South Tibet

South Tibet (Chinese: Zàngnán, 藏南) is a Chinese name for a geographic area in Eastern Himalayas that is the focus of border dispute between the Government of India and China. China makes claims on Arunachal Pradesh (the Indian name), because of a disagreement on whether the Simla Convention was legitimate. The people of the area are incredibly diverse with many indigenous tribes, ethnicities, cultures, languages & religions that share similarities with other North-East Indian states as well as neighbouring Tibet, which used to be a independent kingdom with strong economic/cultural ties with both China and India before Chinese annexation.
