1. Prepare, not provoke, tweak plans on need: India strategy for LAC
Syllabus – GS III
Recent Context – 3 years after the Galwan clash
Backdrop
Ten Indian soldiers, including two Majors, two Captains and six jawans, were detained by the Chinese for almost three days before being handed back after several rounds of negotiations.
Post-Galwan Continuation of Military Tensions
- India has more than 50,000 troops in Eastern Ladakh, with deployment at forward posts throughout the year.
- On the ground, after 18 rounds of military-level talks, India and China have disengaged at five so-called ”friction points”.
India’s Loss at Patrolling Points
- The Chinese intrusions remain at Depsang Plain and Demchok areas.
- As per Intelligence Bureau Report – India had lost access to almost 26 out of 65 patrolling points in Eastern Ladakh due to restrictive or no patrolling by Indian security forces.
- The creation of demilitarized buffer zones where disengagement has taken place leads to “a shift in the border under Indian control”.
- New Delhi must convey to Beijing that these zones are not a resolution of the problem but a step to prevent unintended consequences.
- China is also creating infrastructure, including two bridges on its side of Pangong Lake.
Indo – US Defence Partnership
- Joint Interest of India and USA to contain growing Chinese aggression.
- India comes out as a natural ally for the USA to counter China.
- With China’s belligerence showing no signs of abating, the prospect of a “path-breaking” defence-industrial partnership with the USA is welcome.
Concerns
- No state or corporation parts willingly with precious technology; we must be prepared to pay a significant price.
- Our technical personnel must acquire advanced expertise in arcane disciplines related to diverse fields so that they become future designers and creators – not mere assembles of knocked-down kits.
