Shahzade,
We need to take a detached view....
understandable the PakPosters reacting here as they do...since, we have been subjected to daily onsluaght of
MightyIndianness .... and whatnotz... regardless...
Let us first build a picture based on available informaiton-
The Start:
The
PLA moves in large numbers in different points accross the
LAC... and
more consolidated in Ladakh...
Finger4 is now ChineseFinger!
There was practically a
studied silence from the Chinese side...and the Indian side was quiet as a grave.... letting known through selected mouthpieces that there was
NO Incursion in
IndianOccupiedLadakh...and that it was just differing
Perception of LAC....
Here on PDF we have countless threads to this effect...
The Middle:
We saw different
AsocialMedia claims and counter-claims... with some
OpenSourceIntel handle showing one or the other...
The PLA started their high altitude exercies in Tibet... also, showed alot of equipment and troops joining the '
exercises' ...
the very Chinese way of Speaking without words...
There were talks held at the place which is under the PLA control...with military protocal employed to demonstrate displeasure i.e.
senior IA officer meeting his counterpart one rank junior to himself... IA officer was also made to wait... the meeting was at the
Request of the Indians....
Then whishpers of
Diplomatic n Peaceful resolution of the '
dispute' emerged from the Indian side...which were echoed by the Chinese...
We saw the lynching of a single Chinese Solider at the hands of Indian troops... him being pushed under the riot-shield ...Indian troops excited... trying to smash the headlight of an armoured vehicle...
The next day the Chinese released picture of Indian troops tied up and 'provided care' by the PLA... with storyline that they fell from the hills and luckily the PLA was there to take-care of them...
Framing!
The Indians also move equipment and troops to the front...and showed it via
AsocialMedia... at least what I saw here on PDF... but
Quiet as a Grave ModiRegime kept the Omerta Oath...
The BiggestDeomcracy Song... well,
IndiaMoD gagged the IndianMedia about reporting ... 'heating up things' ...
Some reports of CAPs from both sides... so fair to conclude some level of aerial activity there....
The the Indian DM spoke to media... dropping slight hints of the
ChineseIncursion in typical
PoliticalDoubleSpeak.... adding that through
Peaceful means ....
Then another Modi minister proclaimed peaceful nature of India adding that India doesn't lust after lands of its neighbours and wants Peace!
Then we hand the same Indian MD ... that India will stand firm in the standoff....
NOW:
IndianArmy offically claims that an high ranking officer and two soldiers are dead... and it did add that there are casualities on the Chinese side...
it is probable...
Only question would be what were the
instruements of engagement that caused deaths/casualities on both side?
Sticks n Stone?
Or something more 19th/20th Century?
Mr. Shukla is claiming that there are massive casualities...so far he has been sticking his neckout... please, remember that he is as much
IndianNationalist as any RSSrz.... if not more!!!
Intial assessment is the manner of
Framing this incidence..
As I tried to convey earlier...
the Chinese have been consistent in Framing that the IndianTroops illegally entered the Chinese territory ...and that India must stop its agressive behaviour... P
eace n Harmony would be better.
The manner and scope of the
PLA liberating parts of Ladakh and subsequent demands from
ModiRegime to nullify the paper exercise of annexation of IoJK...for them Ladakh matters...
proves that the PRC had planned this sometime back and its wasn't some locoal commander getting adventurous... such things don't happen in PLA....anyhow, not at such a scale!!!
Since, the IndianArmy has officially accepted the losses..this means some de-escalation needs to happen and Indians will be pushing for that...
Why?
Because, if the Indians were serious in taking back the Liberated parts of Ladakh it would have done airstrikes already... and not given the PLA time to amass troops near the LAC...
CrystalBallGazing....
one should avoid it... a small miscalculation from either side will result in a far
bigger clash than 1962... with enormus price in men, material and political prestige!
Simply, because a loosing side will be out of The Greatest Game in Town!
The Stakes are
NOT tactical but
Strategic and
ThirdActor related....
look at the MAP!
For now, from
PakPerspective it is wisest to remain a
DetachedStudent and
keep very close feedback-loop with the Chinese...
What is Material Fact that the PLA has Changed Facts on the Ground... and
Indians have defacto accepted some of those Facts...and not the other...and that is what this Peaceful Talks is all about!
