Nirmal K. U
Abstract: India has attempted to find a legal as well as political solution to resolve the problem that is the border dispute and territorial integrity which has been present from the time of independence. The principle of territorial integrity under international law prohibits states from the use of forces against the "political independence or territorial integrity" of another state. Basically, the states or the political units claims a definite border for itself and it has power over the region it covers until the border and any other state which intrudes these borders will result in a war. When this situation prevails for a longer period of time it results in a border dispute. India is a peace - loving country and it has not invaded any country in the last 100000 years of history and also it has not used its forces to create a conflict in other neighbouring countries borders. This doesn?t mean that there was no conflict in the Indian borders. India has been facing quite a few disputes in its borders which is shared with its neighbouring countries and this is happening from the time of independence. This paper tries to analyse and understand the treaties that are in effect between India and china and the author has expressed his take on the treaties and has given suggestion to resolve the border tension that exist between the two countries.
