మెయిన్స్
GS-II (India and neighbours): China's refusal to recognise the Ladakh UT and its objection to 28 named locations challenges India's territorial sovereignty. India's response rests on the 2019 Reorganisation Act and the position that Ladakh is an integral part of the country. The implication is continued friction in the border talks; the way forward is firm assertion of sovereignty combined with sustained diplomatic and military engagement.
