Sino Indian Border dispute dates from 14 London a the Border flare up Between communist China arid India dramatized How the two asian giants have drifted apart after a 10-year honeymoon. Military clashes however minor had seemed highly improbable while both countries were committed under a political Accord to resolve their disputes peacefully. But the attack by red chinese troops on Indian Border guards provides a new twist to an old quarrel. Piping and new Delhi both inherited a troublesome Border prob Lem reaching Back into the Days before world War i. Not Only the chinese reds but their nationalist Kinsmen of Long ago refused to recognize the so called Mcmahon line drawn As the Frontier Between India and Tibet at the 1914 Simla conference. The status and exact whereabouts of this Mcmahon line impart of the problem plaguing piping and new Delhi today. It runs 2,000 Miles from the Northeast Corner of Bhutan to the Northern Corner of Burma. Broadly it is a line that officially is described As following the Crest of the Himalaya Moun Tain  officials in London said at some Points the distance be tween the line and civilization is up to 200 Miles in depth. Even for Friendly countries this would be a difficult Frontier prob Lem to have to live with. For the Pushy chinese reds it provides an Ever present temptation for adventures. On their maps the chinese reds consistently show Border regions claimed by India to be part of China. The reason goes Back to the Sim la conference attended by Britaina the ruling Power of India Tibet which then was considered in dependent and China. Britain recognized the Mcmahon line and so did Tibet. But China never ratified the Simla Accord. When India got her Independence in 1948, she formally accepted the Mcmahon line As her northernmost Frontier. But still the chinese reds like their predecessors did not do so. The setting for the latest flare up of tension in the North East Frontier Agency Nefa is partly disputed territory. Until a few years ago the head quarters town of twang in fifa was under tibetan control. Today Many nations recognize Tibet to be an autonomous part of  itself was Cut off from its Parent state of Assam by India for administrative reasons. It was put under the control of the external affairs department in Stead of India s Home  it is under Indian army control. British authorities in London who have a lot of hard won experience in those parts which they used to run would make no offi Cial comment but said they Felt the Indian and red chinese governments could quite easily Settle the problem unless some totally unexpected development arises to further Worsen relations of the two countries.
