[edit] Explanation of disputed boundaries

Boundary of Indian claim : The Indian claims as legally theirs, but is not accepted by China and Pakistan.
Line of Control : The defacto administrative boundary recognised by the international community. This UN ceasefire Line is considered as a temporary solution to an ongoing conflict since the departure of the British Raj.

[edit] Borders of disputed regions

The extent of the former territory of the British Indian Empire, seceeded by Republic of India depicted on this map may not be accepted by most countries as legal due to ongoing border disputes:

The northern Himalayan region of the disputed territory w:Indian occupied Kashmir is claimed by India including (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) and the Chinese Occupied territory of (Ladakh plateau). It is currently divided between all three countries since 1972. See also Line of Control and Line of Actual Control.
Siachen glacier (shown white) is an actively contested region between India and Pakistani. At present the region is in control of India since 1984.
The north eastern territory of Arunachal Pradesh is almost entirely claimed by China as part of its Tibetan territory.

Minor areas of eastern Kashmir's Ladakh division, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on the Chinese frontier are claimed by China. These areas are under Indian control.
A small area of Uttarakhand adjoining the Nepal border along the Sarda river is disputed between the two countries.

The capital of en:Assam is en:Dispur and not en:Guwahati
~~The Romanization/pinyin of Tibet is not Xijang, it is Xizang.~~ (fixed)
National Highway 1C should be National Highway 1B. Please check here en:National Highway 1 (India). You will find the highway at 72 Deg N / 32 Deg W near Jammu City in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. National Highway 1B starts just above Jammu City and goes towards Vaishno Devi. Please refer here for help.

There is an error saying the SVG source is invalid.
The symbols used are large, making it hard to see the population density near capital cities.
Is the large red patch in the Lakshadweep Islands intentional?
