The purpose of the article is to (not test, but) explore the hypothesis that the People’s Republic of China (1949 to date), hereinafter China, conjured up its narrative on the territorial claim on the Indian border. The body of evidence put together for the purpose has been obtained mainly from the exchanges between India and China on the boundary question between the late 1950s and mid-1960s and the material in respect of the Tibet (Simla) Conference (1913–14). The exploration reaffirms preponderance of evidence that exists to conclude that China conjured up its narrative on the territorial claim on the Indian border.
