Thank you Nitin Sir, for this very informative, easy to understand format presentation of this strategically important issue for all Indians. It is heartening to notice that the Govt of the day has realized the importance of strengthening our border infrastructure especially in facilitating our dedicated military but also in helping the local populations with their daily needs of food, health, education and employment opportunities. It is sad that this has taken 0ver 70 years to dawn on our political leadership about the dire importance of our security, especially in the N\E and the N\W in addition to elsewhere. This is a unique program like none other in getting the critical FACTUAL information. Thanks again Sri Nitin Ji for your efforts. JAI HIND
I Have Full Faith In My Indian Army,Till The Day Our Soldiers Are Standing On The Borders Of Our Country, Enemy Can't Cross That Line. I Fully Agry With Sir That We Have To Double The Speed In Building Road, Communication & Infrastructure In Those Areas.🙏Jai Hind🇮🇳
Nitin ji is my favorite Indian journalist/ military historian of India. Sir, hope you could do a podcast and I would love to even pay a subscription fees for that.
RESPECTED SIR, YOU HAVE COME UP QUITE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL ANALYSIS OF THE TWANG SITUATION. RATHER, AN EYE OPENER.. IN SHORT, WITHOUT BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH, LET US KEEP THE POWDER DRY.WE ARE PROUD OF THE INDIAN ARMY WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE ADVERSARY TO HAVE A FREE GO THIS TIME.WAR MEANS COMPLETE DEATH , DESTRUCTION AND DEVASTATION ACROSS THE BOARD . PRAY TO ALMIGHTY GOD INDIA AND CHINA DO NOT GE EMROILDED INTO THE SAME ONCE AGAIN. IT SHALL BE A UNMITIGATED DIASTER AND CATASTROPHY ALL THE WAY. ONCE AGAIN THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR DIVING INTO THE KNITTY GRITTY OF 1962 WAR AND ITS AFTERMATH. JAI HIND.
It seems the Indian military establishment has not war-gamed the Chinese moves fully, otherwise how is it that Chinese were able to move up the Ridgeline so quickly? The new roads they have built enabled them and in future will allow induction of heavy weapons such as rocket launchers which will decimate our front line. We need to bring in heavy artillery and more troops with heavy guns. More surveillance and better roads. We should occupy land beyond LAC to create a buffer zone.
I don't think the answer is only more troops. I think we need to be putting more pressure on China's economic system. Hey no more free trade if you're just gonna be an asshole all the time China. Much love from America.
The only commentator we follow in strategic issues. Excellent analysis n delivery without hype . Nitin has been an Educator to most Indians on The Himalayas . Thank you , we were in class 9 in 1964 but never knew the true stories n let downs and neglect of our Jawans by Nehru n Keralite commie VKK MENON from my home town. We thank Modiji for giving us back the confidence of living in a secure India . Jai Hind.
I wonder if any one has considered the prospect of a limited, brutal short war before the next elections in India? Xi has his chosen army generals in place in the Pla. Look what happened to Putin with his yes men in the army. Xi will be thinking several times before venturing into Taiwan. If he gets into Taiwan he can not turn back and he can not have a prolonged conflict there, neither can he withdraw without reaching his goal. So my theory is that, to test his own army generals competence and their mettle he is likely to ask them to take on Indian army and prove their worth, having given them all the toys the Pla needs. Based on their performance he will go after Taiwan.
Nitin Gokhale sir, all your programmes are a class in themselves , Congratulations. The main/ core question , perhaps is, how the Chinese like to look at themselves in 21st century and beyond. How should we like to look at China : is it building Socialism with Chinese characteristics or a new design of Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics with the middle Kingdom syndrome!!?? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023. Please take up the changes taking place in the Muslim world, especially in Saudi Arabia, and their impact on the identity of Indian muslims.
HEARD THE NAME RUPA IN THE NEW ROUTE. WE HAD A LOCAL DOG FROM RUPA AND IT WAS NAMED RUPA AND LIVED WITH US FOR 17 YEARS TILL IT GREW OLD AND DIED. MY LATE ELDER BROTHER POSTED THERE LONG BACK WHEN HE WAS IN ARMY IN 27 MADRAS REGIMENT. HE WAS A VERY POPULAR AND DARING OFFICER IN HIS REGIMENT.JONNIES IN HIS REGIMENT LIKED HIM FOR IS REGULAR DARBAR AND SOLVING ALL JONNIES LOCAL PROBLEMS AT HOME ,THAT IS IN SOUTH INDIA .
Can Nitin hold a special presentation to the opposition parties, particularly for Rahul, so that picture will be clearer to everyone. It is strange that Modi Govt is not having discussion on China, particularly when it has nothing to hide or fear. In particular, we must understand that we do not have an agreed border with China. Our 1954 map of India is just a figment of imagination of Nehru and the a huge part of it is not agreed to by China. Nehru lost areas of Aksai Chin etc. considered ours, to China in early 50s itself and after 1962, we are left with whatever area not occupied by the Chinese in Ladakh. Let Rahul know the immense and irrecoverable damage caused by his great grandfather to this country, before he opens his mouth against Modi.
Yes,the government should have detailed public discussion on China and border and how to move forward in future. The general public must be made aware of the situation to stop the misinformation spread by the anti-nationals.
It seems we are always talking about defending territory - whether yangste or Tawang etc. Why are we not planning to occupy key choke points in Tibet to sever Parts of Tibet from China and allow the possibility of a free Tibet in the future.
India just needs to mirror infrastructure build up. We also need to prioritise border villages. Provide free housing and basic infrastructure as close to the border as possible.
India should just take all the fucking land back. That might seem like an extreme opinion, but China is really an asshole. The whole river Delta for that river that provides live to 400 million people... Yeah that's a thing for sure.
@@currentaf8455 within the confines of the Himalayan ranges, yes. The Indian supply lines are within a few hundred kilometers from our industries while the Chinese supply lines are a few thousand kilometers.
Why did the world allow China to annexe Tibet and why did the world refuse japan to annexe Manchuria??? There is no one single, unwavering way. There are double standards being followed that has escalated the risk for wars among nations.
All discussions at Indian side is defensive. If Indian military have any aggressive strategy as well? If the Indian military have same mindset as broader Indian population being only defensive?
When the Chinese encroach the border we are normally at the receiving end and ends up licking the wound. Especially after the Gulwan incident it looks like there was no retaliation for beating up the soldiers and encroaching on the land . Is China so powerful that our govt is scared to order fire on the enemy when it deliberately tries to shame the Indian Military. Yes we have increased the troops and are monitoring the situation in this sector but didn't teach a lesson for their actions.
Time has come to redefine Indians Strategy from defending to, Retaking Ak Chin n Mac mahon line n Kailah range n Now add Kailash peak and demand Tibet to be deseptisised of Chinese rule. All treaties scrapped and Indian borders secured .
I have always viewed your analysis with immense gratitude and respect. The detail you put in is extensive and backed up with good historical and factual oversight. I do have one question about Tawang. While we have beefed up our security do you think China will respect rules during war, why will they not come through Nepal or Bhutan using an excuse or collusion with some Army General. Are we prepared for that aspect to
Anurachal Pradesh is south Tibet. It has no Indian name and only after the British recklessly demarcated as part of British Raj that India claimed as its territory.
Why did the Chinese withdraw from the incursion after the 1962 war? No one has given a reason but you as they were not able to hold their supply lines! Otherwise ppl think that they did that out of their greater heart!
Ur comments come very late on this topic...we expect u will be continued on china related topics....we wait ur comments on china related any conflicts...🙏🙏🙏
I don't think this is the second incident after Galwan. In my opinion small skirmishes between two armies are very common and happen often. And the question arises , why India highlighted this incident. Maybe India was thinking that China is going to have some big misadventure in the region. That is why India has brought this small incident to the attention of the world. So that China cannot do any misadventure in the near future. Now China knows world is watching it closely. Or India wants to humiliate China in front of the world.
You are talking about so many places in Arunachala pradesh, as if everyone understands or supposed to remember while hearing ur monologue in such a monotonous voice.
Dear Army please don’t allow in your deployment we cannot trust anyone, for god sake please don’t entertain anyone they may look patriotic but they get sold please please stop this
The truth about India China border issue lies somewhere in between the views expressed by 2 channels: Force magazine & Stratnewsglobal. Force gives a gloomy pic about India's strategy whereas Stratnews gives very positive pic.
What good is such analysis? This problem of the Yang Tse (sp?) has been recurring for ages. Year after year the problem has existed and in 2022 (a week from 2023) Nitin is asking "What should India do"? Cheap and silly. It is a massive failure on the part of GoI and the Indian Army.
I'm happy that you're going back to 'Simply Nitin'. To be honest, I didn't like the format of 'Ask Nitin' and wished you would go back to the old format. However, you must continue to ask viewers to send in their questions and answer those like you did in this episode.

Thanks BRO and Indian Army India not only diffensive offensive also done support free Tibet
Nitin Sir always give precise explanation on defence issues as he was in the north-east area for 23 years as Journalist. Thank u Nitin ji

If Chinese could do that. Do you they will fight with sticks? History always overestimates communists
I agree. The GOI must be very assertive and aggressive in dealing with the Chinese who only understand when you clobber them very badly and bloodily.
China should be dealt with iron hand. We must occupy Chinese land. We must pay them back in the same coin. Revenge is the best solution.
I don't think the answer is only more troops. I think we need to be putting more pressure on China's economic system. Hey no more free trade if you're just gonna be an asshole all the time China. Much love from America.
Very clearly explained.... Thank you very much!

india should invade and annex Tawang.
Thank you for sharing the info.
great analysis as always!

I will come on video for question sessions

What about Mansarovar? Isn't it holy. Can we take it over. Is that a justification

Simply Nittin is a better choice sir.
My high salutations to your Dharma..
Where & how do I find lt.gem. Santa I Dayal’s article on Tswana or Why Tswana that u have mentioned in ur podcast?

Nitin Sir I always wish u Happy New Year
Well covered Nitin... Have to keep up Army presence and then talk to them..
Good evening Sir
It seems we are always talking about defending territory - whether yangste or Tawang etc. Why are we not planning to occupy key choke points in Tibet to sever Parts of Tibet from China and allow the possibility of a free Tibet in the future.
Exactly. We must occupy Chinese land. We are way too defensive. This has been our problem for centuries. Sad and unfortunate.
It is fact that china has much stronger machinary ( technically + numerically )and larger force ( numerically) so better is to defence,
In 1962 war , being aggressive was our major mistake because we adopt agressive policy without proper supply chain
Good 👋
Super excellent explanation I have heard so far 🎉🎉
Isn’t “Yangste” a chinese name ? I am sure that place has an Indian name - why can’t we use our own names ?
India just needs to mirror infrastructure build up. We also need to prioritise border villages. Provide free housing and basic infrastructure as close to the border as possible.
India should just take all the fucking land back. That might seem like an extreme opinion, but China is really an asshole. The whole river Delta for that river that provides live to 400 million people... Yeah that's a thing for sure.
Can a 5tn$ economy really mirror a 15tn$ economy ?
@@currentaf8455 within the confines of the Himalayan ranges, yes. The Indian supply lines are within a few hundred kilometers from our industries while the Chinese supply lines are a few thousand kilometers.

Srtoous development of NCC in all states a must n paid Home Guard duty compulsory .

Why alternative road to twang is not yet taken up sir; having known it's strategic importance?
Time has come to redefine Indians Strategy from defending to, Retaking Ak Chin n Mac mahon line n Kailah range n Now add Kailash peak and demand Tibet to be deseptisised of Chinese rule.
All treaties scrapped and Indian borders secured .
Always waiting for your weekly episodes with eagerness

Instead of two there must be two battalion on each side ie western and eastern side of the road connecting tawang with Assam for easy operability.
👌👍
Anurachal Pradesh is south Tibet. It has no Indian name and only after the British recklessly demarcated as part of British Raj that India claimed as its territory.
Also, why didn’t the Indian Air Force deployed in the 1962 war as it was superior?!🤔
Waiting for Simply Nitin
Can india build pressure on aksai chin TERRITORY to relieve pressure built in eastern border
No.....We simply don't have the military capability and political will to do so
Aqiss And Family 🎓
Why did the Chinese withdraw from the incursion after the 1962 war? No one has given a reason but you as they were not able to hold their supply lines! Otherwise ppl think that they did that out of their greater heart!
Defensive India cannot take on aggressive China. Will India ever be aggressive? Why is India a soft state? Why don't we occupy Chinese land? Why? Why?
❤🎯🌼
Ur comments come very late on this topic...we expect u will be continued on china related topics....we wait ur comments on china related any conflicts...🙏🙏🙏
What about our strategy in the East Arunachal Pradesh? That doesn't get reported often...
True
I don't think this is the second incident after Galwan. In my opinion small skirmishes between two armies are very common and happen often. And the question arises , why India highlighted this incident. Maybe India was thinking that China is going to have some big misadventure in the region.

Or India wants to humiliate China in front of the world.
Wasn't JP dalvi commander of the IV corps in 1962 ?
He was the Brigade Commander. Above him were the Division Commander and then the Corps Commander.
Sir, why don't we try to occupy aksai chin,that had been invaded by china in 1962.
Isn't the fact that the Dalai Lama can reincarnate in Tawang another factor that Chinese are worried about?

Indian talk tough always talk of war against China? Don’t talk want war do it n find out how good ur military power
It’s part of India. That’s it.
Entire Himalayas, Kilash belongs to India

Why Indian Army move forward and Capture Tibet and form Tibet as it formed BanglaDesh
You don't to talk about Hindutva violence in Manipur and other minority groups. Instead you study and talk about China that is none of your business
follow you close
but if you do not keep a good map and asset placement you are speaking to a limited audience and the rest are lost to idiocy
Such a dry boring monologue.
If Nehru era could have focused more on border infra we could have matched with xi poo infra build up
