Dre - I understand it is an offence in India to publish a map that shows those areas as anything else but Indian - and it's written in the constitution that they can't give any of the country away. UK & US publishers often just colour it as Indian and mark the Indian claim line as "disputed boundary" - otherwise the books are liable to be seized and pulped. I assume the same applies in China.
