what is diffrent between line of control and border?

Answer 1

border is hit..but line of control is not

Answer 2

They both basically indicate the edge of some sovereign's territory. Internationally, terms like "line of control" are used when the exact line on which the territories are to be divided is in dispute or when the parties are otherwise unable or unwilling to agree on a permanent border. A LOC or similar instrument permits the parties to establish temporary zones of control while final borders are worked towards. This is meant to keep the two sides from clashing unnecessarily due to ambiguities in the frontier while the final borders are being determined.

Answer 3

A border is the official demarcation of a state or country, ideally that should also be the Line of control. But Line of control is the actual physical status on the ground. India's border includes the whole of Kashmir, But Pakistan occupies a part of it. The line demarcating the actual postion of pakistan's occupation is Line of Control.

Answer 4

LOC is Line OF Control,that is an imaginery line between to countries formed by man.while border is physical boundary of a place like country,city,state etc....

Answer 5

Border means Official dividing lines between countries and/or states.

The term 'Line of Control' has been referred in Kashmir's context. India claims whole of Kashmir as her Territory and official map of India shows whole of Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh Region as one State 'Jammu & Kashmir'. But just after independence, Western part of Kashmir has been under the control of Pakistan. So, in Kashmir a Line of Control exists between India and Pakistan which divides Kashmir into two parts one into Pakistan controlled Kashmir and other into Indian controlled Kashmir. Armies of both the countries are deputed on the either side of this 'temperory' border termed as LINE OF CONTROL.

It is not really agreed or accepted by other countries, you are claiming that area with power and force and if you were not doing that then you will have a new LOC because the country you are fighting with to claim that certain area by forcer can push you back and thus a new LOC will be created.

Ahead of his week-end visit to India, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Thursday indicated that he favoured converting the Line of Control as a "soft border" but would not accept it as a permanent border for a final solution to the Kashmir problem.

After the start of the bus service across the LoC, Pakistan would like to see more routes across the territory opened. "That really is the first step towards converting it into a soft border," he said in an interview to Reuters telecast by Indian channels.

Musharraf, who arrives on Saturday on a three-day visit, said he had "made very clear to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that we cannot accept the LoC to be the final solution. We have to find an out-of-box solution".

In an interview to 'Outlook' magazine, External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh said there was no question of taking Pakistan "off the hook on cross-border terrorism" and that it would not be prudent to set any time-frame for resolution of the Kashmir imbroglio.

Musharraf, who is scheduled to hold talks with Singh on Saturday, said he was going to India in a "very harmonious and friendly environment" unlike his last visit in 2001 for the Agra Summit when the atmosphere was "tense" and was "fairly optimistic" that the Kashmir issue could be resolved.

Asked whether he felt the peace process was irreversible, he said a series of CBMs have done a great deal to improve the mood. "If you see people to people contacts; the business community; the media; the cultural interaction; even the politicians coming here exchanging from this side and going on that side, it is fairly irreversible, I would say.

He said he was fairly optimistic about a solution to the Kashmir issue "because I see Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to be a sincere person and wanting to come to a resolution of this dispute."

National Security Advisor MK Narayanan said the Prime Minister put forward proposals relating to fresh confidence building measures, including more bus services.

He said the Prime Minister was willing to meet the Hurriyat leaders but parried a query whether the government would give permission to them to go to Pakistan.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid M Kasuri said a "constructive" approach by the two leaders, as seen in their meeting in New York last year, could help in making progress on the Kashmir issue.
