The ultimate goal of operation Trident in 1962 was, until the Chinese response, to Capture Gilgit and Skardu. The purpose behind the current Indian infrastructure development in the region is same i.e threaten the Chinese Road from Xinjiang to Tibet through the Karakoram pass, which lies at the western end of the Daulat Beg Oldie Road and as well as KKH Highway which is further west and then ultimately Gilgit and Skardu. Now the Chinese have artillery pointed at the Daulat Beg Oldie Road similar to Pakistanis at the Srinagar Leh Road. We help the Chinese and the Chinese help us. If things get hot with the Chinese in Ladakh the Srinagar Leh Road will be closed and then Indians can wait for the Seventh fleet.
