evidence: In so far as the Central Sector is concerned, a perfect watershed line exists, that besides separating ethnic aspects, has also at many places become a dividing line even to the extent of separating fauna & flora on either side. Here, no territorial dispute existed between India & Tibet in the past. In Spiti & Shipki La ( Himachal Pradesh ), there was no dispute, & as far as Barahoti in Uttarakhand is concerned, the only controversy that existed was whether Tibetan Officials could come into Indian territory for taxation of their traders. The same was the issue in the Nilang-Jadhang area (Uttarakhand).These matters had been discussed between the Indian & Tibetan Officials in 1890, 1914 and 1926. The Barahoti question was also discussed between Indian & Chinese Officials in 1958 & a partial agreement reached. China knows today that most of the area disputed by it falls in actual control of India. Should there be a desire on part of the Chinese to settle these issues reasonably, these controversies could be solved easily.
