Why Siachen Matters To India
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2022
- NEW DELHI: India isn’t averse to demilitarization of the Siachen Glacier, given that Pakistan accepts the Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) that divides the positions of the two countries, says Indian army chief General MM Naravane. India was forced to take countermeasures on the world’s highest battlefield after Pakistan unilaterally tried to change the status quo in 1984. ‘Operation Meghdoot’, which led to the capture of the glacier is the Indian Army’s longest uninterrupted operation. In this episode of ‘The Gist’, one of the heroes of that operation, Lt Gen Sanjay Kulkarni (Retd), talks about the strategic significance of the glacier where nearly 800 Indian soldiers have died on the line of duty due to the difficult terrain and harsh weather. He is in conversation with StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale.

After listening this conversation, I feel it will be suicidal to vacate the Siachen. And Nitin sir, thank you for clarifying the fact that Pakistanis are nowhere near the Siachen. The so called Pakistani Siachen lies far below the actual Siachen glacier. If my memory serves me correctly, I think it's 170 - 200km away.
Haha fake Indian propaganda channel 😂😂😂

Who better to talk about Siachen than the first man on Siachen, Gen Sanjay Kulkarni, the legend!!! It boggles my mind that such a brave man even exists and i always look up to such legends when decisions needs to be made in my ownife
@@doncorleone3901 your absolutely right 👍

very nice and informative dialog Nitinji...thanks for having Gen Kulkarni on the show. our armed forces are very important part of our Indian union to maintain territorial integrity and our sovereignty. heartfelt gratitude 🙏 to our armed forces and their families .
Very informative session, with maps of the Siachen glacier area and an analysis by General Kulkarni. Absolutely vital position for India’s strategic interests, as explained. But it’s also important that India regain its territory that was illegitimately occupied by the two conniving neighbours.
It seems apparent that if India had the foresight years ago, to firmly hold on to its territories in the northern areas, including Shaksgam and the Karakoram, it could have had a clear advantage.
One is reminded of the tale about the camel and its owner, as it goes. From just wanting a crack in the tent to warm its nose, the camel eventually occupied the whole tent!
The obvious moral is that one should be ever vigilant in a situation, even if things appear non threatening in the beginning.
India needs to constantly outmaneuver the two conniving and perfidious neighbours.

Salute to our heros who has successfully completed operation Meghdhoot. And hoisted our Tricolour at Siachin.
Sir, your hardbound book on Saichen is not available in the original price. Could you ask the publisher to print more copies.(demand supply issue may be)
Thanks Nitin for having Lt Gen Kulkarni to explain about importance of Siachin. I think Gen. Naravane, like his predecessor, tends to talk unnecessarily and beyond his remit. On Siachin, he could have skirted the question easily. Even on China, he is talking unnecessarily. We are doing quite fine in defending ourselves and we are upgrading our infrastructure. There is total political commitment about it.
Please correct the map that is shown to explain the alignment of AGPL. The LAC is erroneously depicted there. It is not along the Saser La rather beyond Depsang La.
Nitin ji,seen you after long gape, thaks for providing important information about saichen related.
Such an insightful episode, thanks to both of you sir 🙏🏻
What are the weopenary available for the soldiers at Siacin hights? The enemy is far away.
Very informative, thank you!
Nitin sir, please share the links for your books. Are they on Amazon? Available on Kindle?

There has to be a movie about it... 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏.
Great information
The discussion shows a clear disconnect between what Gen. Narvana said and what Gen. Kulkarni is saying. Why is the Indian military even entertaining the point of demilitarization? Shows inconsistent and soft approach, strategic error. Don't fall into their trap.
Hahaha fake Indian propaganda channel 😂😂😂

Words of wisdom from first hand soldier who literally has fought for every inch that we have in Siachen.
Very good discussion
Salute to Gen Kulkarni, we all indians are proud of him
Thank you. Good night 🙂🙏
I will buy that book, Nitin...
We should have a well established permanent military base in the Siachen. It’s expensive but will ensure we are fully prepared at all times to handle any mountain warfare scenario. Think of it as a premier high mountain warfare training ground.
This will not remain a problem, if once we re-occupy Gilgit-Baltistan that we claim as ours. Siachen glacier area will remain with us, with no doubt being raised.
So papa g do you think you can capture Gilgit Baltistan?

Yes

In reality. Movie comes later.
@@MrPoornakumar No, you can only make movies of what Indians can't do.

It’s time now to take it back. Simple
Saichin Glacier could be a top ski resort....!
no buddy. it is at a height where casual tourists would have difficulty in breathing even while standing idle. skiing is best suited for comparitively lower altitudes
Geographic
If India Vacate Siachin and Pak china will have another land road link between Skardu and Karakoram pass
We must stand our ground and never give an inch to the land grabbing, lying through teeth, barbaric neighbours. Let them keep on dreaming and freeze.
One hopes it was not the political dispensation who suggested to Gen Navarane that Siachen is negotiable. Our eternal misfortune is the stupidity and myopia of our political leaders. I pray I am wrong.
Accepting de-militarisation,is a preposterous suggestion.
Then u go and try serving in siachen at such cold temp. Instead of typing comments from the comforts of ur home

Nitin ji, please bring to the notice of NSA that Pakistan will be handing over most part Gilgit Baltistan to CCP and PLA in a negotiations against reducing $ 60 billion CPEC loan. and request China to build Desu Dam and M1Railway line. Chinese PLA have been assessing the Cost and whether it is worth to waive that 60 billion and build the dam and the railway line. Pakistan will flip overnight if we pay $70 billion and takeover G and B.
U left it. Pakistan kept it. Why u. Crying India?
Sachin is part of Pakistan, but India took over due to non presence of Pakistan army . Offer to demilitarized is not a desire to peace. It's due to the road Pakistan and China building which will cutt off Indian supply line to Siachin glashir . Truth is India and Pakistan are enemy and will keep harming each other within their capacity. Pakistan being smaller in size and economy is just defending and trying to respond within it's resources, while India is attacking as per his large size, economy and resources, Blaming each other is just to divert attention of public and to gain political mileage. India successfully played in Bangladesh creations, and trying to play on the same footage in Pak. Balochistan, India wishes to dictate it's neighborhood, Pakistan is a big hindrance ,it's a war, let's accept it. A LAST WAR . Distraction of this region is written, India's will be ruined, the signs are appearing in the form of Hindu, Muslim,Siky, Christian, Dallot, Naga land, etc uprising and mistrust amongst different communities.
One joker talk with another joker🤣
One request, we want to know what are India's capabilities of recovering lost territories PoK, Gigit Baltistan, Aksai chin, Shaskam valley. Does govt has any intentions, are they planning ?
@RISE & SHINE no way not acceptable
@RISE & SHINE I am no where in emotions, why do u speculate, do u know me.
@RISE & SHINE keep ur crap analysis for urself, I believe in righteousness. In mahabharata despite Pandavas were outnumbered, with many legends on kuarava side but still victory was for dharma (righteousness) . Even now India has a chance we have good international relations with Pak economy in scrambles. Current govt should take strong decision. PM modi without firing a single bullet had made Pak pay heavily.
Good question
@RISE & SHINE the part of Kashmir now under Pakistani control certainly useful. It is India's link to Central Asia and China's link to the Arabian sea.
Why would do you think that Pakistan would accept this offer?
There is no offer on the table for Pakistan at all from the Indian side, no matter what any Army chief says. The decision rests with the government of India. And the records of the government of India shows that the erstwhile kingdom of Jammu and Kashmir, ruled by Maharaja Hari Singh, signed the UN recognised Treaty of Accession in 1947 and joined India. Like the other princely states of India, Jammu and Kashmir was given only 2 choices by the British government in 1947, either join India or join Pakistan. No ifs, no buts. Therefore, Jammu and Kashmir is an inalienable part of India legally and morally.
lairs
What India did to Pakistan in 1984, claimed and occupied inhabitable heights, China is doing in Ladakh today, what goes around it comes around. I am sure Pakistanis will maintain their position for the next 35 years as they have done in the past 35 years. It is India's choice to change its course; if you change 370 and 35A and start building infrastructure in Ladakh, the Chinese will come and give you a hard time. The more significant problem is not India's lack of vision or ambition. It is about the Indian mindset; almost 5500kms border with two neighbours, China and Pakistan, are disputed. If India wants to play a bully, it will receive the response in the same coin. Cooperation among neighbours can bring prosperity and stability in the region; a jingoistic approach would bring body bags and poverty to its people; the choice is yours, the Indian politicians.
