I have not come across anyone who knows so little about military matters as @PravinSawhney. He regularly makes very basic mistakes in his military assessments. Let me show his big errors wrt #Disengagement

1. North Bank - China had a big advantage on North Bank because of

the road from Srijap fort to F4 (chinese claim line). After F4, further access to East ie F3, F2 and so on is via a narrow foot track. Vehicles could not go there. So when we wanted to patrol from F4 to F8 (our claim line) we would have to come from F3 on foot and walk to F8

Chinese could react very quickly and come in vehicles and block our patrols

Chinese have also built strong defences, habitat along the north bank since last June when #indiachinastandoff started. In fact they even took positions on the heights of the fingers

Now they are

As India & #China resumed talks on Jan 24 to address the nine month-long standoff along LAC in eastern #Ladakh, a village head from one of the border villages claimed that Chinese vehicles were using Indian roads to enter Indian territory bit.ly/3qI1akq
@vijaita reports
@vijaita Mr. Urgain, who shot the video, told The Hindu that when the nomads went for winter grazing this year, Chinese people asked them to vacate the area.

@vijaita “The area where the Chinese are trying to assert themselves is close to patrolling point 38. Our nomads havn't been there for winter grazing for the past two years due to some illness in the livestock," says Urgain Tsewang, village head of Koyul

Troops being bought ahead to beef up deployment in near future at LAC. China may have agreed to move back a little but that didn’t mean it’ll stop strengthening its positions on Chinese side. And this location ( Ngari airport) is hardly 250 km from Pangong lake.

2. These could also be construction workers and equipment in bulk to speed up the defences and construction being built up on LAC. China would want to finish it all beside winters sets in.

1. Post-independence, Indians have been made to believe that war is bad and Indians (read Indian kings) only fought battles in defense, never in offense (whatever that means). #indiachinastandoff
2. Further, 'resilience' rather than strong response to provocation, be it in form of terrorism or incursions, have been upheld as the ideal. [Remember the Mumbai's so called resilience in the face of 26/11 attacks?] #indiachinastandoff
3. However, this goes everything against Indian civilizational ethos and worldview. Our civilization never asked us to act like Dhimmis and cowards and its a colonial and Gandhian myth fed to us. #indiachinastandoff

#China's CCTV4 news network releases a special program titled "How did #China defend the sovereignty and stabilize the situation in the #GalwanValley incident?" .. shows on ground images with alleged visuals of #India's attempts to create an alleged helipad #IndiaChinaStandOff
After looking at the images, these look like mid to late may
very similar to this image seen earlier of 22 May 2020 (left)

CCTV image (right) authenticity unknown, but this position later was taken over by China post the June 15 Clash as reported by various media outlets

MEA spox on #indiachinastandoff :
"In recent days, we have made our position clear on the unfolding developments in the Western Sector of India China Border areas."

@IndianExpress
MEA: "In particular, our statement of 20th June provided the relevant facts and clearly established it has been the Chinese actions thus far which have led to increase in tension in the region and also to the violent face-off of 15th June with casualties."
@IndianExpress
MEA: "In early May, the Chinese side had taken action to hinder India's normal, traditional patrolling pattern in the Galwan Valley area. The resulting face-off was addressed by the ground commanders as per the provisions of the bilateral agreements & protocols."

#indiachinastandoff THREAD:
Our & Chinese army have been in standoff for almost 2 months now. There are 3 locations where two armies are face to face right on LAC (and in some cases even beyond that).
1. Galwan Valley (Patrol Point 14)
2. Hot Springs
3. Pangong Tso
1. #GalwanValley
Galwan valley is of very high strategic importance to both India & China. It is the gateway to Aksai Chin which is claimed entirely by India but occupied by China. Galwan valley was one of the major battles of 1962 war.
#indiachinastandoff
Interestingly, post-1962, there have been no military face-offs vis-a-vis the region. That is, until now. Around 15th June, this region blew to headlines after deadly brawl between Indian and Chinese troops. There is no official breakdown of events, so let's look at the issue.

-Images by @Nrg8000 spotted a camp at #GalwanValleyFaceOff on 22.05.2020
-Images by @Reuters spot debris in the area on 16.06.2020

-#India said #China set up a temp structure that led to the clash, media said the #IndianArmy Col burnt it down

Composite image below Image
Adding this comparison between the 9-16 of June as well that shows the camp did indeed leave some time between may & june but debris arrived instead at the same spot --- via @Reuters Image
Lastly a camp there treated as a forward outpost makes a lot of sense since its "line of sight" would allow either side to watch the other's activities in the area, the only issue is this patch of land lies in #India as per the #China claim line Image

With the #indiachinastandoff slowly unraveling, the following reactions came out :

Communists: The unwanted, unwarranted created by BJP's army in Ladadh against our comrades is because the Govt. wants to hide and doesn't want to discuss NRC matter.

This is not the time when #China would like to go on war with #India

Their bigger interest and econokical motives lie in POK, be it money or power... it has better strategic value.

#indiachinastandoff seems like buying time or delaying #IndianArmy’s move in POK.
Pakistan losing POK is China losing CPEC and entry route to central EU, investmens doobege woh alag.

POK gone means China will not be able to provide military support to pakistan, air route over India is not an option anyways...forget Sea.
On contrary, POK under India means sharing border with afghanistan, threat to pakistan.

India can have direct land export route into Central EU

Gas line from Tajikistan, development of the region.

Indian army will uproot terror launchpads in POK bringing peace in the region

Around 120 #Indian soldiers, almost an entire company, was trapped and encircled by the #Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) and followed by savage and deceptive attacks, many to a point of mutilation, on Monday night, sources said.

#IndiaChinaBorder #Galwan
Pointing firearms on their faces, the #Chinese PLA brutally tortured some #Indian soldiers to death, sources further revealed, adding that the Indian soldiers were helpless with the government directions of not to use firearms.

#IndiaChinaBorder #GalwanValley #IndiaChinaFaceOff
It was not a hand-to-hand fight between the forces, as IANS has learnt and the #PLA troopers used all kinds of weapons against the #Indian soldiers, who bravely fought and tried to control the situation.

Only way to beat China is by being economically stronger. How does a $2.7 trillion economy take on a $14 trillion global bully? Get growth back, use it to upgrade our defence make India an integral part of the globe. Everything else is crap. #ChinaIndiaFaceoff #chinaindiaborder
Countries that have progressed globally stay away from wars, conflicts and hatred. U.S does all the wars but thousands of kms off its coast,Japan and South Kores don’t disturb N. Korea. Germany hasn’t fought a war since WW2...
England fought Argentina thousands of miles down south near the Falkland Islands. No advanced nation goes into war. The cost of war is unimaginable and takes you bacK by decades . War is the tone of the weak and good for winning elections not for raising people out of poverty.

Indo-China relations : Nehru-Gandhi family's legacy of blunders

Congress-era policies are the root cause of the pain in the neck from China. Let's find out how! Let's start with the blunders committed by Jawaharlal Nehru..

*Nehru disregarded Sardar Patel's advice*

Sardar Patel urged Nehru to be ‘alive to the new danger’ from China & to make India ‘defensively strong’ outlining a series of steps to enhance security

Nehru ignored him & India could not be saved from disastrous consequences!

*Nehru ignored others too : Hindi Chini Bhai-Bhai*

Panchsheel agreement, 1954 was not welcomed by many including former Sec Gen of Foreign Ministry, Sri Girija Shankar Bajpai

Nehru relied on his coterie of advisors & squandered a golden opportunity to solve China problem
