no they just wear that funny looking face paint on their funny looking faces and beat up civilians (including women)....the only people your goons fight are unarmed
i guess by war you mean communal wars [within india]
it's okay.....their inaction against China suits us well. It'll set a good precedent and embolden regional countries to be more assertive. Pakistan never will be scared against these clowns but hopefully Nepalese, BDeshis etc. will assert themselves more (we should work closer with them in that respect)
Chinese helicopters drop food for their soldiers in Ladakh as stand-off continues - The Times of India
LEH/NEW DELHI: Tension persisted in Chumar area in northeast Ladakh where Chinese troops were reported to have stepped up their presence in the early hours of Thursday, camping at three places in Indian territory and refusing to vacate the area.
Official sources said helicopters regularly air dropped food packets for the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) personnel numbering around 600 at the three areas in Chumar, 300 km east of Leh.
The sources said both the Indian and Chinese armies were maintaining a distance of 200 metres from each other, as the continuing stand-off in Demchok and Chumar cast a shadow on today's summit talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping in New Delhi.
Sources said that neither side has asked for a fresh flag meeting following the incident in Chumar which has been an epicentre of heightened activities of the Chinese army who were making repeated attempts to enter through this area.
According to sources, the Chinese side pushed in more troops before the break of dawn with more banners asking the Indian Army to leave the area. Chinese helicopters were seen hovering at least thrice during the day air dropping food packets for its troops, they said.
The Chinese side had been constructing a road on their side of LAC but on Sunday, its workers entered into the Indian side to carry on the construction. This was objected to by the Indian side as Chinese workers were making assertions that they have instructions to build a road upto Tible, five kilometres deep into Indian territory, the sources said.
The Indian Army asked the Chinese workers to leave, otherwise they would face prosecution under Indian laws for entering into the country illegally.
However, during the intervening night of Sunday and Monday, nearly 100 Indian soldiers were reported to have been encircled by 300 Chinese PLA men after which a face-off started and still continues.
The two sides have held two flag meetings so far which included a marathon discussion on Wednesday that continued for several hours and remained inconclusive. Meanwhile, the stand-off in Demchok where Chinese nomads, Rebos, had pitched their tents continued. The incursion in this area is nearly 500 metres deep into Indian territory, the sources said.
Chumar, the last village in Ladakh area bordering Himachal Pradesh, has been a bone of contention with China claiming it to be its own territory and has been frequenting the area with helicopter incursions almost every year. In 2012, the PLA dropped some of its soldiers in this region and dismantled the makeshift storage tents of the Army and ITBP.
Chumar had become a flash point during the fortnight long stand-off last year in Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) as the Chinese side had objected to overhead bunkers erected by the Indian side.
