India- China border: Changing profile (Financial Express)

China has always been trying to test Indian capabilities from time to time. A detailed analysis on the current scenario as compared to 1962.

It will not restrain itself from not using air and naval power as was done in 1962 but will utilize every organ of the state to defend its national interests. At this juncture of 75th year of independence, while India has to make strides in multiple domains, it has become capable of defending its national interests. China’s expansionist agenda has been exposed and the world has taken a note of it. The 1967 win with China and 1971 decisive win against Pakistan brought India in a different league of nations. IAF is being equipped with the best aircraft in the world while the Navy is being given the capability of controlling sea waters of the Indian Ocean. It has helped in reducing our mobilization time for the war besides providing us the option for switching our forces from one area to another in an operationally acceptable timeframe. Not only this, it entered into conflict with Vietnam in 1979 and failed to achieve its objective to change the Government in Cambodia for next 10 years. India deployed its troops promptly and China had to withdraw back from the Doklam which was another event of loss of face. This war was a watershed moment for India as a nation in general and the Indian Defence forces in particular. These increased capacities resulted in beating Chinese in their own game in 1967 when they attempted skirmishes in Nathula and Chola in Sikkim. India was able to beat them and localize the conflict. The outcome of the 1962 war is well known and its analysis has been done over a period of time. It is this war after which the country focused on capacity creation for the defence forces but was not comfortable to develop the infrastructure in the forward areas in initial years as it was probably psyched that infrastructure could be used by the adversaries to advance in case of any future conflict.

“We had to dig in the ground to search for drinking water while travelling on foot to Amritsar (on the Indian side),” my grandmother tells me. He had to feed a family of 11. That’s when a fateful three months in 1947 changed the course of our family’s history. My entire family had to migrate as refugees overnight in August of 1947. Just an imaginary line drawn by a British officer from Wales (Cyril Radcliffe), changed the course of history for millions of people from either side, including my family. A small hatchback car, stops by on the Pakistan side.
