India plans to deploy 100,000 more troops on China border

[aimarraul]

india is more than welcomed to deploy even 1 million more.

The undisputed truths here are:

1. our economy is almost 4 times as big as india's
2. our military budget is about 4 times as big as india's
3. our land size is about 3 times as big as india's

a wise india will never want to be our economy, we are happy to see a stupid india sitting next to us doing this childish thing

so? It is a region in China, the money is from Chinese tax payer's pocket, the armed forces is called Chinese People's liberation army

do U have obsessive compulsive disorder that have to flame in every india or china related thread......

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

you must heard it from Delhi's media Do you have any idea how many soldiers are there in each chinese division.......

The thing is do u yourself know about your own country's army?
The chinese army maintains many things secret from their own people so only through other country's intelligence one can know about your true army's numbers!!!

i know that if 330000 soldiers pee in Yarlung Zangbo River ,it might cause flood in india......

...No, but they are building a dam there. To bring electricity to the region of course.

 

[S10]

Yet they can't beat the Chinese in a pee contest specially PLA... since they can bring floods with their pee... wonder why there's so much flood in China every year... .

Indian tears over 1962 evaporated into the clouds and travelled to China.

 

[Starblazer]

What a solution for electricity generation... appears that you Chinese are so good at peeing.... and your soldiers in PLA are even better..

It's not only great for generating electricity, it's practically an untouchable fortress.

 

[Kylin]

strategically speaking, not really want a war but if China need a war in near future, I'd rather the opponent to be india.

Russia- very strong
vietnam - small, yes, but you do have to respect their guerrilla war experience.
Philippine - defeating them militarily won't do anything but bring negative reputation on us.

 

[Birbal]

Considering the much larger Chinese force along the border, I don't see how anyone can complain about this move.

 

[danger007]

There are two brigades or about 10K soldiers of PLA in Xizang or Tibet.
That's will be enough for the Indians for the time being.

Judging from the military expansionism from New Deli, we may need to enhance our force in Xizang for a little bit.

i think you have alot superiority complex. bezing will never maintain transparency in military procurement.

i think you have alot superiority complex. bezing will never maintain transparency in military procurement.

If it is that, it is entirely misplaced.

I have read about how more than 10000 of them would be "guarded" by a solitary half sleeping Mongol guard in a open park.

Not one would dare to even run away, let alone attack that solitary half sleeping guard.

 

[DARKY]

probably because they had no more room for indian POWs.

now, annother 100k lining up at the border. that is bad news. china has to build camps for much more indian POWs..

Wonder the room went full with just a couple of hundred POWs....
So silly its still the same even after...

Nathu La where Chinese and Indian forces are deployed barely thirty yards apart, closest anywhere on the 4000 km Sino-Indian border and the border remains undemacrated. Chinese hold the northern shoulder of the pass while Indian Army holds the southern shoulder. Two dominating features south and north of Nathu La namely Sebu La and Camel’s back were held by the Indians. Artillery observation post officers deployed on these two features have an excellent observation into Chinese depth areas whereas from Northern shoulder, Chinese have very little observations into Indian depth areas. This factor proved crucial in the clash that ensued. At the time of the clash, 2 Grenadiers was holding Nathu La. This battalion was under the command of Lt Col (Later Brigadier) Rai Singh. The battalion was under the Mountain Brigade being commanded by Brig MMS Bakshi, MVC.e engineers and jawans started erecting long iron pickets from Nathu La to Sebu La along the perceived border while 2 Grenadiers and Artillery Observation Post Officers at Sebu La and Camel’s Back were on alert. Immediately the Chinese Political Commissar, with a section of Infantry came to the centre of the Pass where Lt. Col Rai Singh, CO 2 Grenadiers was standing with his commando platoon. The Commissar asked Lt Col Rai Singh to stop laying the wire. Orders to the Indian Army were clear. They were not to blink. An argument started which soon built up into a scuffle. In the ensuing melee, the commissar got roughed up. Thereafter the Chinese went up back to their bunkers and engineers resumed laying the wire.Within a few minutes of this, a whistle was heard on the Chinese side followed by murderous medium machine gun fire from north shoulder. The pass is completely devoid of cover and the jawans of 70 Field Company and 18 Rajput were caught in the open and suffered heavy casualties which included Col Rai Singh who was wounded. He was awarded MVC later. Two brave officers – Capt Dagar of 2 Grenadiers and Major Harbhajan Singh of 18 Rajput rallied a few troops and tried to assault the Chinese MMG but both died a heroic death.Within half an hour, Chinese artillery opened up on the pass as well as in the depth areas but it was mostly prophylactic fire due to lack of observation and failed to do much damage. Meanwhile we as artillery observation post officers asked for artillery fire, permission for which came a little later. Because of excellent domination and observation from Sebu La and Camel’s back, artillery fire was most effective and most of the Chinese bunkers on North shoulder and in depth were completely destroyed and Chinese suffered very heavy casualties which by their own estimates were over 400. The artillery duel thereafter carried on day and night. For the next three days, the Chinese were taught a lesson. On 14 September, Chinese threatened use of Air Force if shelling did not stop. By then the lesson had been driven home and an uneasy ceasefire came about.The situation again flared up twenty days later when on 1 October 1967 a face-off between India and China took place at Cho La, another pass on the Sikkim-Tibet border a few kilometers north of Nathu La... where a Gorkha chopped off the hands of a Chinese officer who injured one of his fellow Gurkha with is bayonet in a sudden attack while arguing about a stone post on the patrolling area... Despite initial casualties, 7/11 GR and 10 JAK RIF stood firm and forced the Chinese to withdraw nearly three kilometers away to a feature named Kam Barracks where they remain deployed till date. Cho La Pass is firmly in Indian hands. Indian Army had got better of the Chinese yet again.

The 1987 Sino-Indian skirmish was the third military conflict between the Chinese army and Indian army that occurred at Sumdorong Chu Valley,By the early 1980s, while the forces to man the defences were ready, the nodes were not, and the greatest weakness was in the fact that the servicing road network had not been built. The decision was taken to resume the defence infrastructure construction.India's efforts to occupy Thag La was the casus belli for the October 1962 Chinese military attack on India. Because there were no other feasible defensive locations north of Tawang, the government had more or less decided that in the event of a new war, they would abandon the town and prepare for battle at the Se La pass to its east. However, after the 1980 review, it was decided by the military strategists that it was important to defend Tawang in a future conflict,The defence forces stayed through the summer and returned in winter. This procedure was followed for two years. In 1986, Indian forces found that the Chinese had preceded them and set up semi-permanent structures there.In Feb 1986 the army nominated a new chief, General K. Sundarji, who was determined to press the decisions taken by General Krishna Rao. In addition, Sundarji sought government permission to conduct an exercise named Operation Cheaquerboard to see how quickly troops based in the Assam plains could take up their positions on the Sino-Indian border. As part of the exercise, towards the end of the year, the army landed a brigade of troops at Zimithaung, south of Hathung La using its new heavy lift Mi-26 helicopters The exercise involved 10 divisions and several the IAF and a redeployment of troops at several places in North East India. The Indian Army moved 3 divisions to positions around Wangdung, where they were supplied and maintained solely by air. These troop reinforcements were over and above the 50,000 troops already present across Arunachal Pradesh. These forces occupied the Hathung La, across the Namka Chu from Thag La. All this alarmed the Chinese forces in the region; they responded with alacrity and moved up their forces to take up positions all along the LAC. At points near this area-- Sulu La, Bum La, etc. the troops were now face to face with their Indian counterparts. Due to this action Their is a agreement brought in an interesting concept of "mutual and equal" security where thinning of forces was envisaged, based on geographical and logistical considerations. However, its most important element is to have the two sides work out a mutually acceptable Line of Actual Control. As of now the two sides have their own versions of the Line and there are points, especially in the Sikkim-Bhutan-India trijunction, the Sumdorong Chu area and so on where the claims are disputed.

And even after all this Sikkim has been recognized as a part of the Union of India by the CCP govt.... yet some overseas Chinese are crying over the fact and living themselves in 1962 false glories ....
