Despite the deal with the Chinese to go back to pre-2020 status quo, we shouldn't drop our guard down and continue with our military modernisation. As long as the Chinese occupy Tibet, there never will be peace between India-China.

This is more of a tactical pause , as both cntries know that any conflict will only benefit the 3rd party. This is going to enrage US even more , get ready for more pricks & pinches.
Joint verification of disengagement on, patrolling to start at Depsang soon.Temporary Structures at Depsang, Demchock removed. Physical verification process on.
Some new of photos & videos of PLA receiving some whooping from IA. Date & place of this incident is yet to be ascertained:
It that a naga dao?
It that a naga dao?
Sigh of relief for us! Now we should continue to build our military like we've done since 2020, to thwart PLA when that eventual time comes in the future.
Those photos of our guys being mocked were released because we had detained about 100+ pla in Arunachal Pradesh. Not new at all. Real question is our version of events true for galwan? Were there more pla dead than reported?
5 years since Galwan, how India has fortified border with reforms and roads
Five years since the Galwan clash in 2020 in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed, India has fortified its border defences, overhauled military preparedness, and stepped up diplomacy with China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).The Galwan clash, which saw Indian troops retaliate without firearms under existing protocols, also caused significant casualties on the Chinese side and marked a complete breakdown in trust between the two neighbours.
In the years since, India has significantly restructured its military preparedness, reinforced border infrastructure, and intensified diplomatic engagements. The Indian armed forces enhanced their presence across the LAC, especially in Eastern Ladakh, with rapid deployment of troops and high-altitude warfare equipment. Emergency procurement provisions were invoked to expedite defence acquisitions, including surveillance systems, UAVs, artillery, and medical equipment for extreme terrain.
The Galwan incident became a catalyst for infrastructure expansion. The Union Budget for FY 2025-26 allocated Rs 6.81 lakh crore to the Ministry of Defence, a 9.53% increase from the previous year. Of this, Rs 7,146 crore was set aside for the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), which completed 75 projects worth Rs 2,236 crore in 2024 alone.
These include roads and bridges in strategic regions like Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Himachal Pradesh. BRO's earlier achievements included the world’s highest motorable road at Umling La (19,024 feet) and ongoing development of the Nyoma Airfield and Shinku La tunnel.
The last five years have also seen the LAC’s digital landscape transformed. Remote villages in Ladakh, including Galwan and Demchok, were connected to 4G networks under a joint initiative by the Indian Army and Bharti Airtel. This step opened up access to telemedicine, digital education, and government schemes, with the potential to improve tourism and local livelihoods.
On the diplomatic front, over 30 rounds of talks have taken place since 2020. India and China have conducted 21 rounds of Corps Commander-level discussions and multiple Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination (WMCC) meetings. Disengagement has occurred at several friction points: Galwan in July 2020, Pangong Tso in February 2021, PP17A (Gogra-Hot Springs) in August 2021, PP15 in September 2022, and most recently, at Demchok and Depsang in October 2024.
High-level diplomatic meetings also continued. On June 12, 2025, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri met Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong in Delhi to discuss bilateral ties, people-centric engagement, and reopening direct air services. Talks included progress on resuming hydrological data sharing and finalising an updated air services agreement. Visa facilitation, media exchanges, and commemorations of 75 years of India-China diplomatic relations were also discussed.
Despite partial disengagement, India remains cautious. “Galwan was a turning point,” says Maj Gen Ashok Kumar (Retd), Director General of Centre for Joint Warfare Studies. “It shattered all trust in Chinese political and military leadership. India’s vigilance along the LAC is now permanent.”
India’s response post-Galwan is widely seen as a comprehensive shift—not only in defence and diplomacy but in redefining the strategic calculus of border management. The clash, now etched in national memory, has ensured that preparedness, infrastructure, and international positioning are not reactive but proactive.
Today there is a New Controversy, emanating from a BOOK written by Gen MM Naravane , who was COAS during GALWAN
So those who think we lost territory should see this

Nope. Its from a magazine which selectively picked out an excerpt from unpublished( unverified) book/memoir.
The moron bought social media tactics of narrative warfare to parliament. Pathetic from LoP.
Irrc their IT cell had also tried spreading same narrative with that magazine Op-ed piece with unverifiable alleged excerpt sometimes ago. And were debunked by many folks. Yet this pathetic LoP of ours had the audacity to take a magazine opinion piece to parliament.
The Night India Turned The Tables On China In Ladakh: Understanding The Kailash Range Operation
Excerpts from former Army Chief General Manoj Naravane's unpublished memoir have triggered a political firestorm. The excerpts describe a night in Aug
swarajyamag.com
The new details emerging should put all the naysayers and some hutiyas to rest. The land wasn't given. But taken back.
And the pathetic LoP, once again.. just propoganda to create pressure on Indian side in negotiations. Nothing else.
But the point still remains, that GOI should counter those narratives now. If we took 1000sqkms!!!! Back, it's doing remarkable.
And I read the memoir. Allegedly Rajnath said "Jo uchit hai wo karo"...to aur kya bolenge? Ki goli mat chalo. Idhar tank mat lagao? Is that what some people want?
Is this literally not a free hand given to the army general. Army is mandated to protect our borders. They just got full operational clearance to do the needful.
Am I reading it wrong? Whats all the hoopla about?
Just an attempt to spin that "Jo Uchit hai woh karo" as ditching responsibility. Just usual politics.The Night India Turned The Tables On China In Ladakh: Understanding The Kailash Range Operation

SoreASS funded gandhis and their IT cell ecosystem is amplifying two things
1) Galwan where the Modi said do what is necessary to the army chief as Modi running away from decision ...does this low IQ moron expect Modi to give minute by minute instruction on what speed the tank should run and how many rounds the tank should fire ? ..the only thing an army man expect from political leadership is green signal and that's given ...not sure why BJP is playing in backfoot like losers ...
2) Modi coming in Epstein Files ? even though there was no wrong doing mentioned ...Epstein said he danced to the US president tune and his visit to Israel
Now in both these issues BJP IT cell is doing a pathetic job in countering this ...congress can go to such gutter level of dragging modis name in Epstein files and BJP is still sucking thumbs ...what more provocations is required for BJP to start playing in front foot and expose the most corrupt sold-out dynasty in this world ?

Yep, BJP has a horrible PR department. Both of these issues are mostly nothing burger from a political point of view.
