If you find errors, please make your own fork, edit the concerned file with a GIS software and file a pull request. However, please consider that the primary purpose of this repository is to facilitate mapping historical regions. I do understand that territorial disputes exist today with China, Pakistan and Nepal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disputed_territories_of_India
A solution could be to draw the borders of the India polygon as perceived / recognized by the Indian governement, leaving the polygons of the surrounding intact (i.e. as perceived by the governments of those countries). In this manner, overlaps could help to identify disputed regions. I hope theses issues can be solved in a diplomatic manner, like they have been with Bangladesh in 2015 and Sri Lanka in 1974.
