10 captives, Over 20 soldiers, including Commanding Officer killed at Galwan border clash with China

The Chinese private only give a kungfu kick for the Indian colonel but he is too weak to bear the outcome. Can't blame Chinese but just too bad Indian are too weak. :enjoy:

What kind of beastly mentality do you have to rejoice at loss of life of some poor soldiers. I can understand some section's hostility and lack of empathy towards loss of Indian lives. Wasn't expecting the same from the Chinese. Now news coming in that there are loss of Chinese soldiers life too. Lets see you rejoicing that too. Pathetic trolls are a dime a dozen here..



@Topic: this is too much!! Complete failure of diplomacy and inability of the authorities to peculate the truce efforts/ message down the ranks.. Future events will be complicated now.

Pakistanis are too afraid to even take advantage of this situation. All their bravery is only on display here on pdf. Just enjoy their buffoonery and clown act.

Three Indian soldiers have been killed in a
clash on the Chinese border
, the Indian army said on Tuesday, following weeks of growing tensions and the deployment of thousands of extra troops from both sides.
“During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night with casualties. The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers. Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation,” the army said in a statement.

The Indian army said there were “casualties on both sides”, but Beijing made no mention of any deaths or injuries as it swiftly laid the blame squarely on India for the incident.

China and India share a 3,488km border, leading to a series of disputes.
In response, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Indian troops crossed the border line twice on Monday, “provoking and attacking Chinese personnel, resulting in serious physical confrontation between border forces on the two sides”.



The Indian army said the incident took place in the Galwan Valley in the high-altitude Ladakh region, just opposite Tibet.

Thousands of troops from the two nuclear-armed neighbours have been involved in the latest face-off since May, after several Indian and Chinese soldiers were injured in a clash on May 9 involving fists and stone-throwing.

The Asian countries have taken steps to de-escalate the six-week stand-off after the countries’ senior
army commanders held talks
this month.

The nuclear-armed neighbours have been locked in a bitter border dispute over a 3,488km unmarked border, which has led to military standoffs and even a war in 1962. However, since then, the two establishments have constituted various mechanisms to ensure that the dispute does not turn violent.

China’s President Xi Jinping and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi have met for two informal summits – in Wuhan in 2018, and last year in the coastal town of Mamallapuram – at which both pledged to not let differences on trade and foreign policy turn into disputes.

China and India ‘reach consensus’ in Himalayan border stand-off

In 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the fact that India and China had not “fired a single bullet at each other” in four decades showed their maturity.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying last week said Beijing had reached a “positive consensus” with New Delhi over resolving the situation, while India on Sunday said the two countries had agreed to “peacefully resolve” matters.

But sources and Indian news reports suggested that India appeared to have effectively ceded to China areas that the People’s Liberation Army occupied in recent weeks, notably parts of the northern side of the Pangong Tso lake and some of the strategically important Galwan river valley.

Agreed. The dynamics do change hereafter. There will be changes. I won't be surprised if we see heavy permanent deployment of war equipments from both sides. Actually this is a good opportunity for India ... you see Pakistan- India border may be more tensed but the border markings are permanent. If this concludes in resolving the border issue then a little noise at the LAC is actually good.
the issue is not of number of people getting killed or on which side...the question is what happens next, how india is going to react, if what you claim is right then how china is going to react. the fact that men died first time in 40 yrs changes the dynamics of region....you would need to deploys arms you will have to deploys assets....it ones two front war for decades tk come for india...
