How to deal with China

How does India deal with China? China does not have any further territorial claims in northern Vietnam! The demarcation of the Vietnam China border is already outrageously and predominantly biased in favour of China. Ultimately, the Chinese have already occupied all the territory in India which they want and claim. Aksai Chin, the Cis- Kuen Lun Tract in Kashmir extending from the Chhogori Peak (K2) and the Shimshal in central Kashmir to the Raskam adjoining the Kuen Lun Range in northern

Kashmir wherein are the Dafdar, the Taghdumbash Pamir and Mariom Pamir in northern Kashmir and the Kukalang, Yangi, Kilian, Sanju-la and Hindutash Passes in Kashmir, Rudokh, Shang Shung or Guge. India cannot permit the status quo to continue where India would continue to claim that, say the Aksai Chin or Cis-Kuen Tract is an integral part of India and under illegal Chinese occupation but the territory would  continue to remain in illegal military  Chinese occupation prolonged and indefinitely. India has to do something to take back our areas from illegal Chinese occupation. That's why, China is so very utterly desperate to clinch a deal in the so called border talks because it is they who desperately want to give legitimacy and credibility to their illegal occupation of parts of India. India has to voraciously raise the issue of the disputed restive area of Ningxia & Shanxi in the far distant northwestern frontiers of China adjoining the Republic of Mongolia in the International fora whenever China raises the issue of Kashmir! When China raises the issue of Kashmir

which is per se an integral part of India historically, we should not retaliate by talking about Tibet or East Turkistan which are per se foreign countries which historically were never part of China. We should not equate Kashmir with Tibet or East Turkistan, which is what they prefer. They would laugh behind our backs! What Afghanistan is historically to India as the northwestern part of India historically, Shanxi is historically to China! Chinese occupied East Turkistan is not a part of distant China in East Asia. There is an independence movement going on in East Turkistan and if the cunning,  sly and shrewd Regime in China is  able to deceive the international community and convince them that the independence movement is inspired by the Tahliban and Al -Qaeda, then the Chinese can obtain a carte

blanche and summarily  suppress,annihilate and exterminate  the legitimate independence movement with impunity   without having to adhere to principles of rule of law or  to any protocol adhered to by civilised nations whatsoever under the façade of alleged  war against Islamic jihadi terror  without being questioned, accountable or answerable to the International Community about their commission of the grave crimes against humanity and of genocide on the East Turkistanis or the violation of  their   human rights!  In reality the movement for the independence of East Turkistan is no more a manifestation of Islamic terror than the movement for the independence of Tibet is a manifestation of Buddhist terrorism!

Recognition of Tibet as a Sovereign Nation

Why should at all Tibet be a part of the Chinese empire? Is Korea or Japan or Burma a part of China? The underlining reason for the succumbing and capitulation by the Dalai Lama is coercion and duress and If he wants Tibet to be a part of another country, Tibet can accede to India which is the mother country and the source of Tibetan culture and civilization. Is China going to decolonise Tibet and take back the Chinese settlers? Is China going to recognise Amdo and Kham and Altyn Tagh as an inalienable and integral part of Tibet and declare the partition of Tibet as illegal and unlawful? Is China going to return to Tibet the territory in Tibet annexed to adjoining Chinese western frontier provinces and undo the annexation of parts of Tibet to adjoining East Turkistan to the north of the International Boundary on the Altyn Tagh Range? Is China going to apologise for the Crimes against Humanity and genocide committed on the Tibetans and pay reparations to Tibet and Is China going to recognise a reunified Tibet comprising the areas of southern Tibet, Altyn Tagh and Amdo, and Kham as a state on par with China in a federation comprising inter alia China , Tibet, Southern Mongolia , and East Turkistan? What nonsense is the Dalai Lama talking? The proud Tibetan people should denounce and repudiate his unscrupulous statements and show him his place and ask him to mind his business as the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism

and not meddle in the Political affairs of Tibet vis-à-vis the legal status of Tibet as a Sovereign state! As stated by me, the issue of independence of Tibet is not to be decided just by the Tibetans alone. India has an unfettered and absolute right to a unified and Sovereign and neutral Tibet which is historically the traditional neighbouring country of India and a shield and barrier between distant and far away State of China in East Asia and India which cannot and will not be compromised! Sooner rather than later there will be a sea change in the foreign policy of India vis-à-vis China and India will have to go back to the basic crux of the issue rather than beating around the bush which is that historically China is a distant and far away country in East Asia which shares a border neither with the Republic of India nor the Sub-continent of India. There has to inevitably be a Sea Change in the foreign policy of India and the Government of India should in recognition of the sovereign status of our historical and traditional neighbouring countries, i.e. Tibet and East Turkistan in no uncertain terms tell the Chinese bluntly in their face unequivocally that China is a country in distant and far away East Asia which historically shared a border with neither the Republic of India nor the Sub-continent of India and there is nothing for the Government of India to talk to the rogue state militarily and illegally occupying the sovereign states of Tibet and East Turkistan and that India will in due course at the appropriate time and place talk to the legitimate de jure Governments of the Sovereign States of East Turkistan and Tibet. Historically India and China had friendly relations only because both the two countries were far away and distant and so remote from each other. India was the sub-continent of India or South Asia and China was in East Asia and between both these two nations was the buffer lands of Tibet, Mongolia and East Turkistan which had to be traversed by Chinese monks in search of knowledge and wisdom from India, China has no more right to Tibet or business in Tibet than India has and China has no more right to claim a border at Mount Everest than India has a right to claim an International Border with China at Minyak Gangkar. So there!

 The institution of Dalai Lama is an alien and foreign concept and imposition in Tibet and has nothing per se to do with the historical nation of Tibet. The Dalai Lama who is in collusion with the regime in China is either by default or design is hand in glove with the regime in China is undermining the immediate prospects of Tibetan Independence and is an impediment to the eventual inevitable independence of Tibet and the re-establishment of a Sovereign and independent state of Tibet which is waiting to happen, which is a historically a neutral buffer and barrier between India or the Sub-continent of India on one side and China or East Asia on an other side. It is for the people of Tibet to decide whether they want to retain a diluted format or version of the per se useless and pernicious institution of Dalai Lama bereft of dictatorial power and authority as a purely religious and apolitical office with all the powers of the Dalai Lama drastically curtailed and stripped as a Constitutional office as is the King of the English, or whether they would altogether abolish the obnoxious foreign and alien institution of Dalai Lama which is an alien foreign construct in Tibet and establish an irreligious, secular modern progressive sovereign and independent state of Tibet bereft of all the impositions of extraneous pernicious medieval superstitious beliefs, theocracy and customs, which are not germane to the original historical civilization of Tibet.

It is high time that there is a Sea change in the foreign

policy of India towards China and India goes back to the basic issue and condemn and denounce one Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru rather than beat around the bush and try to redress the anti- Indian policies of Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru who in collusion with inter alia the Chinese and Government of the United Kingdom to the detriment of India has inflicted the greatest damage to India and India will continue to bleed for a prolonged and indefinite period of time, and tell the Chinese in no uncertain terms that China is a distant country in East Asia and China neither has a common border with India nor the Sub-continent of India and India has nothing whatsoever to talk to the Chinese pertaining to India's international border with Tibet and East Turkistan and India only needs to liberate the areas in India under Chinese occupation peacefully or otherwise and nothing else, and that Tibet is not a part of China but historically a buffer and shield between India or the Sub-continent of India and distant China in East Asia. Any outcome of the illegal border talks with the Chinese is per se on the basis of subservience. coercion and duress and is ab initio illegal and null and void and will be denounced and repudiated by the people of India. The Indian Government should not shamelessly create a situation whereby the proud people of India should be made to denounce and repudiate the so called border talks with a distant and far away country which does not at all share a border with India and has a military presence along the frontiers of India only because of its blatant illegal military occupation of Tibet and East Turkistan. So there!

The entire so-called border talks which is being conducted by these well dressed subservient, spineless, shameless and anti-national Babus under duress and coercion with a distant and far away country, China in East Asia which neither shares an International Border with India nor the Sub-continent of India but is in illegal military occupation of our Sovereign neighbouring nations of Tibet and East Turkistan is only to subserve the purpose of China and to give legitimacy to its illegal occupation of the Cis-Kuen Lun Tract in northern

Kashmir particularly India's beloved Aksai Chin and is  per se ab initio illegal and null and void and also ultra vires the Sacrosanct Constitution of India! The foolish Government of India should not create a situation where a so-called successful "deal is clinched" and a "historic agreement is arrived" with China which will result in creating a situation which will be a further mess and a further burden cast on the proud people of India to repudiate, denounce and  undo and vitiate it, where there will be a revolution in India and the whole procedure will be waiting to be inevitably repudiated and denounced by the proud people of India.

The Lies and deceit of Neville Maxwell

Apropos the shameless and deceitful statements of Neville Maxwell author of  "India's China War"  who has

recently published selective portions of the so called " Henderson Brooks-Bhagat Report "  that, "Then in 1954 he compounded that mistake by laying cartographic claim to a swathe of territory in the north-west, the Aksai Chin, a claim which was beyond anything the British had ever claimed and on "an area which Chinese governments had treated as their own for at least a hundred years". To make matters worse, he ruled that there should be no negotiation over that claim either! So Indian policy had created a border dispute and also ruled out the only way it could peacefully be settled, through diplomatic negotiation", the  map given officially by Hung Ta Chen, a senior Chinese official, to the British Indian consul at Kashgar, in 1893 as well as the The “Postal map of China”, 1917, an official publication of the Government of China, published at Peking in 1917 refutes his perverted claim that the Chinese Government had treated the area  as their own for at least a hundred years. Yaqub Beg set up an independent Muslim country in East Turkistan which survived until 1877 when the Chinese troops recaptured Kashgar. W.H. Johnson’s survey established certain important points. Brinjga was the boundary post ( near the Karanghu Tagh Peak in the Kuen Lun in Ladakh), thus implying that the boundary lay along the Kuen Lun Range. Johnson’s findings demonstrated that the whole of the Kara Kash valley was  within the territory of the Maharaja of Kashmir and an integral part of the territory of Kashmir. He noted where the Chinese boundary post was accepted. At Yangi Langar, three marches from Khotan , he noticed that there were a few fruit trees at this place which originally was a post or guard house of the Chinese. Ney Elias who had been Joint Commissioner in Ladakh for several years noted on 21 September 1889 that he had met the Chinese in 1879 and 1880 when he visited Kashgar. “they told me that they considered their line

of ‘chatze’, or posts, as their frontier – viz. , Kugiar, Kilian, Sanju, Kiria, etc.- and that they had no concern with what lay beyond the mountains. The Chinese completed the reconquest of eastern Turkistan in 1878. Before they lost it in 1863, their practical authority, as Ney Elias British Joint Commissioner in Leh from the end of the 1870s to 1885, and Younghusband consistently maintained, "had never extended south of their outposts at Sanju and Kilian along the northern foothills of the Kuenlun range. Nor did they establish a known presence to the south of the line of outposts in the twelve years immediately following their return".The Kashmir authorities maintained two caravan routes right upto the traditional boundary. One, from Pamzal, known as the Eastern Changchenmo route, passed through Nischu, Lingzi Thang, Lak Tsung, Thaldat, Khitai Pass, Haji Langar along the Karakash valley”(obviously via Sumgal) “to Shahidulla. Police outposts were placed along these routes to protect the traders from the Khirghiz marauders who roamed the Aksai Chin after Yaqub Beg’s rebellion against the Chinese (1864-1878). The kingdom of Ladakh had always historically comprised Shangshung, Nari-Khorsum including  Guge. This was even prior to

period  Ladakh or  Maryul came under the Tibetan influence! By no stretch of influence was Aksai Chin 35°03'25.5"N 80°49'04.8"E, Ladakh  a disputed area. It was historically since time immemorial an integral part of Ladakh or Maryul  pure and simple.    Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru had  in fact also arbitrarily, unconstitutionally and illegally published in 1954 out of the blue, a per se outright spurious and bogus map out of the blue in accordance with his perverted whims and fancies which illegally did not depict areas in Kashmir which hitherto had been depicted as an integral part of India by the Survey of India in the various maps published prior to 1954 pertaining to the period immediately prior to the commencement of the Constitution of India in particular inter alia the official maps attached to the White Papers published in July 1948 and February 1950 by the Government of India's Ministry of States, headed, incidentally, by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, under the authority of India's Surveyor General G.F.Heaney. Mr.Neville Maxwell also, the typical chronic liar that he is,  rushes to state that   the British had  in the mid-1930s  seized the Tibetan territory  which they re-named NEFA. any Tibetan control over part of the Assam Himalaya had always been imperialistic. The areas like Pemako or Mon-yul  in Arunachal Pradesh had always been considered by Tibetans to be beyond the Tibetan frontier. In 1954, one Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru who occupied the post of Prime Minister of India had, out of the blue,stealthily and surreptitiously published for the first time , a new map of Kashmir. In June 1954, Zhou Enlai, Prime Minister of China was in India, and in the October of the same year Jawaharlal Nehru went to China. In between, Nehru issued a memorandum which stated

inter alia that the frontier should be considered a firm and definite one , which is not open to discussion with any one. A system of check posts should be spread along this entire frontier. How did he go about doing this? In 1954, thus a new official map of India was published out of the blue, stealthily by Nehru, referred to here as the `Nehru Line' which dropped the legend undefined `and showed the northern border of Kashmir with a clear firm line. Nehru, in accordance with his Memorandum which stated that the frontier should be a firm and definite one, arbitrarily, and illegally depicted a border of Kashmir which ran well in the interior of Kashmir depicting only those areas of Kashmir which according to him was definitely part of Kashmir and beyond dispute as part of Kashmir. But did he in fact  practice what he preached? That is, did he implement the alleged reason or excuse for the publication of the spurious and bogus map of 1954 in the first place?   Pertinently , it is imperative to note that the Director of the Intelligence Bureau , B.N. Mullik had recommended the setting of new posts in Kashmir in 1959 ,at inter alia Sarigh Jilganang Kol and Palong Karpo which was discussed in January 1959 at a meeting in the external affairs Ministry in the presence of Gen Thimayya , Chief of the Army staff and the Foreign secretary. Both the Army Chief and the Foreign Secretary had opposed the proposal to open border posts at inter alia Sarigh Jilganang Kol though Sarigh Jilganang Kol was situate deep inside Kashmir even according to the notorious obnoxious and ab initio illegal  1954 ‘Nehru Line’ because according to them, the opening of the said posts would ‘provoke’ the Chinese , and create tension. The despicable attitude of the External Affairs Ministry was that “this part of the territory was useless to India. Even if the Chinese did not encroach into it, India could not make any use of it. The boundary had not been demarcated and had been shifted more than once by the British”.  So much for claim that India provoked the war! The  1954 Nehru Line is ab initio illegal and null and void and ultra vires the sacrosanct and supreme Constitution of India and non est in law and is waiting to be annulled! Of course, India had to throw the Chinese out of Indian territory. The very fact of their presence inside Indian territory was ipso facto declaration of war enough. Where Mr. Nehru was at fault was that he had cartographically illegally ceded vast areas in India in a manner not known to law and after solomning undertaking to defend the border areas which were comprised even inside the illegal Nehru Line which he himself had published in 1954 out of the blue, he did not do the needful and open border posts at inter alia Sarigh Jilganang Kol though Sarigh Jilganang Kol. So the very reason for perpetrating the notorious spurious and bogus 1954 Nehru Line on the nation of India was ignored making the alleged purpose and rationale behind the creation of the map infructuous and a lie that vitiates the entire procedure by fraud, deception and treachery! Mr. Nehru also in collusion with the Chinese acquiesced the illegal military occupation of Tibet and also ensured that the Tibetans could not publicise the facts pertaining to the illegal Chinese occupation of their country so that the international community would take cognizance of the same. Also, he did not ensure that the Indian Army was well prepared  when the Chinese attacked. Apropos his allegation that, "...people will see that political favouritism put the Army under incompetent leadership which blindly followed the Nehru government's provocative policy",  It is obvious that the Army was under incompetent leadership , not because the leadership purportedly "followed the Nehru government's provocative policy" but because incompetent persons like Gen Thimayya , Chief of the Army staff had objected and obstructed to any endeavour to defend what was left of India territory after the illegal cession of Indian territory in 1954 as well as the Chinese encroachment into Indian territory.  In fact, rather than being provocative, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru had all along been in collusion with the Chinese regime and working to the detriment of India. Rather than listen to the deceitful and treacherous lies, Indians should expose and denounce and repudiate the crimes committed against the people  of India. Nehru needs to be exposed for all his collusive acts against India. It is imperative to call a spade a spade! The Flight of the Dalai Lama is a book written by Noel Barber wherein he elucidates Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru's wickedest lies and his deceit and treachory and his wilful misuse of the Coonstitutional Post which he occupied in the Republic of India and worked to subserve the interests of China come what may, and unfortunately, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru was not brought to justice before his death. 

An antique map of East Turkistan showing the southernmost limits of the Country along the Kuen Lun range

Map of the Western Regions (held by the Chinese) appended to the Hsi-yu-tu-chih, compiled on the orders of Emperor Chien-lung in 1762. An English version of the map is also given. "The map makes clear that Sinkiang extended in the south only upto the Kuen Lun Range".The aforesaid map is reproduced in the Government of India Publication, viz. The Atlas of the Northern Frontier of India at Pg.20.

"An Orographical map of the Western Regions"

Arunachal Pradesh, an inalienable part of India

One has to understand the perverted mentality of an alien brutal military occupying power to appreciate the antics of China! I am referring to the recent expression of regret by a Chinese diplomat to the statement of External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee that Arunachal was a part of India. An occupying force that she is, China wants to appropriate as part of Tibet any territory except those that are intrinsically and inherently part of Tibet. She claims Arunachal Pradesh which is beyond the Tibetan Plateau and thus also not geographically a part of Tibet , as part of occupied Tibet but illegally and blatantly denies the fact that inter alia Altyn Tagh, Tsinghai, Tsang, Amdo and Kham, which are intrinsically and inherently part of Tibet, and also historically an inalienable part of Tibet and also geographically a part of Tibet, are parts of Tibet. This is because China wants to illegally retain as much of Tibet as possible even when Tibet eventually becomes independent in the future. Similarly China has clubbed occupied Aksai Chin to the south of the Sanju-La and Hindutash in Ladakh in Kashmir with East Turkistan and not with adjacent Tibet despite the cultural links between Kashmir and Tibet and the geographical contiguity of Rudokh  and Shang Shung in Maryul or Ladakh and adjoining Tibet, because they envisage that It will be Tibet that eventually first becomes independent ahead of East Turkistan and in their estimation, and scheme of things, they will be able perpetrate the occupation East Turkistan for a longer period of time! India too should reiterate that Khotan to the north of the Sanju-La and Hindu-tash Passes in the Kuen Lun range in Kashmir is historically part of India and demand the return of Khotan back to India.

If the Chinese have the audacity to claim Arunachal Pradesh, India should also vehemently reiterate that Khotan to the north of the Hindutash pass in the Kuen Lun range in Kashmir is historically part of India and demand the return of Khotan back to India. The horrible and outrageous antics of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi and J.N. Dixit in their effort to “clinch” a deal with the Chinese and “solve” the border issue gave me nightmares and cold sweat ,but luckily India was saved then from their impending “achievement” .


The whole of the so-called McMahon Line is illegal and null and void. The crux of the issue is that the so-called McMahon Line was demarcated deliberately along the foothills of the Assam Himalaya rather than on the watershed of the Assam Himalaya just because of the deceit and treacherous nature of the Colonial English and their  collusion with the Chinese. The whole McMahon Line except to the north east of  Pachakshiri is ab initio illegal and the international border of India with the  Sovereign States of Tibet and Burma is much further to the north on the border Passes and Peak comprising  inter alia Sharkha Leb La, Yarto Tra la, Druk La, Namcha Barwa Peak ,  Su La , Atakang La, Yuko, Juk  and Lagya on the Indo-Tibetan International Border and Zhasha Pass on the International border of India with Burma  and the Namcha Barwa Peak is actually on the International border of the two Sovereign states of India and Tibet.

The proud Nation of India should demand that the so-called border talks with China be called off. The same is a nullity, is ab initio illegal, under duress and coercion,ultra vires the Constitution of India, and null and void and any agreement with China will be illegal, and null and void and is clandestine and surreptitious, and is solely meant to serve the purpose of China and is based on subservience and will be repudiated by the proud people of India. The Government of India should reiterate the liberation of all occupied parts of Kashmir including India's beloved Aksai Chin and the Kuen Lun range in northern Kashmir wherein are situate Dafdar in the Taghdumbash Pamir area in northern Kashmir, Kukalang Pass north of Bazar Dara in Kanjut in Kashmir, Yangi Pass north of Kulanaldi in the Raskam area of Kanjut in Kashmir, Kilian including Khathaithum in Kashmir, Sanju-La north of Ali Nazar in Kashmir and Hindutash Pass north of Sumgal in Ladakh in north eastern Kashmir, now presently under Chinese illegal military occupation

But with the Government of India, subservient and absolutely bereft of Convictions and any motivation to protect the territorial integrity of India and with well dressed subservient Indian morons and buffoons purportedly on behalf of India holding farcical and ab initio illegal border talks with the Chinese which are null and void , Indians will have to wake up and only a veritable revolution can save India!

I warn that The so-called Border talks with China is only going to precipitate the mess and create a situation where Indians will have to undo the mess by denouncing and repudiating the so called agreement reached with China. I have already sent communications to the Prime Minister of India stating the aforesaid facts. I request all patriotic Indians to do the same. Jai Hind.

Survey of India

You should know that the Survey of India has been illegally depicting inter alia the border of Kashmir wrongly and depicting large of areas in Kashmir illegally as not part of India. At the time of the accession of the princely state of Kashmir to the rest of India, Kashmir extended to the water shed of the Kuen Lun range in the edge of the highlands of Kashmir, and also beyond. Nehru himself conceded this. To quote Nehru himself from his telegram dated 26 October, 1947 to the British Prime Minister, Clement Attlee, he says, "Kashmir's Northern frontiers, as you are aware, run in common with those of three countries, Afghanistan, `the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics' and `China' ". Also, Maharaja Hari Singh had in no uncertain terms unequivocally stated in his letter dated October 26, 1947 to Lord Mountbatten that, " Besides my State has a common boundary with the Soviet Republic and China. In their external relations the Dominions of India and Pakistan cannot ignore this fact".  The Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, 1956 in Section 4 under Part II under the caption "The State" reads, "The territory of the State shall comprise all the territories which on the fifteenth day of August, 1947, were under the sovereignty or suzerainty of the Ruler of the State".The same had been reiterated  by both Maharaja Hari Singh as well as Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru. 

 This is only possible only because inter alia Dafdar in the Taghdumbash Pamir in Kanjut is part of Kashmir. The territorial extent of the State of Kashmir is as stipulated in Entry 15 in the First Schedule of the Constitution of India. Entry 15 reads, “The territory which immediately before the commencement of this Constitution was comprised in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir”. Two maps, viz. The official maps attached to the White Papers published in July 1948 and February 1950 by the Government of India's Ministry of States, headed, incidentally, by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, under the authority of India's Surveyor General G.F.Heaney give them the legal status to determine the extent of the State of Kashmir as stipulated in Entry 15 in the First Schedule of the Constitution on India. The said official maps presented with the White Papers prove that the northern border of Kashmir with East Turkistan at the time of the accession of the state to the Union of India was on the Kuen Lun Range, the natural and historic border of Kashmir with neighbouring Trans-Kuen Lun State of East Turkistan.

Pertinently, it is imperative to note that areas shown in colour in the aforesaid maps includes areas which are illegally not depicted as part of Kashmir by the present office of the Surveyor General of India presently. Also pertinently, though only part of the 1948 map of Kashmir is shown in colour, the caption or legend Gilgit Agency is depicted well, extending to the areas of Kashmir not shown in colour, to the area to the east of 76 degrees East Longitude beyond the Aghail and Karakoram ranges and beyond the Raskam river within the area of Kanjut, near the Kuen lun range and Mariom and Taghdumbash Pamir, i.e. the area which at present is illegally not depicted as part of Kashmir by the Surveyer General of India , which unequivocally, and with out an iota of doubt proves that even those areas of Kashmir not shown in colour up to the Kuen Lun range are integral and inalienable parts of Kashmir. If there had been any apprehension or ambiguity about the territorial extent of Kashmir, then the captions or legends Gilgit Agency and Kashmir would definitely not have been shown extending beyond the area shown in colour. It is even explicitly admitted by the Government of India in its publication, viz., `Atlas of the northern frontiers of India', wherein it is stated in the map at page 20 that the British cartographers gave a dark shade for areas only where they had their jurisdiction and in the rest of India, only a lighter shade was used. The very same publication also portrays an ancient old Chinese map which depicts the southern boundary of East Turkistan with India along the Kuen Lun Range. But however, the Survey of India, hand in glove in collusion with the Chinese, illegally depicts the northern border of India illegally at the Mintaka and Khunjerab passes and not to the north of Dafdar and on the Kuen Lun range in northern Kashmir inter alia on the Kukalang north of Bazar Dara in Kanjut, Yangi north of Kulanaldi in Kanjut, Kilian including Khathaithum, Sanju and Hindutash passes in Ladakh northern Kashmir.The fact that the aforesaid 1948 map did not extend the colour wash to the whole of the state is irrelevant since the plethora of maps of Kashmir published before 1947 including inter alia, way back, the 1909 map of Kashmir titled the map of the "North West Frontier Province and Kashmir" from the Imperial Gazetteer of India, 1909, had depicted almost the whole of Kashmir till the undefined line just short of the border of Kashmir on the Kuen Lun range where there had not been a formal demarcation of the Water shed of the Kuen Lun range to enable the depiction of a defined border . Also, the map from the article, "On the Geographical Results of the Mission to Kashghar, under Sir T. Douglas Forsyth in 1873-74" by H. Trotter, Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London, Vol. 48. (1878), pp. 173-234, The Geographical Journal, Vol. 37, No. 3. (Mar., 1911), pp. 275-280, too depicted the areas of Kashmir not included in the colour wash in the aforesaid 1948 map till the undefined line just short of the border of Kashmir on the Kuen Lun range, and any extraneous ulterior motive imputed to the fact that the aforesaid 1948 map did not extend the colour wash to the whole of the province, by prejudiced persons with vested interests working in collusion to sub-serve a hidden anti- national agenda would be summarily exposed by this fact.

According to “The Journal of the Royal Geographic Society of London”, Volume 40 By Royal Geographical Society (Great Britain), “The Maharajah of Kashmir, it is believed, considered his territory to extend up to the Kilian range, north of Shadula, doubtless from the fact of having had a fort built there; but the last habitation now met with in his territory is at the head of the Nubra Valley,  in Ladak. The boundary line is given in the latest map of Turkistan as extending up to Kathaitum, in the Kilian Valley; but not only this valley, but the valleys of the Yarkand and Karakash rivers are frequented by the Kirghiz who all pay tribute to the ruler of Turkistan”! The stance of the author of this writeup in The Journal of the Royal Geographic Society of London is deceitful and treacherous and has to be contested.  The Kirghiz were nomads who were robbers who did belong to the area. They were busybodies and nomadic robbers who hailed from distant Kirghizstan and the Government of Kashmir had in exercise of its territorial sovereignty built a fort in the northern Kashmiri town of Shahidullah which was virtually on the southern flanks of the Kuen Lun Range in northern Kashmir to command the Kuen Lun  range  and to regulate and control these Kirghiz vagabond and criminal thugs, But it was one treacherous and deceitful Ney Elias who was British Joint Commissioner in Ladakh and spying on the Government of Kashmir who raised objections and successfully prevented the Government of Kashmir from exercising her right of sovereignty over that area in Kashmir. So the author of the write-up is clearly lying and suppressing and distorting facts. Also, the fact that the Raskam Tract and the Taghdumbash and Mariom Pamir was a part of Kanjut historically since time immemorial is  suppressed and not divulged  by the author of the write-up.

In 1954, Prime Minister

Jawaharlail Nehru had, out of the blue,stealthily and surreptitiously published for the first time , a new

map of Kashmir. In June 1954, Zhou Enlai, Prime Minister of China was in India, and in the October of the same year Jawaharlal Nehru went to China. In between, Nehru issued a memorandum which stated inter alia that the frontier should be considered a firm and definite one , which is not open to discussion with any one. A system of check posts should be spread along this entire frontier. How did he go about doing this? In 1954, thus a new official map of India was published out of the blue, stealthily by Nehru, referred to here as the `Nehru Line' which dropped the legend undefined `and showed the northern border of Kashmir with a clear firm line. Nehru, in accordance with his Memorandum which stated that the frontier should be a firm and definite one, arbitrarily, and illegally depicted an alleged border of Kashmir which ran well in the interior of Kashmir depicting even vast areas like inter alia Shahidullah which comprised part of the area with

the colour-wash as not a part of Kashmir and depicting only those areas of Kashmir which according to him was definitely part of Kashmir and beyond dispute, thus depicting large areas of Kashmir as not part of Kashmir, so as to make the border of Kashmir undisputed, and thus definite and firm, and leave no room for any future controversy. The fallacious logic and reasoning claimed and alleged by Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru was that the border should "be firm and definite one, which is not open to discussion with any one", but his dishonest intentions were soon to be laid bare eventually. That was the wicked and deceitful lie perpetrated by Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru for concocting the illegal 1954 "Nehru Line".  It is inevitable that the obnoxious Nehru Line which Nehru unilaterally and arbitrarily published for the first time in 1954 in accordance with his own perverted whims and fancies and is blatantly ultra vires the Constitution of India and has absolutely no legal sanctity, and is ab initio illegal, will be repudiated by the proud people of India.

Pertinently, it is imperative to note that the Director of the Intelligence Bureau , B.N. Mullik had recommended the setting of new posts in Kashmir in 1959 ,at inter alia Sarigh Jilganang Kol and Palong Karpo which was discussed in January 1959 at a meeting in the external affairs Ministry in the presence of Gen Thimayya , Chief of the Army staff and the Foreign secretary. Both the Army Chief and the Foreign Secretary had opposed the proposal to open border posts at inter alia Sarigh Jilganang Kol though Sarigh Jilganang Kol was situate deep inside Kashmir even according to the obnoxious conservative ‘Nehru Line’ because according to them, the opening of the said posts would ‘provoke’ the Chinese , and create tension. The attitude of the External Affairs Ministry (hear,hear) was that “this part of the territory was useless to India. Even if the Chinese did not encroach into it , India could not make any use of it . The boundary had not been demarcated and had been shifted more than once by the British”. (Mullik , The Chinese Betrayal, page 204)(The northern border of Kashmir with Khotan and East Turkistan continues to be in the Kuen Lun range see the map above which is an extract from the Map referred to in Article 9 of the Simla Convention between Great Britain, China and Tibet dated the 5th July 1914, depicting the southern border of Khotan and East Turkistan with Kashmir on the Kuen Lun range in the area of Hindutash in Kashmir as a red line. The map was initialled by the British representative and signed by the Tibetan and Chinese representatives. The latter two did not merely initial the Convention but signed it.)Thus Nehru and his fellow Anti-National coterie of bureaucrats did not have the conviction or care to have even an iota of intention to protect even the territory which was admittedly part of India by even the obnoxious, illegal, arbitrary, ingenious and unilaterally stealthily drawn ‘Nehru Line’ of 1954 which Nehru was mandated and duty bound to protect, sitting as he was in the chair of the Prime Minister of India, which in the first place was purportedly drawn well in the interior of Kashmir to only serve the purpose of ‘a firm and definite’ frontier ‘not open to discussion with any body’ as issued in Nehru’s memorandum of July 1954, and in 1958 we have the External Affairs Ministry illegally espousing the cause of the Chinese disputing that the area was intrinsically part of Kashmir by the statement ‘the boundary had not been demarcated and had been shifted more than once by the Britishers’. Also pertinently, Nehru by his denial of permission to open posts at inter alia Sarigh Jilganang Kol disobeyed and defied his own undertaking to the nation in his July 1954 memorandum wherein he had unequivocally stated that ‘a system of check posts should be spread along this entire frontier. More especially, we should have check posts in such places as might be considered disputed areas, which only shows how unscrupulous a person, he was. thus laying bare Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru's

deceitful and treacherous wicked intentions and mindset and the Chinese occupied the Cis-Kuen Lun

Tract in Kashmir extending from the Chhogori Peak K2 to Dafdar in the Taghdumbash Pamir and Mariom Pamir and the Kukalang, Yangi, Kilian, Sanju-la and Hindu-tash Passes in Kashmir and Aksai Chin areas in Kashmir and constructed the Pan-Kashmir Highway from Dafdar to Rudokh and continuing to Gartok and Tashigong in Guge passing through Dafdar, Bazar Dara, and Kulanaldi areas in Kanjut, and Shahidullah, Sumgal, Palong Karpo, Thaldat, Nischu and Rudokh areas in Ladakh. The very fact that the alleged reason for illegally surrendering vast integral and sacred areas of Kashmir was not abided and implemented makes the very reason and purpose for publishing the bogus and spurious Nehru Line mala fide and infructuous and vitiates the entire process as a colourful act, and procedure which culminated in the of creation of a notorious bogus and spurious ab initio illegal and null and void map and inflicting the same insulting spurious and bogus map on the blissfully oblivious Nation of India and the vitiating of the same and the denunciation and repudiation of this Criminal act of Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru is inevitable and just waiting to happen! A view of The map published way back  in 1885 by Edward Stanford, Stanford's Geographical Establishment, London portrays the area comprising much of Kashmir including the valley of the Kara kash in the Aksai Chin in Ladakh to the Kilian, Sanju-la, Hindu-tash and Yangi Passes in Ladakh in the Kuen Lun range in northern Ladakh up to the Khathaitum in the Kilian Valley in northern Ladakh as a part of Kashmir.

A view of the adjacent pre- 1947 Survey of India map ( See map in the left ) would reveal that the legend “undefined” , is depicted in the vicinity of 37 N.latitude 76 E. longitude not on the Raskam river but well beyond (to the north of ) the Raskam river in Kanjut in Kashmir just short of the watershed of the Kuen Lun Range in Kashmir. (So much for persons like Mr. Noorani and his lot) So If Mr. Nehru had the interests of our nation in his heart and really wanted a firm and definite border the only thing that he was logically expected to do was to do was to depict the border to the north of Dafdar and on the watershed of the Kuen Lun range on Kukalang Pass to the north of Bazardara in Kanjut , Yangi Pass north of Kulanaldi in Kanjut , and Sanju and Hindutash passes in Ladakh. What right did he have to as per his whims and fancies and in consonance with his mindset to illegally draw the Nehru line on inter alia the Khunjareb, Mintaka and Karakoram passes deep in the interior of Kashmir in central Kashmir? The whole of the Nehru line is ab initio illegal and null and void. In any other country such an atrocious act would have resulted in an outroar and revolution. But our nation was pathetically oblivious of this criminal act and Mr. Nehru could get away with it! The only solace now for the proud people of India is that the obnoxious Nehru line is so bereft of legal sanctity, and is ab initio illegal, and null and void and is awaiting repudiation and consequential denunciation of this wicked act of Mr. Nehru. Now the Government of India is covertly illegaly conspiring with the Chinese to compromise even this area within the so called frontier which was meant to be considered a firm and definite one, not open to discussion with any one. If China has the audacity to claim Arunachal Pradesh which is situate beyond the edges of the Plateau of Tibet, then India should also claim Khotan which is also geographically similarly placed and is beyond the edge of the highlands of Kashmir at Hindutash in Kashmir which is the southern border of Khotan. If China is claiming vast alienable and integral parts of Kashmir like inter alia the Aksai Chin, Raskam, Shimshal and Shaksgam valleys in Kashmir, it is tantamount to claiming the Karakoram range which is the interior main watershed in the highlands of Kashmir, and India should then claim the Nyenchen Thanglha range which is the interior main watershed in the Plateau of Tibet as the border of India. Only then would the so called border talks be meaningful and make some sense, and India not subservient. If the Chinese are recognising Sikkim which is predominantly beyond the edge of the Plateau of Tibet as a part of India, India should reciprocate and recognise a similarly geographically placed Chinese territory which is beyond the edge of the Plateau of Tibet like Gansu Proper on the Sino-Tibetan International border as part of China. On the other hand the subservient Indian government has surreptitiously and illegally recognised occupied Tibet, a vast occupied country as a mere province in China purportedly in exchange of the alleged Chinese recognition of Sikkim one of the numerous former princely states in India as part of India. India should follow up on the Dalai Lama's statement that India has more sovereignty over Tibet than does China. It is inevitable that India will sooner or later, denounce and repudiate Nehru's betrayal of Tibet and recognise Tibet as an independent  sovereign Country.
