LAC Disengagement, Buffer Zones And Unanswered Questions

NEW DELHI: The latest round of disengagement at PP-15 in the Gogra-Hot Springs area along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh has triggered differing opinions among analysts and in the social media. While some back the move, calling it pragmatic, there are others who are critical of the government, claiming that the buffer zones created as a result of negotiations between Indian and Chinese military commanders have forced India to lose territory. The government is yet to clarify the details of the disengagement though. In this episode of ‘Ask Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale gives the overall context of the issue and the options India has going forward.

These temporary buffer zones will be occupied by PLA in a matter of time. Tibet was the real buffer until China decided to occupy the buffer 70 years ago.

What are Nitin's compulsions to misinform & disinform? Depsang & Demchok are not legacy issues. The PLA had withdrawn from these areas in 2013 & 2014 when Gen Sharma was the GOC. This is a deliberate attempt to disinform the viewers. Its in poor taste. As far as the DSDBO road and its implications on the defensive posture of the PLA in Aksai Chin is concerned, the viewers must study the terrain & distance of G219 from DSDBO road. This distance between DBO and G219 is about 100 km, and is so vast that the possibility of lauching any deep strike from DBO towards G219 would be any military planners nightmare. The DSDBO road simply gives the Indian Army better access to the remote Sub Sector DBO, thereby strengthening the defensive posture of Indian forces. The PLA is now sitting at Y Junction since May 2020, poised to cut-off DSDBO road, and denying access to several PPs. This is not a legacy issue, and it must be taken very seriously. The IA would certainly have taken adequate steps to contain any further ingress. We cannot let our gaurd dow. Commentators like Nitin must seek & present the whole truth. By distorting facts and presenting half truths, Nitin does harm to the Indian nation.

Local councillors in Ladakh have stated that part of the agreement involved the Indian Army removing their own posts well within Indian territory, details of which have not been confirmed by Army officials in New Delhi. ''Our troops have gone back from not only Patrol Point 15 (PP-15) but also Patrol Point 16 (PP-16), which we had for the last 50 years or so'' says Konchok Stanzin, the Councillor for the Chushul region of Ladakh. ''This was a big setback. Our grazing grounds (for nomadic graziers in the region) have now become a buffer zone. It was the main winter grazing ground. It is now a buffer zone.''

[@nathansm1957]

It is shocking to know that India has lost patrolling rights to PP15 and PP16 etc., , which India has been patrolling since 1962. People of India sincerely hoped that this govt would get back PoK and Akshai Chin from the occupation of Pakistan & China respectively. But the govt is not even able to regain the patrolling rights for key strategic points in Ladakh. This has put access to Siachen, and even Ladakh at serious risk. Indian army vacating or loosing patrolling rights to its own land is not at all a success, but disaster. Many warmongering channels are celebrating it, but its a shame. Look at Ukraine - How bravely they defended their land and gaining back territories from a superior nuclear armed power like Russia. Creating buffer zones within Indian territory, makes India week and just a paper tiger.

1. India is now essentially holding physically what it had after 1962 disaster, which was some 40K sq. km less that what Nehru's map of 1954 claims! 2. With the creation of buffer zone now, we have lost patrolling rights across LAC and so have the Chinese. But areas under our rights were perhaps much bigger than the Chinese have on our side. 3. Now, a new status quo is created and we have to see how it evolves in future and if we can ever get back to 1993 or even 2020 at least in terms of our patrolling rights! 4. But there are two good news- the Chinese salami slicing business is blocked. And Indian troops are there permanently with infrastructure development picking up soon. 5. So, within the context of what we lost thanks to Nehru's stupidity, we have now come to a stalemate, which India can hold up very well.

It makes sense if you're not thinking about your ego. Although the buffer zone is on Indian soil, neither India nor China is obligated to send troops there to guard the region where there is no grass growing. What harmful consequences does it have for India? India doesn't even need to use its manpower to patrol the territory. New satellite images confirm that Chinese soldiers have withdrawn 3 kilometers from the position that they occupied across the Line of Actual Control in Gogra-Hot Springs in Eastern Ladakh. China also does not see any economic benefits either. Looking at Chinese behaviors China does not have the courage to go for full-scale war against India. It was evident from the recent China-Taiwan conflict and Galwan incident in 2020. India also does not want full-scale war either to grab back land which has the least benefits as opposed to cost. In this scenario, India's approach is very pragmatic

In my opinion, giving up the gains that India had after capture of Kailash range, Rezang La and Rechin La in the name of disengagement was a huge blunder that will haunt Indian Army for years to come. Now China will control the belt of LAC..

[@gbhatia9809]

Soon after Biden’s installation as US President, in an essay in "Foreign Affairs", veteran Chinese diplomat Fu Ying had averred that the best configuration of the US-Russia-China triangle for China would be one where the distance between the US and Russia is maximum, that between Russia and China is the shortest, and the US-China arm is of intermediate length. The 24th Feb, 2022 Ukraine invasion has more than fulfilled Chinese wish. US sanctions on Russia have stretched the distance between the US & Russia to maximal hostility, brought the distance between China & Russia to the shortest possible providing China strategic & economic advantage of Russian dependence on it while the US now reeling under economic recession & unprecedented price rise due to Ukraine War has acute dependence on cheap Chinese goods to save US economy. The 11th October, 2021 editorial in the Chinese official mouth piece Global Times after 13th round of LAC talks was interesting. It said : "India's attitude in the negotiations is opportunistic. New Delhi assumes that China needs India's help because of China's desire for stability in its western borders to achieve its overall national strategy." China’s biggest national strategy is to annex Taiwan which will seal status of Xi as all time Chinese Great. Acute economic distress in the US & the West due to sanctions on Russia provide greatest immunity to China against similar sanctions. Creation of a buffer zone in Ladakh by creating double line of border security could help China attain strategic aims elsewhere which could be invasion of Taiwan or even Arunachal Pradesh. India must keep its powder dry & be prepared for all eventualities.

Sorry Sir, but i believe authorities are giving us wrong picture. Current pictures of the terrain clearly shows that PLA has created a company level base in Finger -5, and 6. and two structures can be seen even on F-4 ridge. In the South of Pangong TSO, PLA has highly fortified Black Top, Helmet Top and captured peaks by Indian Army in Sep-2020. We have done a great mistake as we kept doing it in the past. Top of that wrong information has been circulated to the citizens. If any body wants to check, please compare pictures of PLA establishment before GALWAN, post Sep-2020 operation and current one.

[@debasisroy7556]

The areas of disengagement are much easier to access from the Chinese side as I understand. I also doubt whether there is a credible verification mechanism in place to ensure that theChinese are not encroaching. Relinquishing higher grounds such as the Kailash range and PP15 pass leaves our infratructure, e.g., the new road to DBO and the landing ground at DBO vulnerable. Relinquishing grazing grounds also was a downer. That not only could alienate the population in the advanced areas but also leaves us short of on the ground intelligence that alerted our authorities time and again of intrusions. How then we should be satisfied about the disengagement, I wonder.

[@Abbyramrosy]

It was more of a face saving Compromise for the current regime before SCO meet. Political leadership should not have a negative influence in decision making, but give free hand to brave officers in border disputes. I believe, with this settlement we have lost tactical advantage. The Chinese will keep pushing in new areas again and again, and will slice more and more land in strategic and sensitive areas. it's upto government and military leadership to ensure that our interest is not compromised.

[@debasisroy7556]

@@Abbyramrosy the Chines were worried if we wee on the higher ground. Their military installations apparently fell within our range when we occupied the Kailash range. Vulnerability of those installations also created a fear that we could gain access into their highways and stuff. Their worry at Galwan valley and PP15 pass was largely similar. They made swift inroads there as we had little presence there. We couldn't possibly have retained the control of those soft spots without incurring heavy losses as the Galwan incidentshowed. Precisely due to that the leverage we had around Pangong was very significant I think. Using that leverage we should have tried to squeeze the Chinese out of other disputed locations. Unfortunately it we were talked into giving up that leverage and it is all downhill from there.

Nitinji.. thank you for updating us. But please avoid appearing to be govt spokesperson. We listeners expect a balanced view. For example you concluded Modiji refused to meet Xi at SCO meet. Did China ask for the meeting? Or did we ask for meeting and China refused? Just because they did not meet does not mean India refused as you stated. Secondly, you said all the friction points were 'resolved'. That is incorrect. Only dis-engagement to prevent face to face accidental fighting has been averted by both parties agreeing to stop patrolling. I would have hoped you would have analysed the risk to India by giving up our rights to patrol. Can the Chinese again catch us blindsided as they did in April 2020? How will the Army know if they are not quietly creeping up and building up positions in the no mans land? Satellite images show the Chinese are building bridges and roads to prevent a repeat of India's fast action, like Kailash Heights occupation. Obviously we don't want you to be anti Modi govt like Lt Gen H S Panag, et.al. But please try to give your honest opinion of pluses and minuses to India's position.

[@hmanjunathaprabhu907]

Dear Nitin, After hearing this episode, I am not any wiser or better informed. A lot of words but nothing clear. The maps shown did not add any info since it did not even mark which side was India and which was China!! Maps shown should be very well detailed about the points that are being said so that things are very clear. Unfortunately it was not so. It has been made to appear that since the borders were clearly defined historically it is very difficult to say whether China has captured our territory. ( not just this channel but others too). I think this strains belief to put it mildly and insults the reader to put it precisely. How difficult is it to put a map of pre Apr 2020 and show the extent of patrolling both the armies did ( even if they overlap in the territories because of 'unclear' boundaries) and next show how constrained it is after this agreement? Very simple and it will be crystal clear!! Nothing complex here as it is made out to be. There is no way you can trust the Chinese to honor ANY agreement they sign. So where was there any need to get into an agreement with them and give away our patrolling rights formally? What has been achieved since we are 100% sure China will repeat this? Since we HAVE to keep our armies there ALL the time. why could things have been the way they are and we take our chances to rectify them when China gets tied up with Taiwan? And why did we agree to give up our advantage of occupying some strategic mountain tops in the first meeting with the Chinese? That should have been done , IF AT ALL, at the last when we were satisfied with the withdrawals in all the other areas. Have we seen a repeat of what Nehru did? All in all, very disappointed and anguished.😞 Warm Regards

Economic strength is what determines victory! Now that we have gone far ahead of Pakistan economically they have started becoming less of importance. So till the time we become more powerful economy the China problem will not resolve to our satisfaction. Ironically we have the richest people in the world in Mr. Ambani and Mr. Adani but unfortunately India is poor. Hope we come closer to Chinese in economy soon. Army will do what it does best but after all its the economy that determines the strength and power to sustain. Good work on negotiation but our economy needs to do the real pulling ahead.

I have no idea why people are getting so fixated on patrolling rights in the comments here,and acting like losing those rights and having a buffer zone is disastrous. What control do mere patrolling rights provide in modern wars? What sort of wondrous advantage do they give that people are calling not being able to patrol a disaster? And why is everyone acting like buffer zones are radically different from areas where both sides patrol? Sure it's not a win for india but it's not a win for china either. Strategic stalemate seems the best term to call the current situation with buffer zones. People who expect India to fight a war or take back aksai chin etc are delusional and have clearly erroneous logic. India having patrolling rights did not prevent previous chinese aggression, so it's hard see why people are acting like china will now be able attack more. ISR capability is more important than having muh patrolling rights. But well, expecting rationality from youtube comments is asking a bit much i guess

As India's Air Force chief explained, India has far more air force capacity along the border as the height of the Tibetan Plateau, over 4,000 metres makes it difficult to take-off and land aircraft and they can only carry small loads. While armies are determining facts on the ground, and China has better access to the border, China and India have a similar number of troops acclimatized to the border area. China has the larger economy now. India has by far the larger population under 40. India has economic strength with 7.5% growth in the current circumstances, much more than China. India does not have a lot of poorly performing loans, or a poorly structured finance sector like China. India should consider itself as having political/military power equivalence to China. Modi gave Putin a dressing down for starting a war which Ukraine won't stop until it gets its pre 2014 borders back. Indian media in particular must see India as a global power and report on that basis. India should be adding nuclear weapon disarmament by Pakistan to its list of demands for normalised relations with Pakistan - such has been the change in fortunes of Russia and Pakistan this year. Bangladesh does not need nuclear weapons for a good relationship with India.

proof of strength lies in aggression. india has to instigate an incident and cut the tibet road to sinkiang.

You are not honest Mr. Nithin Gokhale

[@neon1899]

"neither side have gained much" It's obvious that India has lost this round. But 2024 elections are coming soon, so pro-BJP forces like Gokhale are trying to portray this as a stalemate

[@santouryuu244]

obvious to whom?

[@yadurmahabala1313]

Lieing on Indian side is too much.

[@KJ-tq3sm]

India will NEVER admit loss at Ladakh. Truly pathetic. One only has to watch the leak video by the Chinese to witness the humiliation of the IA.

China did not start this. It was Amit Shah, the Minister of Home Affairs, after he declared that Aksai Chin was part of the Indian-administered Ladakh Union Territory.

[@dhotrearvind]

So, proclamation of Amit Shah is correct? Because, mighty China was tricked to act & lost its face eventually, since China is even not claiming victory. This may create problems for Xi - in October party conference

[@KJ-tq3sm]

@@dhotrearvind - tricked to act? lost face? LOL. Maybe you should view the video that China leaked online of the dozens of Indian hostages on their knees.....

Aksai Area and Pok is an Integral part of India and Indian administration will take over this land eventually

China has the right to free it's historical lands illegally occupied by India. It's inevitable India will learn to give up it's expansionist fits because it will not be tolerated by China anymore. The sooner India gives up ocuupied territories belonging to other countries the sooner it will find peace.

This guy is a LIAR. Buffer zone in north banks of Pangong Tso is between Dhan Singh Thapa Post(F2/F3) to F8. NOT F4-F8. India has lost the territory between F2/F3 and F4.

China used to come till finger 4...they have lost access to it and will not come ahead of finger 8. So both sides have lost patrolling points access and not India alone.

[@KJ-tq3sm]

@@rahulsongdeewana - China only claims up to F4. The fact that India cannot even patrol to F4 means lost of F2/F3 to F4. GET IT?
