By building roads right up to the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh, India is changing the rules of the game that China has been unilaterally playing all these years.
‘Mother kept pouring water in our eyes whenever the burning became unbearable. She pushed our bodies deep into the blanket, making sure not a single part was exposed,’ my father said.
December oil imports from Russia may drop nearly 50%, but Indian buyers already shifting to non-designated Russian entities and opaque trading channels to keep Russian oil flowing.
The helicopters produced by Lockheed Martin are known as ‘submarine hunters’. India ordered 24 of these aircraft in 2020 to replace the Sea King helicopters. 15 have been delivered till date.
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.
Sad to read an inaccurate article like this with satellite photographs ( which shows god knows what) and unknown, unnamed sources as the basis. The facts stated by the author about the ground position are clearly wrong. We can trust our army.
China mainly disappointed due to our updated investment rule. They are not directly coming to war, they know 20% of economy is based on Indian market. So they plan for mock war but the real war begins from other neighboring country. So we need to rethink all the aspects and tighten all the borders carefully.
Territories are nothing but pseudo lines. We should not fight for which is not much of relevance. It’s a good move of government if they are doing through dialogue and not fight. I am not expecting from this government that they will do that. But may god gives them brain and not fight. Let china takes 2 or 3 km if they want.
India should not fall into a trap of blackmailing of China for supporting its Genocide corridors in return of Doka La.
China is furious & doing all this with India & Bhutan because both the countries has strongly opposed its Genocide corridors – OBOR in June 2017.
India should & must not support TKB- Tibet Kashmir Baluchistan Genocide Corridor or CPGC- China Pakistan Genocide Corridor or so called CPEC/OBOR (One Belt One Road)/BRI (Border Road Initiative).
These areas i.e., Tibet, Kashmir, Kailash Mansarover,Himalayas, Baluchistan are anciently & historically integral part of India.
A terrorist Mao regime or Mao Republic of China since 1950’s first killed there own King, than its own people and afterwards start capturing Indian northern areas & demolishing peoples fundamental rights & even conducting mass genocides from Tibet to Chinese Occupied Kashmir (Aksai Chin) & now from Gilgit Baltistan to Baluchistan.
Moreover Mao’s Communist regime of China does not even care to obey/respect International Rules & Regulations, whether it is in case of supply of Nukes & its Technology to North Korea, Pakistan & through Pakistan to Iran, Iraq & Libya. And more recently whether we look in the case of Vietnam Sea (or so called South China Sea), strict violation of the orders of International Court of Justice by China. On regular basis China even violates the territorial boundaries (either water or land) of other neighbouring countries like Taiwan, Tibet, Mongolia, Brunei, Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, India, Bhutan etc.
In China there are no democratic rights for there own people. People in China does not even have a right to vote, but it is hard to understand why it is called as People’s Republic of China.

indian (Modi )Government is trying to fix up many issues Pending with the Country.
My View as a Simple man is also as per view of this Military Veteran.
The Government, now, is already making itself Strong so as to reply all the Enemies of the country within as well as outside known .
Copy of comment as above from the Military Veteran :
A ground reality concluded in well equipped Article by the Writer that Political Sagacity & boldness are the need of hour by India against China.
With due respect,I,wish to add that Small Bites regularly taken by Dragon since 1962, are nothing BUT , his , Military Occupations , Fortifications & I’ll designs, on in question LAC & *earliest they are Stopped,the Best.*
Th Government is being too weak and timid. The West is moving manufacturing out of China and the Chinese keep taking Indian territory. it is an absolute joke that they are able to get away with this!
Now is the time to be tough on China. Conciliatory moves are a pure waste of time with bullies. China is the biggest bully in this region. Modi and his team are being much too weak against the CCP (and now based on the information in this article apparently seemed so in the past also!).
Options: Threaten the dictator Xi and his PLA drones: China only respects force. Do you think the Chinese would have set back if the roles and actions were reversed? Indian government reeks of weakness by trying to solve without invading parts of China (tit for tat)!
1) Bring in the Americans for a mutual base to be established all over the LAC and we shall do so, if they refuse to get out of our lands – immediately. We are prepared to go to war and lets see how long the Chinese can keep their manufacturing base?
2) Recognize Taiwan and threaten the CCP that Taiwan may well get access to Nuclear technology – the way the CCP gave it to Pakistan.
3) Support for a free Tibet through this invasion of India.
4) Recognize and support of the HK democratic movement along with the West. Why remain muted as the world’s largest Democracy.
5) Support for the 1 Million Uighurs in detention camps.
5) Bring in double the troops (including bulldozers, artillery, etc) to China and start making it a global and serious incident. Most in the world will support India and in many ways. It will hasten the departure of manufacturing out of China immediately. China has more to lose by making this a major global issue, rather than remaining so neutered! ”
Walk softly but carry a big stick”
Modi and his team really need to put their backs on this one and seriously draw the line in the sand to the Dictator and criminal Xi and his PLA drones.
The same thought we had in 62 …and we all know what happened .
The UN works for the victor . So dont expect any help from them..
Get ready for a full blown war OR just let them walk in quitely snd take what they wsnt .
If the Chinese has transgressed 3 kms into the Indian territory, they should be shot dead. Why do we even wait?
So long India relies on its brave manpower more than it relies on war machines, war logistics etc it will remain subservient. The Chinese do not respect politeness. Or weakness. Was the Army sleeping when the first movements went undetected? If they had been stopped when the first recce platoon was breaching the border now India won’t have to deal with an encampment. How lazy and how negligent this is? Heads must roll!
India has a long border with China. Not immediately but within a year or two can India grab some land in some other area from China? I mean that makes the most logical sense to me as it seems nobody wants war and it’s so difficult to push somebody out that whoever gets in, stays. Plus this was a planned operation from China, how did we let this happen? How can a bunch of Chinese soldiers come in, physically lay claim after just a fist fight. This seems so easy. Local commanders must me given permission to act quickly – may be we could send patrols behind the Chinese lines, create snore fist fights, etc – how can we get settled into this situation so easily and so quickly?
One can understand India succumbing to China’s aggression in 1962, as India was militarily weak under a pacifist leader. Now, it is no longer the case. India is militarily strong, though the strength of military and hardware may not be match. Then why is Modi government so timid in its responses to China, and make Indians believe that it has won the eye-ball contest? I think the public and opposition parties should be more alert and hold the government accountable.
Indian bravery is a mirage created by Indian media. India want to extract benefits from China- America friction without any concrete commitments. But pentagon isn’t occupied by fools. The war is inevitable. Either fight alongside allies and triumph or get humiliated by China. Banya schemes only work against unarmed minorities. In the end media will fool the public into believing an non existent victory with very little loss of territory and dignity.
Sir is it that since China has gained subsequent territory in Ladakh has a bargaining chip to keep some of it and maintain status quo on the other as you said, cant we garner our support from international community or may be can go on an offensive because if they have crossed the Lakshman Rekha it is a matter of sovereignity which has been compromised by the Chinese?
A ground reality concluded in well equipped Article by the Writer that Political Sagacity & boldness are the need of hour by India against China.
With due respect,I,wish to add that Small Bites regularly taken by Dragon since 1962, are nothing BUT , his , Military Occupations , Fortifications & I’ll designs, on in question LAC & earliest they are Stopped,the Best.
It is not clear without knowing actual ground position at site for common citizen like us because it is a complex issue but one thing is it is crystal clear that who is powerful militarily would always dictate it’s terms to adversaries so India must advance and modernize military establishment and must make continuous efforts to be self reliant and self production of military supplies which would create job and industrial growth.If needed Govt. of India should promote some private companies to bolster production of much advanced and sophisticated appliances in India which could benefit country.India need to spend on more defense budget.
With due respect to the author, I must point out that what has been stated about Doklam is incorrect. I have no intention of saying anything further on it in this platform, as a responsible person. But I would suggest that due research is done before putting out facts about such issues
As a lay person, with the benefit of hindsight, would it be fair to say that the intervention in Doklam,, without an explicit request from Bhutan, has done more harm than good.
China enjoys an advantage with India silently acquiescing to its acquisition of our legitimate lands over the years of comprador rulers of past who just did nothing.
So present rulers will show their true selves and have to deal . If they deal as national bourgeoisie then India has hopes; if they deal as comprador, here today gone tomorrow types of the past rulers, then we are gone for a toss.
Lots f issues this Modi Govt has to face and reveal its true colors to Indian People. The march and suffering of the migrant labor cannot be forgotten easily by those who marched.
However, protecting the entire Doklam Plateau was never the aim of the army. It was the southern expansion towards the Indian border that was a point of concern. The Doklam dispute is between Bhutan and China akin to the Aksai Chin dispute between India and China. Although disputed it was under the control of China and hence they continued construction activities. Only this times they have turned hypocrites demanding that India stop construction in what it considers disputed territory but is under Indian control. Prolonged Indian presence at Doklam would have just hurt our relationship with the Bhutanese public as a New York article stated that Doklam was not a great matter of concern for the local crowd. Rather they were afraid of being caught in a tussle between China and India and suffer Tibet’s fate.
Sad to read an inaccurate article like this with satellite photographs ( which shows god knows what) and unknown, unnamed sources as the basis. The facts stated by the author about the ground position are clearly wrong. We can trust our army.
China will not directly coming to war. They plan to hit by other neighboring countries. So be alert!
