Book Description
Soldiers when committed, can’t compromise. They do not let the task go until it’s been done which depicts their absolute loyalty towards the nation and the people. That was the spirit of the Colonel and his men who shattered the Chinese hegemonic ambition and desire to dictate dominance at fourteen thousand feet above sea level on 15 June 2020. The soldiers were engaged in a primitive fight on the world’s most treacherous battle ground where oxygen is sparse and lungs gasp for breath. History resonates itself; 58 years ago China played a similar game. The 1962 defeat was not easy for the young and proud nation. But this time, India is wary of the Chinese belligerence. The root of the clash can be found in the past. From there, the path is set to shape the future. How we communicated, what was said, did they fail to comprehend or did two fists close too early? All that is required is to go back into pages of history. Road to Galwan takes you through the gripping journey of putting the border dispute between India and China in the correct perspective. It recounts the events of the past and weaves through the current situation for a holistic viewpoint.

Understanding the India-China Border
Author: Manoj Joshi
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 1787388832
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
In the summer of 2020, China and India came near to war. The nuclear-armed adversaries both massed troops and equipment along their disputed border in eastern Ladakh. The two sides slugged it out with fists, stones and clubs, next to a fast-flowing Himalayan stream, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries, many from hypothermia. The entire 4,000-kilometre Sino-Indian boundary is disputed. In 1962, the two countries fought a short and vicious war that went badly for India, and from which Nehru never recovered. The border, called the Line of Actual Control, is not marked on any map agreed upon by the two sides; it runs through the largely unpopulated and inhospitable high mountains of the Himalayas. From the 1990s, as Beijing and New Delhi sought to resolve their seemingly intractable border dispute, an elaborate system of agreements kept the situation akin to a kettle on a slow boil. But the kettle is now boiling over. The two rising Asian giants, both led by strongly nationalistic regimes, neither of which wishes to blink first, are seeking geopolitical and strategic advantage. This timely book explains what is happening on 'the roof of the world'; and why that matters for us all.
