This boundary runs roughly along the watershed between the Brahmaputra and Ayeyarwady [Irrawaddy].
It passes through thickly forested regions, with Mizo Hills, Manipur, and Nagaland on the Indian side and Chin Hills, Naga Hills, and Kachin State on the Myanmar side.
India and Sri Lanka are separated by a narrow and shallow sea called the Palk Strait.
Dhanushkodi on the Tamil Nadu coast in India is only 32 km away from Talaimanar in the Jaffna Peninsula in Sri Lanka. These two points are joined by a group of islets forming Adam’s Bridge.
Though peace has largely prevailed concerning the Indo-Sri Lanka border, there were tensions over the ownership of Kachchatheevu Island in the Palk Strait. It was given by India to Sri Lanka in 1974.
