The History of Sino-Indian Relations and the Border Dispute between the Two Countries (2) b. Ladakh-Sinkiang (China) Border In 1960, on the insistence of Premier Chou Enlai, Prime Minister Nehru agreed to convene talks between Indian and Chinese border experts. The officials nominated by the two countries held 47 meetings over a period of six months from 15th June to 12th December 1960 in three different locations namely Delhi, Beijing and Rangoon. During these meetings the Chinese and the Indian officials received clarifications from each other on the border issue. After the conclusion of these meetings, on 14th February 1961 the Government of India’s report on border dispute was published. In this Report, the Indian government produced evidence to prove that the boundary between Ladakh and Sinkiang was well established even before the coming of the British in India. To prove its case this Report produced copies of unofficial maps published in China, India and other countries. The first map produced showed that at the end of the sixth century, the Kuenlun Mountains formed the southern limits of Sinkiang. The second map, which was drawn by Jen Chao, a Buddhist priest, in 1607 showed that the Tsungling (Kuenlun and Pamir, see attached Map 1), lay between India on the one hand and Sinkiang and Tibet on the other. for complete eye opening article visit resurgentindia.org/blog/2014/12/24/the-history-of-sino-indian-relations-and-the-border-dispute-between-the-two-countries-2/
