  • NEW DELHI: One year after the Galwan clash, the standoff between India and China continues in eastern Ladakh though partial disengagement has taken place. If Galwan was a game-changer where India gave it back to China, there was another incident 35 years ago when India stood firm and displayed aggressive intent against Chinese intrusion in Arunachal Pradesh. India quickly mobilised troops, just like it did in Ladakh last year, and signalled to the China that it was ready for a fight. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief looks back at what happened in Sumdorong Chu in June 1986.

    You hit the nail on the head - they are bullies. They will attack if they think they are a lot stronger and they will back off if the adversary has an even chance. In one word, they are cowards.

    I still remember when Sumdurung Chu happened. I remember the public differences between General Sundarji and Rajiv Gandhi. General Sundarji was the most daring General Independent Indian Army ever had. He was also the architect of Operation Brasstacks. General Sundarji was the Indian version of General Erwin Rommel. Had he been in charge today we would have recaptured some of the Indian territory lost to China in 1962.

    SSB was the Special Service Bureau now known as the Sashastra Seema Bal.SIB is the Subsidiary Intelligence Bureau, not quite the same as SSB. It was Inspector Pemba Bhutia with whom I served as Medical Officer in SSB's Group Centre in Dirang who first detected the PLA incursion in Sumdorong Chu

    In 1966-67, India very effectively thwarted Chinese misadventure at the Sikkim-China border through Nathula pass which China never expected. Since then Indian military power and fighting spirit were viewed with respect by the Chinese. During the Bangladesh war in 1971, China was coaxed by Nixon and Kissinger to open fronts to weaken India, but China did not venture because the bitter memory of the last confrontation was still fresh in their minds.

India has the world’s largest and most experienced troops trained for high-altitude battles, a military expert affiliated with China’s leading maker of equipment for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has said, adding that mountaineering is an “essential skill” for each Indian soldier deployed in the mountains."

    capabilities by itself is meaningless if there is no political will or desire to use them. India has a superb advantage in high altitude mountain warfare. yet we waste it by constantly talking to the enemy while allowing it time to grow strong. Indian leadership is not even considering recovering Aksai Chin or Kailash Manasarovar. so ... let's not keep fooling ourselves by over estimating our capabilities and under estimating the enemy all the while. we are happy to sell and buy chinese mobile phones in the country.
