It's stretegic failure on the Indian side for sitting idle while China built infrastructure around the border region. Now we are playing catch-up. Unless India is able to defend the remaining LAC, and take similar steps by moving into undefended Chinese lands, I think there is no chance that the Chinese are going to step away from DBO anytime soon.

A spineless PM along with his equally incompetent defence minister and foreign minister have just mislead the country on this fiasco right from day one. The Chinese are humiliating us with these well planned incursions along the LAC. The babus in the MOD and MEA have always been under the misconceived notion that our defence forces should never adopt any proactive defence strategies to counter the Chinese for fear of not giving them a face saving non confrontational pullback option. By the looks of things the Chinese are there to stay the best we can do is reinforce our troops there with overwhelming capabilities in form of mobile brigades and attendant on call air support.RajaRajaCholanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-7795490554609631772013-04-29T23:59:28.892-07:002013-04-29T23:59:28.892-07:00During Wangdung India had no agreements with China...During Wangdung India had no agreements with China but for Raki Nalla to happen about three agreements are in place...<br /><br />So far as Chinese perception of LAC is concerned India should also not accepat any thing less than what is published in Indian maps as boundry.. <br /><br />Status quo on ground also suits India as the chinese are not going to give anything by talks or negotiationsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-36169485914455861552013-04-29T23:32:13.410-07:002013-04-29T23:32:13.410-07:00Bravo Ajai.

In the quest for the elusive financial growth sans jobs and only assurances to the "common-man", this party of frauds is cheating Indians. It is repulsive to even think of the meek and abject surrender by our Netas before the Chinese. I don't understand how Indians vote again-and-again for such frauds. There is certainly something wrong with India and Indians. India needs to rattle its nuclear sabres by doing aggressive military training throughout the Chinese border. Keeping the nuke launchers ready even escalate the stakes by successfully implementing the "forward policy". This time, make sure our men and women liberate Tibet from Chinese occupation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-85931825328973495562013-04-29T23:23:22.366-07:002013-04-29T23:23:22.366-07:00hope... this is not... an exercise... like distrib...hope... this is not... an exercise... like distributing... wheel chairs... strechers... to able bodied... persons...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-39085433926389880792013-04-29T22:40:16.070-07:002013-04-29T22:40:16.070-07:00Empty threat, no substance.
