McMahon Line

The McMahon Line is the boundary line between India and China in the northeastern Himalayas, specifically in Arunachal Pradesh. It was established in 1914 during negotiations between Britain and Tibet, serving as a territorial boundary. The line is recognized by India as the official border, but China disputes it, claiming parts of Arunachal Pradesh as its own territory. The disagreement over this boundary has contributed to ongoing tensions between the two countries. Essentially, the McMahon Line is a demarcation that defines where India’s territory ends and Chinese territory begins in this region.
