What
options does India have on the LAC with China?
Without getting into the statics, let us examine how

power. Not only along the LAC but even in the South China Sea the domination of
China is visible.

gradually nibbling at the LAC towards positions which it perceives as its own
territory. These have not been authenticated on ground nor on maps. The following maps will reveal how the LAC has
shifted since 1962.
