Time not to believe Chinese

History seems to be repeating itself. In 1962, Chinese first entered Galwan valley and after initial withdrawal, they attacked India after three months in Ladakh and on Eastern Borders. India was stabbed in the back on one side with the daily announcements of “Hindi Cheeni Bhai Bhai” over loud speakers on borders and showing false friendly overtures on political front. Political leadership in India was made to believe that China believes in peaceful co-existence. Chinese leadership, whether it was Mao-Tse-Tung or Chou-En-Lai, they both had same expansionist agenda and dreams of Chinese supremacy and now Xi Jinping is following the same dream and same tactics of first, friendly overtures and then stabbing in the back.

Chinese tactics of coming face to face with Indian soldiers with machetes should not be taken lightly or their foolishness. it seems to be a calculated move to gauge the Indian reaction and to force them to use fire power to push them back. It would give PLA the leverage to blame India to have forced the Chinese to react with force and use heavy weapons against India and declare war.

Indian Army has taken initiative to occupy features overlooking Chinese camp which has acted as an irritant for PLA which if they do not retake, will loose face in front of their adversaries and the others as a Regional power.

India should not lower its guards and loose advantageous position on strategic heights. It should not withdraw from present tactical positions under any circumstance.

China should remember that Indian Army is now well prepared to give PLA a befitting reply in case of any misadventure by them.
