Ability and plan to rotate troops is direct indicator that : 1. The deployment is there to stay. 2. All supporting (combat and non) elements of military will come into play, hence more infrastructure build up is sure and imminent. 3. Logistics are backbone of any military..
operation and deployment. Hence, by shortening supply lines, building more infra and having reserve troops at base in rear, China has indeed fortified itself better. 4. The longer Chinese stay in this area, they do gain in training, acclimatisation and familiarity with terrain..
in general, something Indian forces had a definite advantage in. 5. The build up region will now make China focus hard on this area, especially in terms of surveillance and Intelligence gathering.
Not that it comes as a surprise to Indian side, because these are basic..
steps and procedures, and resulting outcomes. Our tough stand and resolve to stand against the bully was sure to invite such deployment and response. What’s required now is national will to not give into the pressure. War is nasty business! But once you’re in it, don’t back down!

India needs to get over ‘Line Thinking’ as far as #PLA deployment is concerned. While decision makers squabble over which line is the true #LAC as per Indian version, we forget that we aren’t the only claimant in this. Chinese have and will continue to enforce their versions ..
upon us. And we can’t keep crying wolf without acting on it.
As evident from this representation by @detresfa_ , the Chinese have decided to claim and consolidate the 1960 claim line which they reached till in 1962. India has categorically denied these claims but these..
deployments prove that China is simply doing what it wants to.
Since they’ve decided to take 1960 line as the new LAC ( except one position ahead near Burtse in #Depsang ), India is left with two choices to counter this expansionism. 1. Fight them and push them back 2. Agree..
Here’s an extremely sensitive issue bought out by @SinghNavdeep Sir. Physical disability is obvious and easy to identify. But the stresses of military service have started to take a major toll on health and lives of serving officers, which should not be ignored anymore. There..
has been a definite and worrying increase in cardiac arrest related fatalities amongst serving officers and its high time Organization noticed and took preventive measures. The stress amongst officers is never combat or war related. It’s the vagaries of ‘Peace postings’ that..
are real culprits. There is no dearth of competence n experience in Army; sadly the way gov needs to take care of serving men and women is not happening and that’s the latent cause of these health related complications originating from hypertension n stress. Add to that ..
In a way it’s good that #Azerbaijan has called #Pakistan to come and fight with them against #Armenia. It’ll help expose Pakistan’s hypocrisy to the world and even to its so called partners on how these guys won’t even fire an air-gun without asking for money. #MercenaryNation
The Gov of Armenia will declare General Mobilisation and Martial law soon. All troops called back to units.
It’s officially on. #Azerbaijan has declared war on #Armenia. Let’s hope the world gets together to diffuse this rather than jump in to escalate the issue. The region is like a keg of gunpowder now. Won’t take much to explode beyond control. #IndiaStandsWithArmenia
I see a lot of - Fine some #Bollywood stars took some drugs. What’s the big deal ? We have bigger issues to deal with.
Here’s why it’s big deal :
1. Interrogating users helps #NCB find distributors which helps find importers(into country and city) which helps find producers.
2. Even if it is not possible to take direct action against producers, it’s important to know who’s sending in this poison to ruin your country. 3. The most famous nexus / route in South Asia is Afghanistan - Pakistan - India/Nepal - India - Burma - Thailand. This is a known..
smuggling route and governments have long since tried to block them. Air, land and water - all routes are used by human traffickers and drug cartels to smuggle these drugs. 4. The terror networks will always be hand in glove with drug cartels because everyone needs money that’s
The next round of Corps Commanders talks between India and #China for #lehstandoff have been fixed for Monday. A quick analysis on what these talks would aim to achieve for both : 1. N. Pangong Fingers : India would want Chinese to back off from finger 5 and restore previous ..
Patrolling routes for Indian troops till finger 8. China might, MIGHT, agree to this but only for finger 5. Beyond that it will not demolish its boatyards and new infrastructure it has built. But it’ll ask for India to vacate occupied heights Finger 4 and operate from ITBP post.
at the base. Hence this is a position where the talks might gain some ground for both.
2. Hot springs and Galwan valley, both have massive infrastructure on chinese side and even if India asks them to move back, ain’t happening. Both are well connected to G219 and cantonments..
China is constantly trying to seduce Nepal not because it needs a military ally to fight India. That’s a very myopic view of Chinese grand plan. The main reasons are : 1. Access - By making Nepal an ally, China gets to move its forces through ..
Lipulekh area into Nepal from West Nepal, and from Sikkim’s side in East, both well motorised accesses and enables China to being its Armour and Army and threaten central India. The deployment of Indian forces here is obviously not as strong as in North and NE frontiers ..
of India, against China and even Pakistan. It’s the same strategy China is trying with Bhutan. To use the interiors of these nations to deliver its forces against lightly held areas in India. 2. Force India to deploy against Nepal - If chinese are able to do this, India will..
