A nice lil' thread by @TIinExile on the land called as "Aksai Chin" currently under illegal occupation of PRC.
'Ladakhis & Tibetans called it by the Sanskrit name "Gosthana"(=place of the cows).'
For folks trending Aksai India, pls use this name-> Gosthanahttps://t.co/NN0nXkOF6d— Ram Gopal (@ramgopaldass_77) June 18, 2020
