    Because it’s part of Tibet? Idk, why does India need to claim it? Why does India need to own Assam for that matter? Why can’t Bangladesh have it? Or be its own state like Nepal or Bhutan? Historical claims are just like that, they’re not objective and they often overlap. Who’s to say who’s right and who’s wrong?

      Nope, it’s part of India. Look at a globe.

      and yea, anyone can claim anything. But if you continue to claim the river that feeds 600 million people, expect not to be cooperated with

          look at a globe, cracker

          the river does not originate in Tibet, 90% of it originates in the mountains of Arunachal

            You are a dumbass. Jesus. The upper tract is tsangpo. Only breaking thorough arunachal as siang and then meeting dibang and lohit from assam Brahmaputra is formed. Then further it would go on to meghna.

            Maybe you should look at a map

            look at a globe cracker

                  you literally can’t keep track of the argument lmao. done

                  the original argument was “losing arunachal = water insecurity”

                  you countered with “uhhh the tsangpo is acktshyually in Tibet” and ignored the massive amounts of water (snow) from Arunachal itself

                  somehow you can’t admit that you’re wrong, or you can’t keep track of what was said 4 comments ago

                  Hint: wanna actually disprove what I said? look at the volume flow rates for all those rivers on your map, and show me that a large amount of it originates from before it hits Arunachal

                    I was not even arguing dumb mf. That was you. You are the daft mf who keeps saying how taking arunachal will help china control Brahmaputra. Which is dumb af considering they can divert the upper stream. You on the other hand keep insisting that arunachal is the focal point where the river starts and therefore its being grabbed by china.

                    Now you are just saying uhhh you can’t remember what was said, Oh I do.

                    Idc care to disprove to obtuse mf who doesn’t understand shit.

                    Keep dreaming. No ones genuinely buys that siang just pops out arunachal. Not even India or Bangladesh. That’s why the outcry is still about diverting tsangpo with dams as china builds em. You keep living in whatever delusion that you got going.

        Well it depends whose globe i look at doesn’t it? One side says one thing the other says another.

        The point i was making is that most of the lines on the map that we call borders are really arbitrary and the arguments why they should be one way and not the other depend on your point of view. And the border between India and China is especially dubious in legitimacy because it was drawn by the British, and at a time when one of these two countries didn’t even exist/was a colony and the other was too weak to defend its sovereign interests and territory.

        And i don’t understand the point you’re making about rivers.

          Yes. Look at a globe and then touch the relief textures. Arunachal is part of the Indian continental landmass, which is very very clearly defined by the Himalayas, Hindu Kush, and Arakan mountains

          Simple!

            Ok but we’re talking about countries not geographical regions. You do know there’s a difference between the country called India and the Indian subcontinent, right? There are more countries on the subcontinent than just India.

            Countries and their borders are political constructs. You are of course free to think that a country should have its border on this or that geographical feature like a river or a mountain range, but reality is often more messy than that.

            Geography is just one of many considerations that factor into where borders between two countries ultimately end up, there’s all sorts of political factors like history, demography, economic and strategic importance, etc.

            Which is exactly why China only claims it and doesn’t hold it. They had occupied all of it way back in the 62 war and would’ve held on to it if it made sense. At this point, the claim is just a pressure tactic against an India that regularly takes potshots at China to impress US.
