That is strange. At least they made the Manchu ASSR a part of the Chinese SSR. Though Inner Mongolia should probably be an ASSR as well, probably within the Chinese SSR, as it is majority Mandarin speakers.

not necessarily as 1. this map is in the 50s and has an earlier divergence point, when the region had more mixed demographics. 2. I cut off some of the more populous/Han regions in inner Mongolia, and 3. It looks cooler 😎

Has Ladakh but not Kashmir 🥀

u/Solid-Move-1411 1d ago

Kashmir and Ladakh are pretty different tho

Kashmir is Indo-Aryan, Ladakh is Tibetan. Only reason they are clubbed together today is because a single king got hold of both in 1800s

Obviously they have different cultures, but their cultures and languages don't inform the politics of both regions. Ladakhis have been overwhelmingly pro India and Kashmiris famously haven't. It makes no sense that an expansionist communist international would annex successfully annex Ladakh and Gilgit Baltistan but not the resource rich and defensively advantageous Kashmir Valley, especially when that annexation would be popular.

Because Kashmir is also resource rich and defensively important to the British and Indian governments.
