While China has sought a meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who is in Russia now, Jaishankar is expected to meet Wang Yi at SCO meet in Moscow next week.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will leave for Russia Wednesday for the SCO meet. His Chinese counterpart will also attend, but no bilateral meet is scheduled.
Experts say these expansions fit into a South China Sea-like strategy, which suggests Beijing plans to aggressively pursue its western territorial claims.
This is the first clash between the soldiers of both countries since the Galwan incident that resulted in 20 Indian troops being killed and an undeclared number of casualties on China's side.
Stanford researcher writes why New Delhi in recent times has been left with an invidious all-or-nothing choice in the use of military force—either start a major war or abstain from action.
India, China have agreed to resolve outstanding issues in an ‘expeditious manner’ and in accordance with the existing agreements and protocols, MEA has said.
Going through their Instagrams and dissecting their ‘statements’ is not the astute political commentary you think it is—it is time for us to back off from targeting 20-year-olds.
Companies are borrowing more from banks and public. Economists say high capacity utilisation & growing new orders could set stage for renewed investment push by India Inc.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
That is the whole idea of occupying worthless heights and brackish water lake in Eastern Ladakh.. The occupation of Southern heights of the Pangong lake all the way to Chusul is a good reminder to the Chinese that their time of strong arm tactics at LAC is over. They either negotiate in good faith or just vacate whatever they made an effort to occupy. My preference is that they vacate all the desolate land they occupied including in 1962 clash. Right now that invincibility idea of China is badly hurt. An amicable settlement is the best they can hope. Otherwise well equipped and mountain trained Indian army will frustrate all their designs and more of their prestige will be hurt. Indian Army has only one motive that is come of 1962 defeat psychology.
Even if he wishes to Amit Shah cannot be a Hindu jingoist, simply because he belongs to the minority community of Jains.
All this talk about bargaining chips is just nonsense………..When will the 1.4 million Indian army finally going to evict the invading Chinese..PLA……………….that is the real question!!!
Jai Shankar , if he meets Wang To shud look him in the eye with Monalisa smile. He shud not allow Wang to give him lecture like he did during last phone conversation in June.
He is no more a FS.
In this context , it may be apt to share with readers this Vedic astrology writer’s one of predictive alerts through article -“ Predictions for coming year 2020 by kushal kumar” – published last year 2019 on 10 October , 2019 at theindiapost.com. One of the predictive alerts for July to October ( November) 2020 in relation to India reads like this :-
“ The second half of the year from July to October/November looks to be addressing the setbacks or delay of the past , particularly those of the first half. …………………………………..The obstructive forces may weaken to some extent. It seems the said period of second half can boost up the ambitious side of the nation”. It may be added that the predictive alerts in article of 10 October , 2019 had carried one interesting hint , which had said :- “ danger can come via sea”. HP-Uttarakhand-J&K were also indicated for quake-like something during April –June or later in 2020. It may be observed that centre of focus continues to be , whether in April-June or in August , a lake looking -like a sea to the viewer, known as Pangong Tso Lake , said to be 150 kms long dunning through Indian territory passing over to China. https://www.theindiapost.com/articles/predictions-for-coming-year-2020-by-kushal-kumar/
A recent article of this writer – “ Planetary configuration in August -September 2020 suggest something historic , something rare” – published at nirpakhawaaz.com on 20 July , 2020 also indicates some interesting inputs in relation to war-like or hostile happenings involving vulnerable countries across the globe. The dates 27 to 29 in August , 2020 were indicated for more care and appropriate strategy. And the incident in southern bank of Pangong Tso Lake has taken place on the night of 29/30 August 2020. The Chinese troops are reported to be continuing the attempt after 29/30 night August. And this writer’s predictive alert in the said article of 20 July 2020 has said :- “August-September , particularly 10 August to 11 September , in present year 2020 appear something loaded with mini-war , if not full-fledged war somewhere across the globe in vulnerable countries between two camps – one camp claiming to be or advocating social-cum-universal way of life while the other one appears to be having expansionist tones”. http://www.nirpakhawaaz.com/2020/07/20/planetary-configuration-in-august-september-2020-suggest-something-historic-something-rare/
The scorpion that reveals itself, however aggressively, is far less dangerous than that which lurks concealed beneath the blanket; this surely is the most positive outcome of the ongoing crisis on the LAC, a crisis entirely initiated by China. The endgame is yet far away; more than the battle-hardened Indian military, it is the Indian civilian populace that will be tested for its courage and endurance in the coming year.

‘ a crisis entirely initiated by China…’
It was initiated by Amit Shah and his Hindu jingoism. Learn to be objective.
Even if he wishes to Amit Shah cannot be a Hindu jingoist, simply because he belongs to the minority community of Jains.

Snehesh always mentions ” in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed”. Request you to mention it in different way as the loss was on both the sides.
Entire India knows there was loss of life on both the sides but you are making it one sided only.
