India's Infra Thrust To Ladakh: Countering China & Pakistan

India’s military is in the fourth winter of its advanced forward deployment against China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) forces along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. China’s renewed aggression in 2020 led to the deadly Galwan clashes in June that year, with the consequent military buildup and standoff. Both sides continue to engage at the military, diplomatic and political level. But the shattering of trust, protocols and agreements means India is on perpetual guard in the present while ramping up its preparedness for the future.
StratNews Global’s team of Amitabh P. Revi, Rohit Pandita and Karan Marwaha travels along alpine altitudes through the frozen desert landscape in eastern Ladakh and Siachen to bring you this series: The Himalayan Frontier. These ground reports document the sustained infrastructure push in road connectivity and air bridges, record substantial progress in alternate axes that are in play and are being planned, and capture on camera how the Indian Army, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and the Indian Air Force’s women, men and machines are honing their all-weather readiness during another winter, against the two-front threat from China and Pakistan.
In this episode, we travel from Manali, through the Atal Tunnel under the Rohtang Pass and drive on the Darcha-Padam-Nimmu (NPD) road to Leh. This is a crucial third axis to Leh that will ensure all-weather connectivity for India's military and civilians, even when upto fifteen foot high snow walls usually close passes as high as 17,000+ feet for months in the winter. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is the nodal agency for this infrastructural push and we travel with their personnel to understand their engineering achievements through bone-chilling alpine altitudes, how they drill through mountain ranges, lay bridges across fast-moving rivers and the challenges at these heights, temperatures and topographies.

India's democracy is truly one of the World's most extraordinary. ... India's political system owes much to the institutions put in place by the British over two hundred years ago. In many other parts of Asia and in Africa, the British were a relatively temporary presence. They were in India for centuries. They saw it as the jewel in their imperial crown and built lasting institutions of government throughout the country--courts, universities, administrative agencies it's Army. But perhaps even more importantly, India got very lucky with the vehicle of its independence, the Congress Party, and its first generations of post-independence leaders, who nurtured the best traditions of the British and drew on older Indian customs to reinforce them. Today's Modern India has truly earned its place as one of Asia's greatest democracies and a true Powerhouse on the World Stage

[@Senthan631]

If India has to owe anything for its continuous democracy, it may be to the United States and Partially to Europe for introducing the concept of Democracy to the world, but beyond that it doesn’t have to owe anything to anyone. The institutions that you think built India didn’t help with Pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka or Burma(Myanmar) for that reason. They are still impoverished and struggling to make ends meet. Even the madman Winston Churchill said India will splinter into pieces of warring states after independence as what was happening across Africa, that’s how most British still think as they don’t read enough History to understand how India grew from a nearly nothing country owing to an institutionalized and inhuman loot by the British. But neither that idiot nor any other British person understood the soul of India, that’s why the failed in their predictions and understandings. The Dharmic Tradition that bound Indians and India is what makes India a continuous democracy and it sustained growth. That’s why unlike any other country, India introduced a new type of protest called the Satyagraha. At the same time, showed we can militarize too if necessity arises in the way of Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose! The British on the other hand engineered famines unlike anything the world has seen. From 1100 to 1700 the Indian subcontinent faced 11 natural famines while in just 200 years from 1700 till 1900 India faced 14 famines engineered by the British. India didn’t develop due to British Institutions, we wrote our own constitution (Thanks to intellectual might of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar) after hours and hours of highly intellectual discussion in our parliament for 3 years. You should read those discussions, it will mind blowing to go through the brilliant minds of Indian Political forefathers of those times. And then we became a republic. Once we became a republic, we followed soviet style of 5 year planning to develop an extreme British looted country. Nobody questioned the hunger deaths of 1940s purely engineered by the British, where the wheat and rice grown in India are diverted to British Army and Britain, when the people were dying of Hunger in the streets of India. Later after our Independence, we started work immediately to address the issues, First, We had Green Revolution and resolved hunger crisis, then White Revolution and increased milk production and reduced infant mortality, Built Heavy Industries, Supported development of Small Industries, Built free School Education across the country, Built Higher Educational Institutions and research institutions across the nations. Created higher scientific research institutions. Every step we made was fully made by our people and our leaders, we don’t owe that to anyone. The so called institutions that you said like the courts, administrative system, Railways were built just to fleece more from India. If you want to get more info about this thought that British Institutions helped to build and thinking it’s the white man’s brain that India has grown to such an extent, then you should read Sashi Tharoor’s Inglorious Empire: what the British did to India and An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India and his speech in Oxford University. Stop thinking absurdly that India has achieved this greatness because of British Institutions that’s blatant lie.

This is not only of huge military importance but also like a gift from God for the local people who were forced to remain cutoff from the rest of India during winter. Main point is people of the entire country will be able to see, actually what marvel has been created there & surely feel proud to be an Indian.

On the road from Padam to Kargil is the Dzonghul valley and monastery to the south west between Phe and Phey. 13.5 km up the valley for the Padam-Kargil road, at a height of 4200 metres (13,800 ft) is a good place for a portal of a tunnel under the Himalayas to Jammu. The tunnel could be 13 km with the Jammu portal up a short valley from Bhuzas with a portal at about 3960 m (13,000 ft), or a longer tunnel of about 17.5 km to Bhuzas and an elevation of 3400 m (11,150 ft). From Bhuzas, the road would go down the Bhut Nallah to the Chenab at Padder. From there it is down the Chenab to Kishtwar and Jammu city. The Zanskar Valley road should be made all-weather down to its junction with the Indus River near Nimmu. Essentially one long tunnel between Jammu and and Dzonghul Valley in Ladakh will make the true fully independent third crossing of the Himalayas to Leh.

Mao built three highway from Beijing to Tibet with the permission from dallai lama for better connectivity. That was fatal mistake and lesson for all joining belt and road. Mao invaded Tibet using same highway in 1959. Dallai lama fled to India. Mao attacked India in 1962. Tibet is landlocked and used to use Kolkata India port.

The second is the possibilities of world class astronomical observatories up in some of those high and dry places.
