    Its actually quite more complicated then that overtime. This is due to how the contintental plates are and the direction each plate is going. Currently, the - plate that India is on is essentially ramming itself into china, so overtime the land mass sinks or goes up (why the himelayean mountains are there) and the effectove land gets smaller, so the question becomes whose land is it.

    To put a more picture but not realistic setting into thought, pretend there was an earthquake that pancaked two houses together, both houses with half of their house destroyed and kinda melded together. Who owns the land the houses are on. (And it stays an ongoing problem overtime, because the two houses continue to get smashed together)

      Well thank god that tectonic movement is slow as shit for it to not matter in the current time frame.

        Yeah in a lifetime, a decision wouldnt matter. It would take a long period in time where it would eventually matter, in assumption both countries still exist in that window.
