Zhang Guozhu communicated the decisions of the Central Military Commission to the frontline troops and hence, was well aware of China’s reasons for the war.
The Chinese are firm in their assertion that they are on their own territory at Pangong Tso, and have cited a road constructed by them during the 1999 Kargil Battle to stake claim.
Contrary to conventional wisdom of a dominating Chinese Navy, the reality suggests that for Beijing, South China Sea is primary focus and not the Indian Ocean.
Whether India’s politico-military establishment is willing to change the narrative, or continue with its restrained response is an acid test for the Modi govt.
Like in an India-Pakistan conflict, the China-India battle too will be fought with a nuclear backdrop, and ironically, India will resort to nuclear brinkmanship.
In 1962, China had used deception to mount a full-frontal attack on India. However, some feel China can no longer catch India off-guard since Army has beefed up presence along LAC.
The false narrative being built up to indicate that the Chinese have been forced to retreat by India’s strong political will and military might only harms us.
Army chief General M.M. Naravane also separately met senior officers to discuss the 15-hour talks held between Indian & Chinese corps commanders to resolve LAC tensions.
This could mean that Army will be away from grey zone areas of LAC, where forces from both India and China patrol and come face to face. At present, Army & ITBP jointly patrol grey zones.
The Indian Army will carry out a verification process in a 72-hour window to ensure China's PLA soldiers have adhered to the agreement arrived at the Corps Commander-level meetings.
In pursuit of its quest for transformation, the Indian military took an important step by organising a tri-services seminar, Ran Samwad-2025, on 26-27 August....
While bond yields tend to fall amid low inflation & interest rate cuts, market experts say they’ve been rising due to concerns over tax collections, fiscal deficit & potential impact of US tariffs.
A panel of experts moderated by ThePrint’s Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta drew connections between insights of 1965 Indo-Pak War and strategic takeaways highlighted by Op Sindoor.
In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
Peace = Bullet for Bullet, Gun for Gun, Missile for Missile, Bomb for Bomb !
Let us leave aside the delusions of last 58 years, hopes for the Best are realized only when we have Achieve the Best !
Panag is spitting at the sun when he calls Jawaharlal Nehru names. Indian Army just wants comfortable jobs and benefits but does not want to fight. They do’t even understand warfare yet pose as experts. They want to drink, party and bad mouth long dead Jawaharlal Nehru. They always enjoyed cheap appliances & liquor in military canteens, free housing and drew pensions yet play victims. Why did they abandon posts and ran away in 1962? When will army finds some shame and takes responsibility? China is indeed as warmongering as suggested, the border would be not too far from Delhi.
Till 2 days back the same general was advocating an assertive Indian approach .. today he is saying just the reverse. Sounds like he himself has been indoctrinated. A bit too fast
Till 2 days back the same retired general was advocating an assertive stand by India.. today he is saying just the reverse. Sounds like he himself has been indoctrinated. A bit too faster.
To keep the record straight India has produced problems for itself annoying its neighbors. India has posed a threat to Pakistan, by threatening to snatche Pok and gilget Baltistan, to Nepal by snatching kalapani and other areas , to China by considering Ladakh as union territory, by annoying Bangladesh. Revoking 370 and change in demographics of Kashmir has ignited the problem. In fact India is now following RSS Agenda, and doesn’t care for other minorities.
Typical Pakistani ranting. First get your country out of FATF grey listing and then speak here.
True Islamist view of India. To express so openly, you must be an Indian Musalman. India never occupied any land. It’s your new friend and friend of Uighur Muslims who is doing the unexpected during a world crisis. We will teach Pak, Nepal and China together. You don’t worry.
So is the general saying that the Indian government should kneel down before a more powerful adversary?
It’s very convenient to comment and suggest. We need the generals like Sagat Singh who put his all stakes at risk in retaining the Nathu La. All of us can be good analyst in retrospect. But the real differentiator is one who is pro-active and demonstrate actions on the ground and not only through articles post retirement.
Yes Maj Gen. Sagar Singh, Gen K Sundarji and Field Marshal S Manekshaw are the military iron men along with so many that we need to give a befitting reply to the Chinese aggressor !
Sir, as per your assessment the superior army is showing unilateral aggression. In this situation what should the inferior army do as per your understanding of the “art of war”. Also in 1962 as per Zhang Guozhu, Indian army had bad defence, colthing, weapons etc. How come even after 40 years the situation is same? With two extremely aggressive neighbors how long do you think the India defense can hold on a 2 front war in present situation ?. Why is it that the Indian defense is always preactive and not pro active. Don’t you think that, it’s should be no surprise that the enemy has taken advantage of weak defense India has.
On top of all the army made the cardinal mistake of trusting the emeny and declaring publicly that they won’t do the routine exercise which is done in Laddak on annual basis due to Chinese-virus.

PANAG IS BOGUS….PERIOD..

Gen Inquilabi has lost it officially.
What is the Indian Army there for?
Just to show helplessness in front of a superior adversary?
