Doing It Right: Takeaways For India From Ladakh Standoff
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- 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.

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
Along with the Indian armed forces the political leadership's role needs to be appreciated also.
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 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.
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.
As Former U.S President Ronald Reagan One Said "Peace Through Strength".Now To Its time to increase our strength more
👍👍🙂 loved your Ladakh coverage over the last 8-9 months....
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 !
Thank you Nitinji for such detailed and analytical reporting. Proud of Indian defense forces 🙏
Jai hind indian army and salute to you Nitin sir for such a wonderful journalism
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")
You guys doing great journalism, keep the good work . I am sure more people will support you . Jai Hind ,Jai Dev
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
Nice episode....u provide very fine aspect of INDIAN ARMY about which random person cant think.....
Hats off Indian Army!
Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Jai Hind! ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Nitin is clear , crisp and concise. Well done .the first to speak to Gen Joshi , and a detailed analysis is awesome.
Further to add Galvan incident has now totally altered rules of engagement with PLA kinetically
Rightly said 🙌
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
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.
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
Heart-warming to see the discipline of buddy-care regimen of Indian Army that kept the whole deployment indefatigable.
Nitin is the best reporter as compared to mainstream media's so called straegists. Keep it up Nitin. Tumhala bhetayla avdel.
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.

Best Defence Analyst in India.
Excellent journalism and reporting from Ladakh
Great Job
Nitin Ji
Apko Pranam.
Way to go @Nitin and @StratNewsGlobal
Very good analysis of the actual ground scenarios.
Thanks a lot
Spoken truly by a true patriot! 👍👍
Good naratives in simple clear and only facts said. Kudos to you.
Just because of people like you that I still have little faith in modern-day Journalism!
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.
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. 👍💪♥️
Hats off to our brave hearts. The whole country is with you.
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.
Sir your analysis factual & scientific. All the best
Simply Nitin is Simply Superb
Proud on Indian Army 🙏
Great work as always. Plz keep it up
Brilliant Info. with astute analysis...Thanks & Jai Hind
Good analysis thanks
I stopped watching national interest of the print in between and ran here ❤️
That episode was more of anti-national interest.
Such a great detail. 🙏🏻
Sir, namastey. Thanks for your updates.
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..
Salute to soldiers🙏
Very nicely summed up lessons learnt
Bravo Nitin.
Well said...
The leson is that India is much more powerful than India itself and the world had thought itself to be
Proud of our Armed forces and their leadership for standing up to the Chinese face to face in such an inhospitable terrains. The credit also goes to the Political leadership for fully supporting our troops at the frontiers. Now, it is the time to speed up the Infrastructure at the borders. Jai Bharat !
Jai Hind 👍🏻❤❤❤❤❤
Good job to the medical kor for looking after the Jawans.JAI HIND.👍
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.
Sir U were supposed to tell us How india got to know about This Chinese incursion first ? 😅😅
Lovely as always
Wonderful comments
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!
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.
Perfect Analysis
Excellent works done by our Arm forces
Good analysis
Jai Hind 🙏
Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing high altitude surveillance skills.
Sir if possible could you provide a article along with the video for analysis of such issue ....??
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
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.
It's also a moral win for India. And I am sure the Chinese would have understood by now the strength of Indian armed forces.
Love you sir
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.
4:29 OMG !!! I can imagine how difficult it must be for army men to go with "NO ALCOHOL NO SMOKING" lol
👏🏼👏🏼
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.
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.
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.
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
we had kambal parade in school. ah the good old days
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.
🙏
#IndianArmedForces ♥ ♥
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.
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 ?
This whole experience can be made a movie
Hope this sends a message is to the quislings in Pindi.
Good evening sir...
Can you pls do an episode on India's stand on Myanmar. It's not all clear..
@jiene m Can you pls share the link?
There must be a cost applied on China for this misadventure.
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.
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?
Chinese strategy- when u can disturb india from inside u don't need forces to attack from outside
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
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 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.
Apologies but All what you said is pretty much known to us. Tell us what should be done to make the scenario better?
Should this information not be kept Confidential?
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.
