The Indian Army released the list of the 20 soldiers who were killed in the violent clashes with Chinese troops late Monday night in Ladakh's Galwan Valley.
India hasn’t responded to China’s statement even as the external affairs minister, defence minister, CDS Rawat and three service chiefs held an emergency meet.
New Delhi and Beijing are believed to be holding 'regular talks' through diplomatic channels to resolve the ongoing military standoff at the LAC in Ladakh.
Army has proposed to change the way volunteers are selected and trained for special forces under Parachute Regiment, wants a maximum of 500 personnel trained in every course.
India’s 14 Corps Commander will meet the chief of China’s Southern Xinjiang Military District on 6 June after other rounds of talks failed to resolve the month-long border row.
Using a video and image of alleged India-China scuffles, we were able to locate the exact place of the fracas and show Army pushed back Chinese intrusion.
Nations across the world, including a security state like Israel, gives details of terrorists killed. This sends out a strong message to other terrorists.
An aide-de-camp in the armed forces primarily functions as a protocol officer, who looks after implementation of the protocols, and as an executive assistant.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
China has more Engineers among its leadership. India’s leaders are mostly from student wing of political parties.
The Chinese learned how the West produces knowledge, funds its development, and employs it. They hold an edge over India in every area — our semiconductor-fabrication capabilities are almost non-existent. We depend on imports for even small things like network routers.
I am aware there was no intelligence failure in Kargil or now, the build up was reported in newspapers. Who slept over the issue senior lot in; army, intelligence setup or defence ministry ?? Some one should own up
As far I understand, there is no intelligence failure, nor there was any in the past. Politicians block the intelligence so the issue amplifies. And then the politician gets opportunity to show-off that how he/she tackled the problem. That’s old and tested doctrine. Bihar elections are on the horizon and those dead bodies have served the purpose for Modi. He knew everything. So did Sonia during 26/11 And so did Vajpayee during Kargil. Another issue is with our old fashioned lethargic and pampered army generals who refute any extraordinary intelligence inputs. The British legacy can only create boot licker generals. Irony is, a proactive and assertive general will be kicked out by the politician. At times I wonder if the solution is to line up all old politicians and execute them to save lives of thousands of Indian soldiers.
Indian intelligence has failed not only in 1950s, Kargil, 1962, but during URI, Mumbai 26/11, when Indian submarine was blown at Mumbai dock, and Galwan. What is the point of making India a 5 Trillion Dollars economy ? If only its going to attract invaders like Khilaji and Xi Jinping ? Indian politicains have to agree that Defense of India is a joint responsibility and failure in it belongs to all. Government and opposition has to formulate mechanism share responsibility of keeping intelligence and army in active phase. Immediate action required is to change the advisers of PM.
Sir, with due respect, it is absolutely incorrect that Indian intelligence failed any time (excrpt 50’s). For a moment, let’s say they failed, but what about additional feeds from 5 foreign intelligence? Defence ministry is the information hub where you have two problems. 1. Compromised staff. 2. Shrewd politician. Intelligence department does its job, they never get to defend themselves as eventually they serve the politician.
Agree with you Sir.
Is the enemy build up reporting only based on a patrol’s observations. The entire infrastructure of intelligence held by multitude of agencies is held suspect now. Early reporting is what gets food on their tables. They must be answerable. Though it is hard to believe that they didn’t. In that case, agencies that were required to act on that intelligence must answer.
Finally, not an institutionalised system, but the raw courage of our men alone bloodied the enemy. For that to happen implies that the nation is failing these men.
COLLISAL FAILURE. Its not just an Intelligence failure. Its a strategic blunder. if over decades, repeatedly India is stumbling in a similar fashion, in the same region, facing the same enemy. !!!!!
The BLIND MEN OF HINDOOSTAN do not need Lesik treatment, they need Brain transplant.
National security cannot be a function of political party in power or Bravery of the troops alone. My heart bleeds at the plight of Troops who were put in a situation to make a charge without weapons on enemy 6-8 times in strength, at above 16000ft AMSL.
Redemption every time is the bravery of Indian soldiers. Who is then dumped and trashed – be it OROP or even disability pension.
Just a glance at the strategic Darbuk- DBO road in map will tell the vulnerable points. How then ALL CHEQUERED INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES you so aptly listed, failed.
We should not settle unless 20 heads to roll in the bureaucracy to fail the 20 martyrs. That should be the start point of redemption of any kind that any government in power – serious about national security must do. Bite the bullet now or be happy glorifying the martyrdom- suits politically ?
For immediate action all higher defence management offices should be relocated to somewhere in Ladakh so that the sacrifices of troops is not list sight if for one moment.//-
Sir, more than 8 sattelite with 1 meter resolution cameras are watching everything. They knew everything. Problem is seldom the foot soldier, it is the politician who makes the blunder. Let’s see if modi and rajnath announce firing of any defence ministry staff or intelligence officer. :-). If raw can record conversation of Musharraf over Huawei own switching system, they got deep links. We need to focus on these politicians and teach them a hard lesson.
Congress = Corruption = Congress = Traitors =Congress = Arrogance = Congress = Duffer Gandhi = Congress = Dim Wit Gandhi = Congress = Inheritance = Congress = Half Wit Gandhi = Congress = Living on Tax Payers Expense = Congress = China voice = Congress = Pakistani
Congress = China virus
And, everytime after the situation cools a little, such articles about failure of our intelligence will apear again and again, but we are stubborn, won’t change, that is our characteristics, relax sir.
