Ashok Leyland defense vehicles of the Indian Army take the highway to north Sikkim, in India, at the Indo-China border.
Please note that we are NOT portraying either confidential troop or vehicle movements here nor filming this on any inner line or sensitive road. This was filmed along the main highway to central Sikkim, near Mangan. There are no restrictions on filming army movements here. The troops are proud to be shown at work in this beautiful corner of India. Besides, this is archival footage from many years back!
The Border Security Force (BSF) is responsible for guarding India's land borders during peacetime and prevent trans-border crimes. BSF has an extensive intelligence network to support these missions.
India- China borders remain rather quiet without any serious military incident since last several years. The last major standoff between the troops of the two sides took place in 1987 in Sumdorong Chu valley in Arunachal Pradesh. It followed the veteran Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping’s threat in October 1986, as reported in the press, to teach a lesson to India if it continued nibbling across the border. This being so, Chinese PLA intrusions into India’s borders have been a regular feature in recent periods; the reported March 2015 border happenings are a case in point.
Are the continuing border incidents in the India-China border ‘transgressions’ or ‘intrusions’? Each side interprets the border happenings differently. India alleges that the Chinese troops are carrying out ‘transgressions’ into the border which according to it means that they cross over to Indian territory only to eventually retreat to their side. India at the same time admits Chinese ‘intrusions’ are occurring some times which it sees as their crossing over to Indian side, but staying put. It says that no ‘intrusion’ has been reported or taken place on the border including Sikkim, during the five years since 2010. The People’s Republic of China (PRC), on its part, refers in general only to occurrences of “isolated incidents” in the border. It however feels that India is also transgressing along the LAC and that such ‘violations’ against China could be more than double than that has been alleged by India. The intentions of the two parties in any case look to downplay the tensions along the LAC; both seem to be against attaching too much importance to border crossings in the interest of overall bilateral ties. Importantly, they agree on one point, i.e. Differing perceptions of each other on the LAC are contributing to border tensions.
