will keep army bases in pakistan to curb terrorism which had to be done during 1965 war itself which was biggest mistake by India’s PM at that time.

    Great article! Thanks for providing knowledge of things no one tells us, be it media or politics; I doubt even our parents would know these details.

    P. S. For the little fight going on in comments, people just live peacefully, internet ranting and raging won’t get us anywhere. I know many great Pakistani ppeople, many great Indian people, but it’s not us to decide what’s wrong or right. Many Pakistani kashmiris want to get to India, many Indian kashmiris want to go to Pakistan, and many want to stand alone, which in the microscopic probability would be possible. But one thing that we can emphasise on is the facts and history is always factual, not opinions. What the historical state of the disputed territories was, infact undoubtedly WAS. What the future state should be is only opinions, but the ones whose opinions really matter are the people who live there; not individually but collectively!

    from the ancient time,Indian region was spread from east( border of Myanmar) to Afghanistan even till the mogal era.
    but Afghanistan was parted many years ago.And after partition between India and Pakistan .Pakistan attacked India and captured a large land.and China attacked in 1962 and captured aksai chin.
    But now India has the power that India can get it’s parts of land as aazad kasmir and aksai chin from both pak and China.
    I only want to say to pak and China that India had gave only till today not snach from anybody.But it’s the time for India to achieve all the things which it had lost.
    isliye mere Pakistani logo ab ready ho jao wapas krne k liye Jo tmhare pas kasmeer h..
    air khas kr China tum..kyu ki mujhe lgta h ki agla no tumhata hi hai

    bhai dena to parega kasmir has ke do ya ro ke do.
    o kasmir hi hai ki pura pakistan ko ditroy karega, kasmir ka maintanence karne me pura pakistan barbad ho jayega, jo bhi lon liya hai o to de nahi payega or jyada lon me dub jayega.
    tum log ape aap hi bech doge pakistan ko chaina or amerika ko,
    aab tujhe pakistan ke bare me sochana chahiye na ki kasmir ke bare me.

    I believe Indian n Pakistani does not have any other motive or objective in life then fighting on the same bloody and old dogmatic useless topic beside Kashmir belongs to whom. Both counties and its people are always interested in pointing out how bad other is without even realizing the condition of their own people. Surprisingly both are 3rd world nation with too much corruption, population, poverty, misery. With amongst the most polluted air, water & land, both governments keep fooling its citizens by encouraging them to flight all lifelong on these stupid topics of Kashmir.
    If people are fool then not even God can help them…Good luck Indian & Pakistani…keep fighting about this all your life n be 3rd world always.

    China wants Aksai Chin, thats STILL reasonable as India lost to China in 1962 BUT India never lost ANY LAND from pakistan in ANY WAR. LOC was only implemented for cease fire and STILL India is ready to accept LOC as International Borders while Pakistan is being greedy and wants the part of lands that it was never able to capture. it doesnt become your country’s land if the Army marches in your region. if Indian Army marches in Punjab(pakistan) from Indian Punjab and then calls Cease fire, will the Pakistani Punjab become part of Indian punjab? NO. Think about before fighting and DONT bring any kind of religion in it.

    I am not satisfied with the map accepted as India should be above including aksai chin and pok. It should be as it should also include Afghanistan Pakistan Bangladesh Bhutan.
    This would be the original India

    Hey bro
    The way you are taking this problem so easily it isn’t like that
    And here no one is fighting with any one
    So You asshole shut your mouth
    And keep it in mind that that whatever things you are using have a large contribution of Indians in that
    We have the most brilliant engineers
    Go and check out in NASA Microsoft and Google
    We have largest contribution every where
    Sure, we have many problems but that doesn’t mean that we are nothing
