Exposing Indian lies, deceit and fake news with Indian maps and news

The past weeks the Indians had a field day gloating about how they captured Chinese positions in Ladakh while the PLA were caught sleeping, caught by surprise, unaware of what was happening, Chinese satellites not seeing anything etc etc. The Indians were glorifying the great defeat of the PLA that they accused of being aggressive and trying to invade India but repelled by India's pre emptive strikes across the LAC. It was victory after victory, with Indian soldiers occupying strategic positions to prevent a Chinese invasion. It was a reenactment of the early days prior to the 1962 Sino Indian border war when the Indians were victorious with their surprised incursions into China. China today and then were caught off guard by the Indian aggression with the latter accusing China of aggression just to invade China. It does not need much thinking to see who would be in a better position in an unannounced attack, the aggressor that made the first move, ie India. China was not doing anything and thus would be taking the blows from the Indians. The attackers would always have the advantage of surprise and well prepared.

Let's see how dirty the Indians were in the first few rounds of incursions into Chinese territory with the element of surprise. The map below shows two LACs, one on the left, proposed by Zhou Enlai in 1959 and another further to the right appearing in Indian maps today. In the 1962 war, China pushed back and held on to the 1959 LAC till today with both sides agreeing to pull back 20km from this LAC. A LAC is where actual control is, not imaginary line one wish to have like the one on the right.

This is from Wikipedia, 'The Line of Actual Control (LAC) is a loose demarcation line that separates Indian-controlled territory from Chinese-controlled territory in the Sino-Indian border dispute. The term was first used by Zhou Enlai in a 1959 letter to Jawaharlal Nehru. It subsequently referred to the line formed after the 1962 Sino-Indian War, and is part of the Sino-Indian border dispute....The term "LAC" gained legal recognition in Sino-Indian agreements signed in 1993 and 1996. The 1996 agreement states, "No activities of either side shall overstep the line of actual control." However clause number 6 of the 1993 Agreement on the Maintenance of Peace and Tranquility along the Line of Actual Control in the India-China Border Areas mentions, "The two sides agree that references to the line of actual control in this Agreement do not prejudice their respective positions on the boundary question".'

In this second map, the Chinese and Indian positions are clearly marked in red and blue respectively. The Chinese positions are 20km behind the LAC as agreed but the Indians are on the LAC, not 20km behind. The Indians have been making such aggressive moves, disrespecting earlier agreements and take it for granted, and ignoring the Chinese protest. This is what Indians are good at, making unacceptable aggressive moves but blaming China for it. China is in control of the region right of the LAC and India left of the LAC.

 

And here is a satellite pic showing details of Chinese soldiers and buildings in the observation posts Every one of these posts is manned by at least a company of PLA soldiers, fortified with fences, surveillance radars and minefields around the peripherals.

With these maps and pictures, let's exposed the recent Indian lies and myths about their victorious advance and capture of Chinese positions. To attack and capture one such observation post, the Indians would need at least 3 or 4 companies to mount the attack. And if successful, there would not only be prisoners of wars but also casualties on both sides.  Even if the Chinese were caught sleeping and did not put up a fight, the Indians would have taken them as prisoners of war. It would be something that the Indians would trumpet to the world to prove how good their soldiers were. Capturing such fortified positions is no easy task and there would be a lot of fireworks.

But no such news. There was no news of prisoners of wars, no wounded or dead soldiers from both sides, no pictures to show the world the captured Chinese positions.

The only news of casualties coming out from India was the Tibetan Special Forces soldier, Nyima Tenzin, died from an exploding mine. There was also news of another Indian or Tibetan soldier that died from an IED explosion. These two deaths could be from the Indian sneak attacks on 29 and 30 Aug, trying to capture Chinese positions like Black Top but failed. Whatever positions they claimed to have captured were actually hilltops on the LAC that were not manned by PLA soldiers. The Indian soldiers moved up from the base of the LAC to the hill tops and claimed to have captured Chinese positions that were 20km away.

What the Indians were crowing about were imaginary victories that they trumpeted but with nothing to show, no pictures of the sites or wounded or dead soldiers. A military operation of such a nature would definitely have casualties on both sides. And China would have launched an immediate counter attack when their positions were attacked and captured. It was like the proverbial saying, all quiet on the western front, except for the Indians beating their drums of an imaginary war.

While talking about Indian myths, let me revisit the brawl at Galwan Valley a couple of months earlier. The Indians were furious and mad that 20 of their soldiers were killed in that fist fight and none from the Chinese side. So embarrassing. After making many attempts to find out Chinese casualties and with the Chinese not saying anything, the Indians have come up with another imaginary version that there were more casualties on the Chinese side, Indians won again. So clever.

Think again. Two sides fighting with hundreds of soldiers involved. How come no Indian soldier could tell from what they saw at the scene of Chinese casualties? How come all the soldiers that were thrown or forced into the river and some died were all Indians? How come the Indian soldiers fought so bravely and so well but only Indian soldiers were in the river, no PLA soldiers in the river?

These facts only show that it was a one sided affair with the Indians being chased and thrown into the river. And they were running away so fast that they did not even have the time to look back to see if there were casualties on the Chinese side. The Indian soldiers were fleeing or being pushed into the river by the Chinese soldiers and unable to drag one or two Chinese soldiers along. That was how well the Indian soldiers fought, more like what happened in 1962. And they were hoping to hear news of more casualties on the Chinese side. After spreading the lie that China had more casualties, the Chinese foreign ministry has came out to confirm that Chinese casualties were much less than India. This must have pissed off the Indians more.

What do you think?

PS. The only thing to say about the Indians is that they violated the agreement with China to pull back 20km from the LAC. Also in a way they 'captured' China's unmanned hilltops on the LAC but trying to give the impression that they fought the PLA and won. Sneaky, sneaky as usual.They have moved onto the LAC instead of being 20km behind and pointing the finger at China for aggressive moves while China maintained its position 20km from the LAC. This is the logic of Indians. Who is the aggressor and breaking all the agreements and conducting aggressive movement of troops?
