Lol never realized china borders with india three fuckjng times until now
Not an accident! British Raj was very valuable to the British not only for the labour & resources of the Raj itself, but also its proximity to China. Most Sino-Indian border conflicts today are based off this.
#the jammu/kashmir conflict is also heavily influenced by powerplays of the british raj#even beyond the 'splitting the region in the first place' thing#jammu kashmir & aksai chin are basically the same territorial conflict in a lot of ways#both go back to gulab singh & his principality devolving into a sikh puppet state to the raj after defeat
