China upset over naming the peak in Arunachal after Dalai Lama, know what it is claiming

New Delhi : China has been irritated by the naming of a mountain peak in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh after the Dalai Lama. An Indian mountaineering team recently named an unnamed peak in the Tawang region of Arunachal Pradesh after the Sixth Dalai Lama. China is angry about this. It termed it an illegal operation in ‘Chinese territory’. A team of 15 climbers from the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIAMS) in Dirang had successfully climbed the peak last Saturday. The team named it ‘Tsangyang Gyatso Peak’ in honor of the sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso (17th-18th century AD), who was born in Tawang.

what is china saying

Despite ‘some agreement’ between China and India on disengagement of troops along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh, Beijing has once again reiterated its territorial claim on Arunachal Pradesh. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Thursday expressed displeasure over a group of Indian mountaineers naming a previously unknown peak in the state after the 6th Dalai Lama. Speaking at a media briefing in Beijing, he/she said India’s establishment of so-called ‘Arunachal Pradesh’ in Chinese territory is illegal and meaningless.

What is India’s stance?

Although the military sends many adventure expeditions, many see it as a dual-purpose effort. It also aims to reject China’s claims on Arunachal Pradesh. China insists on calling the Indian state ‘Zangnan’. The Chinese also did not like naming the peak after the Sixth Dalai Lama. While a Defense Ministry statement said the choice of the name of the Sixth Dalai Lama is a tribute to his/her timeless wisdom and his/her profound contributions to the Monpa community and beyond, this seems to be troubling people.

Campaign completed in 15 days

The expedition team led by NIMAS Director Colonel Ranveer Singh Jamwal took 15 days to conquer the 6,383 meter high peak. According to Defense Public Relations Officer Lieutenant Colonel M Rawat, this peak was technically one of the most challenging and unknown peaks in the region. It was conquered after ‘enormous challenges including huge walls of ice, dangerous crevasses and a two kilometer long glacier’.
