[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 such as US and UK, but not by the Kashmiris, China and Pakistan. 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 only by Hindu India including (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) and the Chinese 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 the inhabitants of the region under Pakistani administration. At present the region is in control of the Indian Army since 1984.
The north eastern disputed territory of South Tibet is almost entirely claimed by China as part of its Tibetan territory. The occupied area organised as a so-called state is recognised as a part of India by New Delhi only, except China. See also McMahon Line.

Borders of some minor disputed areas have been omitted for the sake of simplicity:

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.

[edit] Internal borders

The borders of the state of Meghalaya, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh is shown as interpreted from the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971, but has yet to be verified.

[edit] Territorial Waters

The limit of the territorial waters of India extends to twelve nautical miles measured from the appropriate baseline. See this for more information.

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?
