A.6. Consequences Of Poor Border Management
The consequences of poor border management in India can be severe and far-reaching. Some of the consequences are:
|
Security Threats |
Poor border management can lead to security threats like terrorism, smuggling, illegal immigration, and other criminal activities. These security threats can have a significant impact on the safety and well-being of the people living in the border areas and the country as a whole. The Mumbai 2008 attack is one example of it. |
|
Border Conflicts |
Poor border management can lead to border conflicts with neighboring countries, leading to tensions, disputes, and even wars. These conflicts can have a severe impact on the economy, social fabric, and political stability of the country. |
|
Loss of Territory |
Poor border management can result in the loss of territory to neighboring countries. This can happen through illegal occupation or annexation, as seen in the case of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and China’s annexation of Aksai Chin. |
|
Economic Losses |
Poor border management can lead to economic losses due to smuggling, illegal trade, and disruption of trade routes. This can impact the livelihoods of people living in the border areas and the country’s overall economy. |
