Group members: Varun Sawant, Ojasav Chitranshi, Sukhvir Singh

This paper examines the dispute between China and India over their border. It dives into the
geographical location and the specific hotspots of the dispute along the border It assesses that
the possibility of a major Sino‐Indian conflict over the border is remote, notwithstanding the
possibility of limited skirmishes along the border. The paper also examines the recent
developments in areas of politics and the various bilateral events between India and China.
On this basis, it argues that the current strategic stalemate along the Himalayan border will
continue to result in a relatively stable but tense security status quo. However, it also implies
that an ongoing, seemingly intractable dispute between the two most populated countries in
the world is not conducive to long term regional stability.
