Doing It Right: Takeaways For India From Ladakh Standoff
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- LEH: With disengagement at the north and south banks of Pangong Tso completed, the Corps Commanders of India and China began the 10th round of talks earlier today to discuss other friction areas. The disengagement came nine months after the Chinese aggression along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. Although India was surprised in the beginning, it quickly got its act together and matched the Chinese deployment. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale describes the key takeaways for India since the standoff began in May last year.

excellent
Take a Bow 💞 could you please clarify why such Intel lapse happen in the 1st place and how to fix it in the future, explain if it's not confidential, thanks 🇮🇳
I have & I wish you guys all success!👍
Quality journalism that never fails to impress. How I wish even 3% Indian news media was this professional and hard-working.
Sir I request you to make a piece of the arunachal village by China. Lots of misinformation being spread on watsapp
Happy to hear the Chinese's commander word " I'm tiered both physically and mentally"😄. May be they thought an easy walkover..
Proud of Indian Army..
Meanwhile the Indian soldier, wtf we haven't even started, you should come to Siachen sometime 😂😂
@@doncorleone3901 Indian media did not tell you that Indian troop must and already move back to finger 2, giving you a fake impression that India troop standstill.
@@madeinchina1450 we stand still from too long,
And moreover we have a choice to watch media other then regular outlet,
You don't even have a choice for that go eat a bat 🦇,
Excellent journalism, fantastic episode. For sure I will support this kind of journalism. Jai hind
Further to add Galvan incident has now totally altered rules of engagement with PLA kinetically
Rightly said 🙌
Along with the Indian armed forces the political leadership's role needs to be appreciated also.
The soldier is most lethal and motivated when he is with his battalion, his buddies. Trouble with 1962 was the sparse deployment, period. Today u have 90k soldiers out there. They don't want to come back really without drawing some b1ood
In 62 there was a vacuum of political leadership along with no planning and material support.
the main point is that inn 1962 india nvr thought that china would invade , there was always a single slogan("hindi-china are bros")
Nitin, please do a show on Indian army sacrifices or the Walong war. Please report it from Walong. This will bring in more concern on the struggling infrastructure scenario there. Also, the latest intrusions by PLA in the Lower Dibang valley and our subsequent infrastructure lapses. This will put focus on infra and maybe speed up the infra works on the ground !
Nitin, I am a very old soldier who has lived as a Major at Bomdila, Sela and Nuranang in 1965-66 and again in 1976.
What we do to keep fit need not be 'taught' to the Chinese through our presentations such as this. These things were learnt by us by trial and error in our time. Then (65-66 ) the concept of acclamatizarion hadn't even been thought of. I came back from an Army course at Mhow and next day from the rail head got into a truck to take me to 15000 feet directly. For next six seven days, just moving around would get me out of breath. We paid the price to learn to exist there.
Let the Chinese too learn the hard way after they pay their price.
Your presentation was good. Please keep in view what I said if you feel convinced enough. Thanks.
Well said sir
The Chinese move was preplanned. I feel it was the work of some middle level commanders who wanted to boost their career. The plan was based on their past experiences. So these planners are to be found in middle level officers who have been serving in the area in the past. Transfers, heads rolling may shed some light who planned this adventure. Despite innumerable meetings Shi failed to assess Modi correctly. The mistake is due to the Chinese national character of looking down on all non Chinese cultures with contempt .
I also think the same mistake was responsible for the farmers agitation. The Chinese should get adjusted to resolve, patience and statesmanship.
... respect sir..jai hind.🇮🇳
Respect and Jai Hind Sir 🇮🇳 Thank you for your service.
Respect sir for your service in Army. Jai Hind.
I stopped watching national interest of the print in between and ran here ❤️
That episode was more of anti-national interest.
Just because of people like you that I still have little faith in modern-day Journalism!
There's a lesson - China can't fight pro-long wars. Similar experiences were seen in Korean War, Vietnam War, Ladakh Standoff.
More you hold them in war zone, more they will be willing to get away..
As Former U.S President Ronald Reagan One Said "Peace Through Strength".Now To Its time to increase our strength more
Sir U were supposed to tell us How india got to know about This Chinese incursion first ? 😅😅
I am surprised to know that the Chinese soldiers were tired. After reading the lectures of FM P Sawhney, I thought the PLA is the strongest armed force in the Galaxy.
He is pessimistic but we can't reject him saying this. His analysis has elements of truth in it.
@@nikhilchaubey7 no doubt that there is some truth in his version.
@@sayanji123
Sawhney has one single ambition in life denigrate and down play the Indian military.I read two of his articles. I no longer waste my time.
👍👍🙂 loved your Ladakh coverage over the last 8-9 months....
I am proud of our Army, Airforce and Navy. Great job done and in progress. Cheers to all known and unknown heroes who kept our soldiers safe and hopes alive.
Big difference was that India had experience of fighting and camping in those harsh conditions (courtesy of having Pakistan as a neighbor).
Chinese soldiers haven’t been battle hardened and it’s definitely possible that they got mentally exhausted.
BUT this is the kind of experience they need few times. So let’s not underestimate them. They will do that few more times, eventually either learn to train their soldiers for such condition or will come up with technologies to supplement their soldier’s shortcomings.
They are not fools. Next time they will be more prepared.
That’s the problem of being a defensive player. We have to wait 365 days a year for Chinese to make incursions. They only have to try and encroach only when they feel like. Eventually they will build enough expertise to be successful in such incursions.
So we have bought some time. It’s very important to use this time to develop infrastructure and economy FAST.
Take it for granted that they will try it again and will improve in their approach everytime they try.
Only when we become a bigger economic and military power than China, we can do the same (try encroaching on their territory).... unfortunately we are several decades behind China.
But while Chinese wait and adapt, use that time to reduce the gap in infrastructure and technology.
@Metallus Zorax Kargil was a war like effort. So there are pilots and soldiers currently in Indian Air Force and army that have actually fought in a real battle.
Experience is also needed in area of logistics. India has been manning siachen glacier for several years and knows what kind of training is needed for soldiers to acclimate to such environments.
But yeah, since Kargil there hasn’t been much action. But as I said, experience is not just shooting bullets .... it’s about logistics, planning etc for a real battle, which China has none .... and Pakistan has literally lost every time it has been in a battle that lasted more than a day.
Our Pappu Congressis, Andolanjeevis, Indians Pappu supporters ,our minorities by electing them, have ALways Kept Ourselves On 🔖Continuous Fear .
IModi always Gives us Hope, Pride, Courage, Confidence.
He spreads his own aura of invincibility on all over Indians.
Our Youth is More confident and Not fearful of China .
Modi made it possible for us.
cool story bro . . .
I also have a story for you, inside stuff and you can use your resources to check it out. Here is the story the Chinese are telling you with their video, that does not make sense to you, because obviously your brave military and their version that may never be questioned.
The Video first shows, Indian tents being setup and being confronted by unarmed Chinese troops. Then you see a large number of Indian troops in riot gear with shields and sticks crossing the river and once again being confronted by unarmed Chinese troops with out even helmets. These soldiers are badly outnumbered and beaten by Indians and these are the 4 deaths. Indian military always at its best when outnumbering unarmed people.
You then see the night sequence where the Chinese reinforcements arrive for a revenge raid. There are no causalities here on the Chinese side. Your Brave hearts left their dead and wounded and ran all the way back to Mohdi's bosom.
The last sequence you see is the day light sequence, is the injured colonel who was out numbered and beaten by your so called soldiers during the negotiations that morning.
Here is the true magnitude of your shame.
Sorry such North border focus you suggest is exactly what china wants India to do - so as to lose focus on the Indian ocean region. Instead India should now redouble focus on the south - ocean region
When are you revealing the story where indian intelligence accidentally found chinese incursion, that you divulged on print channel. Eagerly waiting...!
Maybe he would come up with a book on that
Video shows indian soldiers crossed the line and firstly attacked Chinese Commander
tang NONSENSE....
Hey @Jacky Chan, just bring that propaganda video of yours to your Brainwashing communists schools to teach your next gens your Bullshit!!!
@@jackytang3683 okay!! Batsoup
China had got a glimpse of India's new posture in Doklam and now again in Ladakh. These could easily be feelers for something much bigger and we should prepare accordingly. Our biggest drawback at the moment is lack of armed drones and suitable drone-portable munitions.. DRDO has let us down very badly on this despite decades of tinkering.
Jai hind indian army and salute to you Nitin sir for such a wonderful journalism
Hats off 👍to you Nitin sir ....always waited coverage over Ladakh since may .
We are waiting to reveal that how Chinese incursion stated.As you told in The Print discussion.
There must be a cost applied on China for this misadventure.
You are doing an excellent job.Can you start a program to help ex-servicemen and family as NGO as a token of appreciation from general public.
1. My guess is that China intends to develop artificial covered cities across Ladakh with air links to extend the reign of CCP. Galwan valley may have been a potential target real estate a la SCS. 2. There is intense interest in India about the Galwan clash site and Ladakh and Kargil. India should develop these areas for tourism like the NE.
I would suggest 1.a permanent large military base be stationed in Ladakh 2.the long border from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh be monitored by drones constantly, 3. Maintain and establish more mountain posts as possible all along the Tibet border, 4. Stop all trade and investments with china until and unless every kilometer of the Tibet border is finalised.5. Develop nuclear missiles that can strike all parts of china from land, sea n air.
1. Large military garrisons exist all along China border right up to Arunachal Pradesh.
2. Physical monitoring exists however drones will add to the efficacy of the surveillance grid.
3. Posts exist all along however you can't keep 100% of mountain border physically occupied.
Hats off Indian Army!
Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Jai Hind! ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Nice episode....u provide very fine aspect of INDIAN ARMY about which random person cant think.....
Fekuji and scamgress both parties kindly built infrastructure along the Chinese border .....
Good naratives in simple clear and only facts said. Kudos to you.
Very good analysis of the actual ground scenarios.
Thanks a lot
Outstanding! You have outshined all by miles!
Excellent journalism and reporting from Ladakh
4:29 OMG !!! I can imagine how difficult it must be for army men to go with "NO ALCOHOL NO SMOKING" lol
Good job to the medical kor for looking after the Jawans.JAI HIND.👍
Heart-warming to see the discipline of buddy-care regimen of Indian Army that kept the whole deployment indefatigable.
Wonderful analysis. Clinical. Need journalists like Mr Nitin in every field. Qualified and knowledgeable. Passionate and yet detached. By the way hats off to OUR government for doing what they did. Best wishes
You can say India didn't budge so Chinese are de-escalating at borders, BUT I would say "They want to do, So does"...this is going to be a temporary one, As China facing increased Pressure on South China sea, and Taiwan issue with US, it decided to
" De-escalat" at Himalayan border. What India need to do?? If India feel " Ohh the Hell is gone let's take a break" that's not going to help. India needs A CALCULATED OFFENSIVE strategy, where right from now we need to ADAPT same CHINESE PLAY BOOK. Occupy border areas and give China pressure simultaneously when China is under pressure from US and bring China to the negotiating table...
What's this Human Issue with high altitude ???
Why can't they survive ???
The Indian Armed Forces destroyed the Exaggerated invincibility myth of the Chinese soldier at Nathu La in 1967. Thankyou Gen Sagat the Grinders, Gunners & Sappers. This destruction was completed in detail when the Vietnamese gave them a bloody nose in 1968. I remember studying that for my promotion exam. Our MEA were the timid lot who would willingly accept chinese "slaps"" admonishments and kicks and continue to bray " hindi chini bhai bhai"( worth reading Arun Shourie). Fortunately we now have JAISHANKER as Foreign Minister . A hawk who will not take any nonsense from anyone. As a soldier I admire the Border Roads, locals , Air Force, The Q staff , Medical and ofcourse the frontliners. My unit was there around Maj Shaitan Singh's resting place. Not a single cas due to terrain & weather conditions. I do not know about PTSD.
Very nice analysis. Feather in cap; Indian Armed forces kudos to you. Well co ordinated efforts of civilian and military leadership and jointned between them was amazing. Special efforts by logistics division of armed forces are overwhelming. We, as a nation, are grateful to you. 👍💪♥️
India did well to deter China. Similarly, thanks to Chinese leadership - for taking India seriously. China - thanks for this mature approach of realising that India is not a pushover. No stupid actions happened eventually.. from either sides. Indian Army & PLA- both deserve a bow. Thanks to both sides for averting a military actions in ecologically vulnerable high Himalayan region.
Thank you Nitinji for such detailed and analytical reporting. Proud of Indian defense forces 🙏
You have the best understanding of logistics in the media. I also found you to be an intuitively strategic thinker from the interview by Jyoti Malhotra (PRINT). Other than reminding India that it better not spend too much on its Navy (as part of the QUAD), China's objective was to humiliate Modi as you had intuitively figured out. China (and the general public) have a fascination for Sun Tzu based theatre (soldiers brandishing machete on top of sticks) and that kind of thinking might have led to the attack.
Salute to Indian Army ... 🙋♂️. They have made every patriotic Indian proud. All the sickularists will try to defend China action yet Modiji has shown to the world India won't tolerate Bully behavior. I wonder how chinese people are allowing Xian Ping to continue. So called world power can't even admit death of their soldiers dream of ruling the world. A face saving door was shown to the Chinese. At least they won't dare now to staple Jammu Kashmir passports. Taiwan and Tibet are next in line. I think now our NSA Ajit Doval would go for jugular and settle the boundary issue once for all times.
You guys doing great journalism, keep the good work . I am sure more people will support you . Jai Hind ,Jai Dev
Nitin talked garbage on Chinese soldiers. China has shown ten times the demobilization capability compared to Indian side so they could come back 10x faster if India armed forces try to play dirty tricks again. Nitin forgets to mention that it was Indian side that started the adventurous uncalculated attack to the Chinese side by the infamous Colonel B Santosh Babu who just arrived 2 days ago at the border. The result? He and 2 soldiers were killed and 17 Indian soldiers jumped into the freezing river then died of freezing cold temperatures ( Indian side didn't have the hospital or helicopter). 10 more Indian soldiers were captured and were returned the next day. PM Modi admitted that the Chinese side didn't cross the border. Indian media immediately declared that the Chinese side lost twice as many soldiers because the Chinese kept silent. Last week the Chinese Ministry of Defense released the video of the clash at Galwan valley on 15th June 2020 and declared the loss of 4 soldiers. India should learn from the Chinese to keep the clash low key and not blew it up out of proportion. Apparently Indian media didn't find it embarrassing that the attack was led by a stupid Colonel who just wanted to show off but lost his life and 19 other soldiers.
China’s goal is to prohibit Indian troops from crossing the line claimed by China in 1959. India wants to restore the situation of April 2020, when Indian troop could still do the patrolling. The result of this conflict and 10 rounds of negotiations is, Indian troops stay west of the Chinese 1959 line, no more patrol across the line. So you tell me what Indian has gained and what Chinese had lost?
Sir if possible could you provide a article along with the video for analysis of such issue ....??
The Chinese army and CCP basically wanted to gain something without losing anything. They were first of all shocked by the loss of 45 or more of their soldiers in the Galwan Valley clash. Secondly, they were not planning to stay at these high altitudes right through the winter and probably lost more of their soldiers to altitude sickness and hypothermia.
Moreover, their supply lines were stretched over several thousand km from mainland China to Ladakh.
The cost in terms of life and treasury were probably way beyond what they anticipated.
The lesson for India I guess is to make the cost of adventurism very very high for our enemies such that they will think many many times before attempting to grab Indian territory.
Nitin ji ,we are proud of you, giveing us update situation of ladakh. We salute to our Army for their dedecated service to safeguard the nation.our Army is one of the best army in the world. Nitin ji,we also salute to you, visiting such areas and awear us about ground report. Thanks.may god bless you and keep you in good health
5 Dislikes... Seems like 5 Chinese have viewed the video... 😂😂😂
How does Indian army administration structure works in war like scenario like standoff. For ex 1 div is of 10 k strength and 1 core will have 30 k, now in this case were 3 core got deployed or how ?
Googly, continued talking, so the Chinese can copy our strategy.
Why do we take pride in spelling out our strategic plans to the world ,nowhere in other parts do we see the civil media announcing military strategies like in India ,this should be stopped ,during Kargil n 26/11 the enemies knew every move we were making thanks to the media
An excellent summary!!
No weather-related casualty in nine months is a stupendous achievement indeed!
Detailed info on how weather related health situations was handled. Kudos to IA
Sir I'm glad you mentioned about our beloved soldiers on the high mountains, we want to know more about them ,and your video was simply Super and wait for more videos about our solders
Apologies but All what you said is pretty much known to us. Tell us what should be done to make the scenario better?
We salute the Indian brave hearts as our heros.
Every time I hear something about the face off with the Chinese in those inhospitable terrains in severe winter months
I never hesitate a moment to raise my hand in respectable salute.
Now it has become my habit to remember them in my morning and evening prayers and salute them seeking God to take care of our heroic brothers wherever they are deployed for duty.
God bless you all.
Vande Matharam.
Bharath Matha ki Jai
Jai Hind.
Why is this guy gloating about the chinese?? Really these people should not be kept in the loop as they blurt out stuff without understanding the consequences of what they say? They should be given a lesson about keeping face of your adversary after resolution, so that next time around you can negotiate in good faith.
Depsang plain me hume 2013 k pahle ki condition bahal karani chahiye. Kyunki suna hai ki kuch area me waha Indian army ko 2013 se gasht nahi karne diya jata hai.
Chinese strategy- when u can disturb india from inside u don't need forces to attack from outside
Should this information not be kept Confidential?
Massive to confirm not a single casualty due to weather or health. Shows how robust our mens at borders are. At the same time, I heard Chinese kept rotating troops daily as they were not able to cope with the weather.
The leson is that India is much more powerful than India itself and the world had thought itself to be
He should not say all these things , on the media its the achievement of forces its their secret and they should keep it
Yes, armed forces has made India proud but it seems China will certainly bounce back so India need to be very proactive at northern front of country.
Way to go @Nitin and @StratNewsGlobal
Nitin is the best reporter as compared to mainstream media's so called straegists. Keep it up Nitin. Tumhala bhetayla avdel.
Great Job
Nitin Ji
Apko Pranam.
Spoken truly by a true patriot! 👍👍
Best Defence Analyst in India.
Simply Nitin is Simply Superb
Excellent works done by our Arm forces
Wonderful comments
It will be to early to say that Chinese are fade away, after a period we will realize that are doing something else.
Don't disengage then.
Proud on Indian Army 🙏
Good analysis thanks
Are you teaching the chinese how they can avoid death next time? Why do common public need this detailed information?
Absolutely this thought did occur in my mind to
If you think that China doesn't know these things you are mistaken.
Salute to soldiers🙏
Jai Hind 👍🏻❤❤❤❤❤
we had kambal parade in school. ah the good old days
Good analysis
Love you sir
Well said...
Hope this sends a message is to the quislings in Pindi.
Bharat mata ki jai!!! Jai Hind!!! We are victorious!!!!
As victorious as your Covid battle.
@Sherizawa Tamao uninspiring insult。。。wumao is way better than you
Jai Hind 🙏
👏🏼👏🏼
Excellent on ground objective reporting. well done Nitinji.
We always eagerly waited for your updates for last 9 months
The biggest gain will be in terms of the time that India will get to establish permanent supportive Infrastructure all along the LAC. as also upgrading of weapons platforms in terms of future Hi tech non contact warfare. This may also force the Pak army to give up any thought of a Misadventure with India - at least in the near future.
Thank you Nitinji for the wonderful video that summarizes the hard work of our Armed Forces during these months. Hats off to them, as always, for rising to the occasion. There are no words that can describe my sincere gratitude 🙏.
I have always appreciated your videos, your knowledge of the developments happening are appreciated. Please take this to be a humble sign of gratitude for all that you have done. 🙏
As a sidenote, I had to slow down the video in order to read the do's and don'ts 😁😁😁 hope someone else does it as well.
At the end, we know this is not the end, but sure is a happy ending, atleast for now as our Armed Forces keep on guarding our frontiers as we all sleep with comfort in the confines of our homes with our loved ones. Jai Hind to you Nitinji and our brave soldiers!
!!!
🙏
Sir u haven't answered how Indian troops (ITBP OR INDIAN ARMY) detected Chinese intrusion in indian territory
Do not agree on the Chinese soldier being 10 feet tall comment. Soldier account in 62 and there after has been exemplary.
Kudos to army. I pray for them. I pray for PM. Though I do not want to curse Nehru family, yet utterences of pappu make me to curse.
