The Indians could B.S. about casualty numbers all they want, but there is one thing they can't B.S. about:
the Indian soldiers never went back for their own.
When the Chinese were heavily outnumbered, they didn't think about their own safety but that of their commanders and comrades. Two of the soldiers who perished died shielding others from sticks and rocks. One of the soldier who broke out of the ambush actually went back after calling for reinforcement.
Compare that with the Indians, who basically left at least twenty of their own on a frigid night in Galwan valley just so that they can live.
I think that nothing illustrates the differing mentalities of the two armies better than this. For all their bravadoes, the Indians:
1) Didn't send a rescue party after Abinandan when he was captured.
2) Didn't send a rescue party until the next day after the Galwan conflict.
But I'm sure everything is fine since they build a fancy monument for them and all that after they are DEAD.
Couple of month ago in Jun, I knew it was tricks played by BJP Leaders/Modi. Modi knew very well that PLA is serious, but still sent incompetent soldiers to death.
The death will save Modi's face, win sympathies at home and used as political leverage to shut up all those oppositions.
It worked. Modi shut down 200 Chinese apps, no objections. Modi shut down China-India trade, no objection. Those measures are out of Modi's privilege, but no one dare to challenge Modi's authority.
Modi is a populist, very good at inciting the crowd, mass manipulation, campaign. Dozens of India soldiers death is nothing to Modi, actually won a lot of political capitals for him.
Under economy contraction, nationalism fever is the only way Modi can survive.
But but, China is a mature player, our Chinese knew very well those tricks. 历史上借人头来做文章的多了去了，杨修之死，汉景帝为了安抚藩王杀晁错。
Chinese is patient as well. The stand off exhausted India Army, cost billions of dollars. The longer Modi bet on Chinese concession, the more he lose.
We will witness Modi reopen China-India trade, unban Chinese Apps. Modi will kneel under the table.
