India and China, the two nations with nuclear weapons in their arsenal once again facing the conflict at their LAC.
Unlike the border between the other two countries elsewhere in the world, India and China do not share the actual border at the Kashmir region, they have what it called Line of actual control or LAC. And it is to be noted that LAC is the reason the two nuclear-capable neighbours face conflict at their border several times.
Lack of actual border at the region, security forces from both sides often cross the border for patrolling which is claimed by the other counterpart hence igniting the face-off between two forces.
The recent strife caused after when Indians started to develop infrastructure by making a road in the disputed land. After the bustling of Indian troops, Chinese troops started patrolling in the Indian professed area and when stopped by the Indian army they start fighting but without using weapons.
Every time, the dispute compromises after the lieutenant level conversations so on the 6th of June after a diplomatic meeting between lieutenant of both sides, it was decided Chinese troops will de-escalate.
Later after a few days, the Chinese army started de-escalating but on the 14th of June the Chinese army made their camp on Indian claimed land near the Galwan Valley area. On the 15th of June, Colonial Suresh Babu and his team went there for inspection but Chinese military troops started fighting with nailed sticks and baseball bats.
After the violent skirmish 20 Indian soldiers including colonial Suresh Babu martyred and according to reports, the Chinese side suffered 43 casualties including death and seriously injured.
In an article by the newspaper Washington Times, it was stated that Yang Jianli, a former Chinese military official, and son of a leader in the Chinese Communist Party claims that more than 100 Chinese soldiers were killed in the conflict on 15th of June.
After martyrs of Indian soldiers, the Indians are in resentment and asking for a fully-fledged war with the Chinese army, but two nuclear countries generally avoid war, because they know they can completely destroy each other and ‘Cold War’ between The Soviet Union and America is an example that two countries with nuclear weapons didn’t go for a full-fledged war.
The Indian government aggressively and diplomatically encompassing the Chinese government in other sectors. Recently the Indian government banned 59 Chinese applications and ended several contracts and assaulted the economy of China.
