  ABSTRACT: The Nehru Government asserted that all the outstanding problems between China and India had been settled by Sino-Indian Agreement concluded in 1954.However, border disputes between the two countries had not been mentioned in this Agreement, no border issues were raised during the time of negotiations for this Agreement.Therefore, according to the Nehru Government, there were no border disputes between the two countries.In fact, this explanation to the Agreement of 1954, as is mentioned above, was fabricated deliberately by the Nehru government on the purpose of its unilateralism and diplomatic strategy concerning the Sino-Indian boundary issues.The intention of the Nehru government was to impose on China its unilateral position of the boundary issues, and to legalize its occupation of the disputed areas south of the illegal McMahon Line.
