Question

Which of the following is not an issue of dispute between India and China?

• A. Doklam
• B. Galwan valley
• C. Lipulekh pass
• D. Pangong-Tso

Hint:

LAC hotspots with China: Galwan, Pangong, Depsang, Doklam (tri-junction). Lipulekh controversy is mainly India–Nepal.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify known India–China friction points.
Galwan Valley and Pangong Tso (Ladakh) have seen recent face-offs; Doklam is a tri-junction area (India–Bhutan–China) with India and China in standoff (2017).
Step 2: Examine Lipulekh.
Lipulekh Pass lies near the India–Nepal–China tri-junction. The major, active dispute over Lipulekh/Kalapani–Limpiyadhura is primarily India–Nepal. India–China disputes focus elsewhere along the LAC.
Step 3: Conclude.
\[ \boxed{\text{Lipulekh Pass (Option C) is not a principal India–China dispute point.}} \]
