India and China to begin next phase of disengagement only after formal verification of initial phase is complete. Verification being done through visual detection and drones.
China’s military preemption has baited India. A quick and emotional response would be a strategic folly. India can 'counter bait' China by maintaining the 'status quo' indefinitely.
Xi Jinping may like to believe that modern China is the centre of global power structure. But Covid-19 has poured cold water over all its military and economic calculations.
Having faith in the political leadership and armed forces is a must in such periods of uncertainty. Let peace prevail at LAC without a Himalayan blunder.

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Every incident throws up an opportunity!
And this is ours!
The Air Chief is right. Let us all, the hardworking common man, the self-centred politician and the carefree youth, get their acts together. This and ONLY this, is the time to act. This is the time for innovation and hard work.
This is the time to throw away all Chinese made stuff and come up with breathtaking innovations.
IT IS NOT THE DOGS IN A FIGHT BUT THE FIGHT IN THE DOGS THAT MATTER!
LET US GET THE CHINESE PACKING AND RUNNING.
We owe it to posterity.
Fact is that Modi chickened out………he is mortally afraid of PLA. and Chinese are clever enough to smell his fears …….Compare: when IAF bombed Balakot ..Pakistan PAF retaliated within 24 hours shooting down Indian aircrafts …PAF did not say its budget is 1/10 of IAF……IT SIMPLY HIT BACK…….. When 20 brave Indian soldiers are clubbed to death what did Modi do……………Talk & only talk…………..shameful !!!
India is far away to build military force compared to Chinese,both in devoloping technology and infrastructure.Even after 73 years from independence ,Indian corrupt politicians before Modi era had exploited the country .During the period of coalition Govt. by Congress party,the other political parties like DMK had dragged the country’s progress down.
Not war but threat of war is the Chinese strategy. Will India venture into suicidal arms-race with China? Eternal vigilance and preparedness can have costs on the Indian economy. Should we now divert our resources from the western border to the East? India will now face an enhanced threat of two fronts war. What this incidence has done is that it belied the futile illusions of friendship and economic partnership with China. The strategy of appeasing China by event management of grandiose ceremonies has failed. China is too shrewd to be lured by such optics.
China plays GO and not chess
China detests war and considers going to war a job of novices and incompetent strategists.
In its 23 border disputes since 1949 it has used force only 3 times viz 1962 ,1969 and 1979.
Making moves which force the opponent to react in a fashion which destroy him without a bullet being fired are possible only with great skill,long preparation and exquisite timing. This is why GO is so much more difficult than Chess.
I use the word Play GO as a metaphor

If a Chief Air Marshal says that Chinese territory now includes Galwan and also “It is clear that China’s decision to militarily occupy Galwan Valley and other areas of Ladakh was not taken in a spur of the moment” and the P.M. says there has been no transgression in Ladakh then whom to believe?

The Air Chief (r) hit the nail on the head when he states “Our political wrangling and television debates are draining our energy. This should stop. “
