      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

            Yeah right they will take over the river of which the upper stream is already in tibet.

            look at a globe, cracker

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

                    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

          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.
