China has stopped or diverted the flow of Galwan waters, an action contrary to its assurance that it would not block waters of south and westward flowing rivers.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the two countries have unimpeded communication channels and hoped the issue can be resolved through dialogue and consultations.
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.
Last week, Nepal responded with anger after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the road up to Lipulekh, built for pilgrims to Kailash Mansarovar.
Army Chief Gen MM Naravane said two incidents of violent clashes between armies of India & China at Ladakh & Sikkim were not related and are being resolved at local level.
Indians see West Asia as one uninterrupted wash of Islam, but the reality is more complex. For the Druze, support from Israel—where they are a recognised minority—is now critical.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
I am afraid , the author has gone horribly wrong on location of Galwan river. The imagery is of different place. There no river or nallah near it as shown.
I am amazed to see the views of the Indian people here. Now China has started to do the same what India has been doing stop rivers flowing To Pakistan according to Indus Water Treaty it was Pakistan’s right to use that water. I see so many Indian troll and make fun of Pakistanis on facebook by saying, we have stopped your water and what could you do?? Take Kashmir if you can. Now India is facing same thing from China which is more muscular than India on international arena. All these things are actual a lesson for us. Lesson is that As you sow, so shall you reap. I know many of you will not like my comment but this is truth. We all should learn from it.
epicentre of global terrorism talks about As you sow, so shall you reap. very funny.
@shazad: when did India stop Indus water to Pakistan? please do not come and comment without knowing the facts on Indus treat. 3 eastern Beas, Ravi & Sutlej flows into pakistan and western rivers indus, jehlum, chenab for india. Apart from using it for hydro electric power generation which doesn’t stop the flow India was releasing water including some of india’s part from western into pakistan. READ BEFORE COMMENTING
*eastern rivers for india and western for pakistan… Jehlum river water was also given to pakistan which according to the treaty belongs to India.
There needs to be some shame. Human beings cannot be so shameless as you Pakistanis. India said it will use ITS SHARE of waters henceforth which was not used earlier. What kind of pathological liars you Pakistanis are. How can some stupid Indian people even harbour some thoughts of coexistence with you people? I can understand one or two – but imagine an entire country being liars, deceitful thieves. People like you should be reminders to Indian nut cases that think peaceful livelihood alongside you is even possible. You are proof that evil exists in the world. And you salivating at the thought of a fight between chinese and indians. What kind of sick mindset is this? Indian armed forces will never retreat and will fight this out – what will happen will happen. There will be thousands of chinese dead and potentially thousands Indians dead. But imagine you hyenas salivating. You are the representatives of all the evil in this world.
Fool somebody else.
Dark blue water flowing in week 2 ( Image 6 ) and water vanishes in week 4 (Image 7). Definately Image 6 is an previous year’s image.
There is no white tent as mentioned in Image 5 otherwise you would shown it as proudly as you have shown it in image 7.
Just cut the bullshit and get your fictional story correct.
And if this is being done on government’s behest please advise them we indians are not fools….we will rather accept china bullying us than being told lies.

The reports don’t sound convincing. If things were settled by our Army units so fast, why would our Defence MInistry now confirm large number of troops from China in this region today. The author has not interpreted the imagery correctly or viewed the wrong image.
Latest news is that the matter is escalated to Lt General level, which has happened for the first time. Now as per the author of this article if things are resolved at military level, what are these senior guys meeting for? Just a friendly chai pe charcha?
India should collect enough evidence, approach ICJ and file a case, raise the matter in UN and move a motion to remove China from UN Security Council until it complies with all UN norms.
5And it’s veto power should be vetoed. Such cruel nation do not deserve it. It along with Pak took lives of so many Indians.Nehru’s mistakes haunting us.
As always, the author presents an analysis which is very detailed, based on facts and with interesting conclusions. It is clear that the plan to stop rivers in terms of Intent and infrastructure Has existed for quite sometime and It’s execution now is just a small precursor of what the Chinese plan to do on the Eastern front where Bhramaputra is the life line for many states
And you will make us trust those whom your paymasters in IT cell want to be trusted.
Trust is supposed to be tied to truth. It shouldn’t be a choice. It goes with another word – trustworthy. You guys have destroyed the notion of truth with your alternate facts. Just remember it’s the same country your kids will inherit.
No you should continue to trust this right wing troll.
Col. Ajay Shukla (retd), considered an expert in defence matters, says there are 10,000 Chinese troops doing in India. He further says, “The most worrying situation is in the Galwan valley where the PLA has crossed China’s own claim line (which Beijing had stated was the border with India), and breached 3 to 4 km into Indian territory.” The Chinese claim that the Galwan River Valley is a part of China. The Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says the Chinese soldiers are in Ladakh in big numbers. ” And New York Times says that China is now occupying Indian territory. “A few days later, Chinese troops confronted Indian soldiers again, this time at several other remote border points in the Himalayas, some more than 1,000 miles apart. Since then both armies have rushed in thousands of reinforcements. Indian analysts say that China has beefed up its forces with dump trucks, excavators, troop carriers, artillery and armored vehicles and that China is now occupying Indian territory.” None of these three sources agree with your conclusion that, “Chinese intrusion in Galwan lasted for two weeks before it was cleared by Indian troops”.
As you pickup the colour of your shirt of your choice, you can pick a story of your choice to believe it. What matters is your belief because only that can give you peaceful sleep.
Truth is not color of a shirt. It’s like sun. There is only one out there. Spreading blatant lies and propaganda masquerading as a version of truth maybe your job. One wonders how you list it on your CV.
Don’t trust people, see evidence. Shukla has not shown a single piece of evidence leaving some unnamed “sources”. If Iyer-Mitra is lying, his satellite images will be challenged and will be cross examined. Ajai Shukla does not even gives this opportunity as his sources remain unnamed.
The whole game from Chinese point of view is about water and prestige. If the Galwan is dispersed and no full tributary to Shyok anymore, India has seriously to address this concern internationally, politically and last but least militarily as a lower riparian state.
If Chinese have stopped the flow of Galwan river, where has the water been diverted and how it has been diverted? Is it so easy to do so? We need to understand this issue further and also, to assess how we can stop this possibility. Chinese are capable of doing many types of mischief and we need to be alert and on guard all the time.
Overall, as compared to past, one can say that Indian Army has been alert and responded to the Chinese actions quickly and effectively. It shows that our infrastructure build up on the LAC is showing results and we must continue to build it further and secure our part of LAC so that LAC is effectively converted into LOC until border issue is finally settled. India seems to have abandoned its pusillanimous behavior of old days. This is a good news- Modi hai to mumkin hai!
Double standards of Indian nationalism, Chian doing bad let’s internationalize the issue,
India doing same in Kashmir, Internal matter, Bilateral Unilateral, hypocrisy
It’s called flexible standard. Double standard is old and out dated.
Kashmir is part of India since millennia’s until desert snakes moved in.
Excellent reply, sir. Usurper of Kashmir want ownership. Thugs.
There still isn’t a road connection between India and Kashmir. It was Nehru selling his ass in bedroom of Mountbatten to get Gurdasspur, which was Muslim majority area going to Pakistan, from where randian troops landed in Kashmir.
The only invasion in india was Aryan manuwadi invasion that forcibly converted monotheistic moolnivasis into cowshit eating, lund worshipping, widow burning hindu demons. Islam restored the original faith that was corrupted by criminal and blood sucking brahmin.
No matter how many american and european balls brahmin will lick, randias time has now approached. 5000 years of brahmin treachery and blood shed will now be put to complete end.
Should we believe Iyer or the DM ?
Chinese troops present in sizeable numbers at LAC, India has done what’s needed: Rajnath
Defence Minister says India and China perceive LAC differently, leading to regular jostling; Beijing ‘should seriously deliberate’ and resolve the issue amicably.
bilkul sahi bola bhai… actually i have seen shyok end to end and we let water go into napakistan… our usage of shyok water is not much..its the pakis who are going to get real hard…pur pakis being the ulti chutiyas are jumping up down..kya kar sakte ho inka !!
This is china not pakistan…even in doklam same strategy was followed of resolute ground resistance and strategic silence….there is no benefit in humiliating chinese as they will be a source of future investments….restoring status quo ante and rapidly developing our economy shd be our only priority….
This is getting weird by the hour. Why would Indian defence ministry need some ‘senior fellow’ writing in the Print space to act as its principle information conduit? Where is the official line through official channels of communications? Unless of course Mr. Iyer-Mitra here speaks on behalf of the Indian defence establishment.
This cavalier behaviour insults the soldiers posted in those treacherous high altitudes. It signals to them that their commanders are either not serious or have been told by their civilian masters to endure pressure because frankly the adversary is too strong and just can’t be retaliated against.
Indian political class is playing with the morale of its armed forces. It will have devastating consequences.
Your first name suggest you must not worry about it.
china is a disgusting country,
how can it stop the flow of waters in the already water starved ladakh region?
This issue must be internationalised soon if the talks are not yielding any results.
Why double standards?
India tasting its own medicines, Ladies and gentlemen India wants an issue to be internationalized , WHY? Because here China is doing injustice, What about India doing same in Kashmir, Why double standards?
@Ismail, Jihadis have no say in world matters.
Kya bakvas hai
Just to please your boss (Modi) you are fictitiong new thing. If you are so correct then PM would have been first person to declare it on tv.
Abey namune kayi sector hain, and they are along the LAC.
Who cares what u think
@Abhishek please don’t say it that you don’t have an iota of knowledge about how these kind disputes are handled diplomatically and not by rhetorics on TV channels. If Modi would do so, it would be a the stupidest idea right now. India should first thwart chinese and send them back along with looking comprehensively into this matter whether or not it is true that the river flow has been obstructed. Then after India can take requisite steps to disparage this unethical move by the Chinese.
If PM Modi has forgotten to fulfill your wishes, Pappu or Pappi should now step in and fulfill your wishes.
The ‘Boss’ for ‘The Print’ is not Modi. Refurbish your knowledge.
