Aksai Chin Claim: The Johnson Line

The question asks to identify the border line that supports India's claim over Aksai Chin.

  • Johnson Line: This historical boundary proposal from the 1860s placed the Aksai Chin region within the territory of British India. It is frequently cited as the basis for India's claim.
  • Radcliffe Line: This line demarcates the border between India and Pakistan, established during the partition in 1947. It is not relevant to the Aksai Chin dispute.
  • McMahon Line: This line defines the eastern border between India and Tibet (now China), primarily affecting areas like Arunachal Pradesh. It does not relate to Aksai Chin in the west.
  • MacDonald Line: While related to the western border discussions, the Johnson line is the specific demarcation more directly associated with India's claim over Aksai Chin.

Based on historical context, the Johnson line is the demarcation that supports India's claim to Aksai Chin.
