China calls Arunachal as "Southern Tibet", if India is pushed too far India may have to withdraw recognition of Tibet as Chinese territory-- problem solved.

"Nagaland", "Mizoram", "Zang Nan", "Sikkim" .... these are ALL not Indians, the people are NOT Indian, the culture is not Indian.

Pakistanis support Chinese claim over Arunchal Pradesh
I'm not sure if India ever officially recognize Chinese Tibet.
Show me a link if you can find.
Now I'm pretty positive that India (i.e. the ruling elites) NEVER recognized Chinese Tibet in SPIRIT. It has always wanted Tibet to be a buffer, and also more aligned with India. (like Nepal) -
That, I think, is the root karma of the badness between the 2 ancient powers.
Frankly, I don't think China cares about India's recognition.
Britain has made its stance clear. China only cares about US stance, somewhat.
> withdraw recognition....- problem solved
and the "solution" might come in the form of some big dams up there. You might want to look up north from time to time and check your water pressure
fairly certain that instead of solving program this will generate more problems. not the least of which includes the withdrawal all diplomatic relations(and 99.9% chance all economic/other relations too). this then opens the door to a whole list of things that could happen.
Pakistanis support Chinese claim over Arunchal Pradesh
Ladakh is a region of Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost state of the Republic of India.
( A pro-India website).After King Tri Ralpachen of the Tubo Dynasty in Central Tibet was murdered, his older brother Langdarma (born approx. 803) succeeded the throne and initiated what has come to be well-known as the “Dark Age,” i.e., the extensive anti-Buddhist persecution in Tibet. The Dharma Fellowship writes: “What has not been sufficiently emphasized is the coincidence of Langdarma’s persecutions with the occurrence in neighbouring China of a strenuous Confucian purge of Buddhism under the reign of Emperor Wu-Tsung. Thus throughout the huge area consisting of most of Central Asia, China, and Tibet, for a few but nevertheless very disastrous number of years, monasteries were closed, books were burned, and temples were sealed up. The following eras created a void into which obscure and unaccounted for doctrines could be discovered.”8 Langdarma only reigned for six years (838-842) but left Buddhism shattered by the time a Buddhist monk named Lhalung Palkyi Dorje assassinated him.9
Langdarma left behind a jealous queen and a terrified and forlorn mistress. The queen was childless while her rival had a son, so there was a struggle for the throne. The petrified mistress left the palace lit both day and night to protect her son, whose name was therefore Öd Sung, which means “Protected by Light.” The jealous and ambitious queen realized that it wasn’t possible to kill Öd Sung, so she snatched an infant from a relative and told everyone that the child was the posthumous son of Langdarma. Hoping he would inherit the kingdom, the queen named him Yumten, meaning “Relying on the Mother.” Yumten turned Öd Sung into a public disgrace. Öd Sung understood that his father’s persecution of Buddhism had brought the hearts of the people against his family name, so he restored many Buddhist shrines, while Yumten followed in the footsteps of his wicked uncle. People in the region of Kham in East Tibet and Yarlung in Central Tibet rebelled against the infamy and as a result Tibet was disunited into separate states. Hostility between the families of Öd Sung and Yumten ruled the day, and Yumten’s sons managed to kill Öd Sung’s son, whose name was Palkhortsen. Jide Nyimagon and Tashi Tsepal, Palkortsen’s two sons, fled from Lhasa to Ngari in West Tibet. Jide Nyimagon fled to Maryul and joined forces with the tribal chief Tashitsen of the Thi Dyanasty there by marrying his daughter. She had three sons, Paldegon, Tashigon, and Detsugon. When they came of age, Jide Nyimagon divided his kingdom among his three sons: Paldegon received Maryul (Ladakh), Tashigon received the area around Mt. Sangpo (Zanskar and Spiti), and Detsugon received the rocky region of Guge, Mt. Kailash being its capital. These districts became known as the “Three Gons,” or “the region of water, the region of mountains, and the region of grasslands.”10

LADAKHI LETTER OF AGREEMENT
1842
Translations of the original letters written in Tibetan
Shri Khalsaji Apsarani Shri Maharajah; Lhasa representative Kalon Surkhang; investigator Dapon Peshi, commander of forces; Balana, the representative of Gulam Kahandin; and the interpreter Amir Hah, have written this letter after sitting together. We have agreed that we have no ill-feelings because of the past war. The two kings will henceforth remain friends forever. The relationship between Maharajah Gulab Singh of Kashmir and the Lama Guru of Lhasa (Dalai Lama) is now established. The Maharajah Sahib, with God (Kunchok) as his witness, promises to recognise ancient boundaries, which should be looked after by each side without resorting to warfare. When the descendants of the early kings, who fled from Ladakh to Tibet, now return they will not be stopped by Shri Maharajah. Trade between Ladakh and Tibet will continue as usual. Tibetan government traders coming into Ladakh will receive free transport and accommodations as before, and the Ladakhi envoy will, in turn, receive the same facilities in Lhasa. The Ladakhis take an oath before God (Kunchok) that they will not intrigue or create new troubles in Tibetan territory. We have agreed, with God as witness, that Shri Maharajah Sahib and the Lama Guru of Lhasa will live together as members of the same household. We have written the above on the second of Assura, Sambhat 1899 (17 September 1842).
Sealed by the Wazir, Dewan, Balana, and Amir Shah.
Tibetan Letter of Agreement, 1842
This agreement is made in the interests of the friendship between the Lhasa authorities and Shri Maharajah Sahib and Maharajah Gulab Singh. On the thirteenth day of the eighth month of the Water-Tiger year (September 17, 1842), the Lhasa representative Kalon Surkang, investigator Dapon Peshi, Shri Raja Sahib, sat together amicably with Kunchok (God) as witness. This document has been drawn up to ensure the lasting friendship of the Tibetans and the Ladakhis. We have agreed not to harm each other in any way, and to look after the interests of our own territories. We agree to continue trading in tea and cloth on the same terms as in the past, and will not harm Ladakhi traders coming into Tibet. If any of our subjects stray into your country, they should not be protected. We will forget past differences between the Lhasa authority and Shri Maharajah. The agreement arrived at today will remain firmly established forever. Kunchok (God), Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarowar, and Khochag Jowo have been called as witnesses to this treaty.
Sealed by Kalon Surkhang and Dapon Peshi
