Chinese troubles at LAC which they Indirectly are Admitting for speedy Disengagement


Chinese Army in the Himalayan Cold Temperatures.

The onset of winter brought in cold 0f -40 degrees Celsius which scared the Chinese and they rushed proposal to disengage at LAC. The Chinese troops who came for a so called ‘exercise’ in April and stayed along to march across the LAC for a tiny bit of glory but met an iron fist. Their Galwan River valley clash left scores dead on their side including 20 dead on Indian side. That taste of blood was not palatable to the Chinese High Command. They felt their prestige has been compromised with the losses. They moved troops on useless Pangong Lake, about 7-9 kilometres and tiny move to prevent Indian troops from patrolling in Hot Springs and very strategic area closer to Korrakaram. Chinese felt that they have outflanked the Indian positions and were very happy. 

On the night of August 29/30, a major Indian operation grabbed many strategic heights in Chusul sector on Kailash Range. It surprised the hell out of the Chinese and they rushed their newest little tanks to the area but were confronted by heavies of the Indian Army. Chinese quickly beat a hasty retreat. ......... 

Now the meetings of the commanders which from Chinese point of view were a low key affair, suddenly acquired importance. With Indian troops on heights with  Chinese troops in plain sights was a bad position. Moreover with the arriving winter and -40 degrees, Chinese General Staff was very nervous. They rushed proposals after proposals to disengage. Indian troops if not comfortable but were in an alright position to stay in the cold. They had learnt about the cold in Siachen Glacier. Those 1 to 6 Commander’s meet over the summer time was waste of time but 7 & 8 with the onset of winter became very important. Chinese proposals to disengage were being discussed. The only reason Chinese were there, was mainly India capturing strategic heights and threatening their supply line and onset of winter.  The mellowed Chinese were making workable proposals and Indians were listening. That overconfident Chinese were not confident anymore due to the foregoing reasons. A breakthrough is expected soon.

Tunnels in Shimla

  Tunnels in Shimla Shimla’s life-line is the Cart Road is also known as the Circular Road. Both commerce and pedestrians follow this pathway. Built around 1860 from Kalka to Shimla to move the government from Kolkata to Shimla each year, it had also become the life-line for commerce and people. Although the road begins at Kalka but only the area around Shimla is called the Cart Road, but it continues all the way to Shipki Pass at the China border with road designated as NH22. It was widened from its initial 20 feet width, several times during 1860 to 1920 period up to Shimla. Beyond that, it remained this 20-foot route until around the 1950s. It was later extended and made motorisable. The construction of this road was no easy task because the mountains and their spurs stood on the path. Mules, horse-drawn carriages and bull-drawn carriages require a level road and gentle incline. This was only possible if the road went along the contours of the mountains. Once completed, it bro...

Lies what China Perpetuate

  Chinese Propaganda War on India and Others. After the Chinese lost the battle of LAC to India in August 29/30, when India occupied Kailash Heights in Ladakh, the Chinese launched their propaganda offensive. They were unable to get the height(s) vacated hence propaganda was the only battle tactic they were left with. Their English language mouthpiece The Global Times was one of the key weapon. Furthermore, they have built an enormous network of influence in western media by spending an average of $10 billion a year over the past 10 to 12 years to get their point of view, no matter how false, broadcast or printed. In the past six weeks, there have been four glaring examples, three against India and one against Australia. 1. It was a surprise that a respected London media outlet, "The Times," wrote an outright lie that the Chinese were using a "direct energy weapon" (microwave) at the LAC to chase Indian troops from the hills. The report was denied by the forward Ind...

 The West Asian QUAD and China  It is comprised of four countries: the United States, India, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The name West Asian QUAD is poorly chosen. In fact, this is an International Forum on Economic Cooperation also known as I2U2. It has American blessings, but no formal declaration. Israel capitalized on the warming of relations with some Arab countries and with American blessings invited India, the great power of the region, to participate also. See the parallel of US policy of 1950s when US in West Asia and South East Asia created Baghdad Pact, later called Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) and South East Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO). They were military agreements to prevent a Soviet takeover of the countries of West, South and East Asia. Nothing like this happened and John Foster Dulles, the American master of these pacts, died in 1958 and later his ideas were abandoned. The new grouping is purely economic in nature and protects only the ec...
