what happened in galwan valley????
Hi, friends today u gonna know about “what’s happening between India and china borders”? as we know that the tensions between India and China are not new. This is not the first time to get into a war it was started since 1962. The two countries which share the world’s longest unmarked border fought a full-fledged war in 1962. as you all have an idea about this Sino-Indian war, at that time china emerged victoriously. This was the thing that happened in 1962 and we all well known about this…
And after 50 years later, now in 2020 the big question that arises in everyone’s mind is do India and china conflicts create a war atmosphere???
Before going on to that topic we need to know what happened on June 15-16 in galwan valley. On 15 June, Indian and Chinese troops clashed for six hours in a steep section of a mountainous region in the galwan valley. 20 Indian army soldiers were killed in Galwan valley border fight which lies along the line of actual control.
What is meant by line of actual control?
Before knowing this we need to know some basics about borders, there are three main terms namely,
1.Borderline in the sense a” boundary which separates two countries”.
For example:
If we take 2 countries India and Pakistan there is a border between India and Pakistan, this borderline is correctly drawn between two countries. The name of that respective border is known as Radcliffe Line. It is also known as “international border “and its total length is 3,323km.
2.line of actual control: demarcation line that separates Indian-controlled territory from Chinese-controlled territory in the Sino-Indian border dispute. In simple words, we can say that china occupied some space in India and they are not moving from that place, and up to where the both country’s army having access is known as the line of actual control.
3.disputed territory: A territorial dispute is a disagreement over the control of land between two or more territorial entities.
The central government had decided to change the infrastructure near the china border. They started to construct roads. After the construction of roads, it became very easy for our Indian army to transport and at the same time our Indian soldiers are making more patrolling and due to this the standoff is also being faced by each of the countries.
AND NOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES??
In three places standoff is being done between India and china.
1.pangong lake
2.galwan valley
3.hot springs
1.pangong lake: Two incidents of face-off occurred between Indian and Chinese troops last week. The first incident occurred in Eastern Ladakh on May 5 and the second occurred on May 9.
so the tension between India and China has started a month prior to the incident. Already on may, 5-6 the Indian army engaged in a battle with the Chinese army. At that time no one took it seriously.
As per the statement by the Indian Army, the violent clash at galwan valley started between Indian troops and soldiers of the people’s liberation army (PLA) on the night of June 15.
The Indian army team set out to hold a discussion with the Chinese side on June 15 as the PLA troops were not returning back to their territory. During this discussion, the Chinese PLA aggravated the situation. They attacked the Indian delegation with stones, sticks etc..Colonel Santosh babu was the team leader for the team. The colonel and the team members suffered injuries during the clash. And later it became a severer clash between them. Twenty Indian soldiers were killed in a clash with Chinese forces. The Indian Army added that 17 Indian troops who were critically injured in the line of duty, later died. On the other hand, China has not confirmed any casualties but has accused India of crossing the border and launching a provocative attack against Chinese personals Both sides have said no shots were fired.
