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 Pakistan. 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.
