Question is:
1. Does India want to deescalate?
2. Will China let them?
3. How will India blame this on Pakistan?
4. Will India defuse now and strike back later?
Pakistan must be absolutely alert and on guard for any provocation for at least all of this week. This is tensest Kashmir has been since Feb 27.
India is now looking to make any kind of diversion. They will want to respond in some way to avoid looking weak but it will be hard for them to strike at China directly. India might try to create a diversion by striking at Pakistan instead as an indirect response to China and then conflating it with some sort of Pakistan-China coordinated action in Ladakh.
Pakistan must be absolutely alert right now

Indian Army officer, 2 jawans killed in 'violent face-off' with Chinese troops in Galwan Valley
NEW DELHI: An officer and two soldiers of Indian Army were killed along the India-China border in a violent face-off with Chinese military on Tuesday.
"During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night with casualties on both sides. 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 Indian Army said in a statement on Tuesday.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh has held a meeting with Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, the three service chiefs and external affairs minister Dr S Jaishankar. During the meeting, recent developments in Eastern Ladakh were discussed, according to ANI.
The incident came even as officials from both the sides were engaged in resolving the the dispute over Chinese military buildup in the region.
The talks had made substantial progress with disengagement between Indian and Chinese troops at more locations where they had been in standoff positions for last many weeks.
Sources said that after the June 6 talks between military commanders followed by other rounds of talks, there has not been any considerable build-up activity by both sides and Chinese aggressive behaviour has also been toned down, they said.
At the military commanders' talks between the two Armies, they had agreed to hold parleys at the Patrolling point 14 (Galwan area), Patrolling point 15 and Hot Springs area.
The Chinese Army had earlier pulled back its troops from the Galwan valley, PP-15 and Hot Springs in Eastern Ladakh area by 2 to 2.5 kilometres, they said.
The Indian side has also brought back some of its troops and vehicles from these areas. Sources said talks are being held on these points at the Battalion commander level on these locations and they have had hotline talks with their counterparts.
The initial talks were being held in those areas. The Chinese activities had started in Eastern Ladakh from this location only, they said.

China seems to be have made up its mind for a fight! Modi's dishonesty and duplicity on Galwan have confused Indian forces, and China has got the upper hand! https://t.co/Cpode4tIuW via @ndtv

New Delhi:
An Indian army officer and two soldiers were killed in a "violent face-off" on Monday night with Chinese soldiers at Galwan Valley in Ladakh, in a massive escalation at a time there were efforts to defuse weeks of tension at the border. Senior military representatives of both sides are meeting currently, according to an official statement on Tuesday.
Army sources say the soldiers were not shot but were killed in hand-to-hand combat on Indian Territory.
The official statement said: "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."
Beijing has accused India of crossing the border, 'attacking Chinese personnel', reported news agency Agence France Presse. China's Foreign Ministry said it called on India to not take unilateral actions or stir up trouble, reported Reuters.
Indian and Chinese soldiers have been locked in a standoff for weeks at Pangong Tso, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldie in eastern Ladakh. A significant number of Chinese army personnel even transgressed into the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control or the de-facto border in several areas including Pangong Tso.
After weeks of face-off including an incident in which patrolling soldiers from the two sides came to blows on the banks of Pangong Lake, resulting in injuries, friction eased following talks. Indian and Chinese military commanders had been in talks in Galwan Valley area and Hot Springs.
The Chinese Army had earlier pulled back its troops from the Galwan valley, PP-15 and Hot Springs in Eastern Ladakh area. The Indian side also brought back some of its troops and vehicles from these areas.
China has been reportedly upset about the Indian construction of roads and air strips in the area.
After years of neglect Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has pushed for improving connectivity and by 2022, 66 key roads along the Chinese border will have been built.
One of these roads is near the Galwan valley that connects to Daulat Beg Oldi air base, which was inaugurated last October.

The last thing India will do is provoke Pakistan and give us an excuse to enter the fray with China ramped up on the border as well.
They're stupid but I don't think they would be that stupid.
