Even though i have only watched till 13:44 , i would like to make a prediction. The main motivation for such a gully attack is to test the response time of Indian troops. Last time, such a test quickly escalated to a full scale fight and caused international headlines. This time Chinese side do not want to risk lives of their soldiers. At the same time they will use this clash as Chinese version of [Desh khatre main hain] and divert their citizens from actual internal crisis.

Tibet and India shared border for 2000+ years, and not a single war or clash. China shares border with India in last 60 years, multiple war and clashes. Thats why Tibet needs to a independent country bring peace in Asia.

I've read "Himalayan Blunder" by Brigadier John P Dalavi translated to Kannada by Ravi Belagere. I'd suggest this aswell for the blunders of then Congress government (1962 war) and failures of Nehru, Krishna Menon and B M Kaul. Disrespecting army genius like Thimmayya. And what a leftist government brought on to an Army and the ignorance, also how and why Chinese incursion is a lot more complicated than our wars with Pakistan. It's a good read. Tawang was where the last major army was posted miles away from disastrous Namka Chu, dhola post. We had lost Tawang to China in 1962 which they gave us back after cease-fire.

Just now finished watching TimesNow & realized why SG was keen on doing this CTC, giving clean chit to Nehru, telling us that the projects done by todays central government are the brain child of MMS. SG is truly paying back with courtesy to Congress! Even if the projects were proposed by MMS, it's been done by Modiji. Period!

Lallantop reported that Indians brought back 5 Chinese PLA soldiers as souvenirs

India has to grow economically very very fast in order to make sure such misadventures do not happen ever.

Indian Congress , Islamic , Communist must be shamed for criticizing Indian forces and Govt .

@6:20 Shekhar addresses Indian soldiers as comrades. I've heard it earlier too but didn't think much but now I'm getting suspicious of his intentions!!!

One modern day facility you could use is a pointer when we are explaining a map because we can't understand which part you are talking about when what we can see is just in relief with no other labels.😊

The response this time at Tawang by the Indian Army indicates better planning, awareness and absolute clarity on response. This should clear the doubts on whether Modi govt is on the same page as the army. Yes we are taking on the dragon and we will settle it on our own.

Towards the end you mentioned that Manmohan Singh faced opposition from within Congress regarding infrastructure development in the border areas. Was it the Gandhi family, since their RGIF was the direct beneficiary of Chinese money ?

सीमा नहीं बना करती है कागज में खींची लकीरों से या घटती बढ़ती रहती है वीरों की शमशीरो से 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Final words of SheKhar gupta shows how much love he has for congress party.

Why is there a need to defend Nehru everytime?

We have two neighbours a Pig and a Pig eater ..And a enemy sitting inside India doing work of the neighbour enemy.

Make video on 👉 Funding By Chinese to Rajiv Gandhi Foundation. 👍

It was because of Nehru's ideology of slow development in the Northeast that our land had to suffer from the curse of terrorism. As the results rolled in, the terrorist group are now reduced to just rare

Shekhar taking potshots at the ridiculous coverage by India Today and others is one of life's subtler pleasures.

Just saw the video of Indian army bashing the heads of Chinese PLA cowards in Tawang. Sikh Regiment smashed the heads of PLA cowards made them run away 😂

I watched many of SG videos!! All of which deliberately gives anti india views and anti Modi Govt views!!! Rarely he accepts the patriotism of Modi Government!! Further they show us the Congress Govt successes!!! Some times I get doubt that it's not reflecting the true patriotic Indian view!!

China has integrated commands structures. Which means infantry is supported by light mechanized divisions, snipers and armored personal vehicles and now drones. It is the need of the hour that Indian troops are modernized to the US/European level.

You may be mistakenly called indian army comrades . May be that word is correct in that line . But don't use same next time because it hurts us.

India should also create dual use villages. Many rich people who have retired would like to live in the beauty of the nature and also indirectly contribute to the security of the border

Pakistan has a lot of trouble on it's western border . It's internal security too is nothing better. This is China helping Pakistan get some relief on it's eastern border by increasing the pressure on India.

Well the chinese dog could also end up on a chinese dinner table !!!😄😄

Stop buying Chinese goods. MG, BYD. Dont buy them.

NO ONE is disputing the fact that the Chinese crossed the LAC this time for no provocation... NO ONE is disputing the fact that they were detected countered & repulsed by the Indian Army... It is beyond comprehension why the opposition parties are complaining instead of standing in solidarity and showing a united India.... Simply hopeless

Sir if a detailed analysis is done of clashes previously and the present one the pattern appears to be clear. The clashes generally happen when parliament is in sesssion or the session is about to begin irrespective of which govt is in power. This basically is done so that the work in parliament gets stalled and new bills are not passed pushing things behind on development front. This is because the neighbors have understood how any party in opposition behaves when such a fodder is available.

I appreciate the clarity of your narration. Mountain warfare is a very different ball game. In high-altitude warfare, we are the best.

संकट में चीन तो कांग्रेस और कम्युनिस्ट समर्थन में क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं | भारत में कुछ ऐसे कठोर कानून की आवश्यकता है जो ऐसे राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा से जुड़े मामलों में बयानबाजी करने वालों पर सीधा कार्रवाई हो सके। 2004 में चीन के साथ व्यापार घाटा 2.4 बिलियन डॉलर था जो 2013-14 तक 44 बिलियन डॉलर हो गया । इस घाटे के बढ़ने का कारण कांग्रेस सरकार द्वारा चीन से आयातित माल को या तो ड्यूटी फ्री कर दिया या ड्यूटी बहुत कम कर दी थी । कांग्रेस द्वारा चीन कमुनिस्ट पार्टी से किए गए 2008 का MoU इसकी जड़ में था ।

I think you guys have enough subscribers to get a larger physical map and a pointing stick. As usual, great info, but CTC infra needs some tech/upgrade.

Shekhar Sir !!! With all due respect humbly request you to get to the point right away. I hear a lot of miscellaneous information but very little on the actual issue.

Guptaji the real credit for doing something should go to the person or team who actually DOES IT, NOT THE ONES WHO MERELY PROPOSE OR SUGGEST IT... CONgress has never delivered for India especially on the infrastructure side.... BJP has performed stellarly on this count.... I hope u give credit where it is due... Also please note we. Lost China in 62 due to our reluctance to arm our army properly and nehrus dream of indi chini bhai bhai... Modiji knows that the Chinese only respect power and has responded in the language they will understand... Vande mataram 🇮🇳... Jai hind, 🇮🇳

That jibe at TV channels 👌😂

Thanks SG & Team.

SG guru Ur knowledge R superb 👌

here before ccp bots do their thing..

I'm wondering how come you didn't think the political angle of this incident. It is clearly done to divert the minds of Chinese people from Covid management failure and protests in China. Please give your views on this.

Was eagarly waiting for this

Next episode must be about revolutionary fusion experiment breakthrough !

Boycott chinese goods & online applications...this is the only way as a common man i could support India & indian soldiers. Take oath & we as an indians should show how to attain the victory by intellectual acts not by losing blood & soldiers life.

Latest videos show that the Indian Army actually beat the $hit outta Chinese PLA troops. *Btw, we don't use the word "comrades" here in India.*

As usual clear headed analysis...SG can stop talking about Commando comics Channels to differentiate his Post...those who come here are not looking for jingoism rather actual news. Also pls dont legitimise chinese "xiaokang villages"...these are platoon level forces in Civilian Clothing...like how Pakistani's Kashmiri's(aka Punjabi's) in PoK.

These clashes will become more common as india closes the distance between prc faster and faster. If indians really outnumbered the chinese then there are alarm bells ringing in the CMC.

Not amatuer but one of the best sociologist IND has on Pan IND tribals knowledge May God bless his soul

when we buy a residential plot in any place our first step is to secure our plots boundary...what's India done for it's border.

Much needed clarity!☺☺

Excellent info, thanks.

Whenever PM Modi, meets President Xi, be it in Chennai or Bali, we have observed a follow-up aggression from PLA, Galwan and now Arunachal

Great research Shekhar ji, truly educative. EXCELLENT show.

Come on SG, learn to connect the dots with China. The clash is a signal to India that they not happy with the K5 launch in a few days.

Lovely book suggestions. Thank you.

Who are the NGOs that work against India by staying inside the borders of India?

Dear Shekhar, Nuranang River, Nuranang Falls (or Jang Falls) and Jaswant Memorial are all located between Sela Pass and Tawang Chu. They are nowhere close to Yangtse which is much to the North.

S. Gupta is the best ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🙏thankyou once again to you..your style..of reporting..about today's day-to-day happenings...(since 1970's" journalism which we don't get to see in today's)...the way you do especially on Today's 'the-burning-Issues"...of today's...'burning issues that's currently peastering all of us today... It's very educational for my younger children.. 👌👍

Thanks a lot to bring out The roles Of Assam rifles

I was eagarly waiting for CTC on Tawang

Thanks for providing authentic information.

Sir hats off to ur team

We should put some of the spokespersons of opposition to these snow ladden heights and then wait for their timely voices.Sitting in their cozy rooms,it is very easy to criticize. Our armed forces are doing their best to defend us in the most difficult terrains. Jai Hind Army!

That was truly a quick coverage as the story unfolded in the Indian press . But , what’s truly intriguing and mystifying is Why wasn’t Parliament immediately informed during session ? PM / Raksha mantri / Grih mantri were in Gujarat for the swearing in ceremony in the interim . However the brilliant Indian press broke this story and Raksha mantri had to issue the statement rather belatedly in Parliament .

Your rationale that Tawang is too far away is erroneous. It's is Indian territory and it is as simple as that..that said a good delivery.

As if we are listening from China"s mouth piece!!

The Congress supporters will now say see Modi is executing projects, which were MMS's brainchild ignoring the fact that there was opposition from within Congress and NGOs (funded by adversaries) hence people question strategic vision of Congress overall. Execution is important, and that is where BJP scores in comparison to Congress.

This really did cut the clutter. All day every whatsapp group has bombarded an old video of a clash. It’s only now that I learnt there is actually no video of the current clash. However I did see a photo of ‘dandas’ or batons that our soldiers have as part of sector stores which our soldiers use when you have to deal with the Chinese on the border but not open fire. That’s a learning from Galwan clash.

Pls increase engagement with us army to poke insult at China more. If they want india to stay away from usa then china need to sacrifice relations with Pakistan too

Thanks Mr. SG An insightful discourse about the nuances of Indo - China border dispute

Its indo Tibet border not with chinese ....social media should stop saying indo chinese border

Excellent coverage. It worth a paid subscription✌🙏

I hate congress to core, they didn't allow development project, that old man ramesh haddelayed the projects getting money form NGO. its dangerous to elect anyone apart from BJP in 2024 election. congi & appis will make India weak

Need larger volume. Becomes difficult to hear. Kindly understand the issue.

Thank god, SG doesn't have touch screen TV.

The meaning of tawang clash is simple. The enemy china is always up to some mischievous action at the LCA to keep the indians up on the toes.

Great analysis by Mr Shekhar Gupta ji on Tawang clash 🙌

When Tibet get independence than india and China war is over. Otherwise never end for war . China and India war in Tibet place 😅

You are conveniently ignoring that Lt Gen Kulkarni who commanded a Brigade at Tawang confirmed that the video was from Yangste although from a different time.....Just watch the interview with Nitin Gokhale in Strat News Global.

Very sad state of affairs. The Taiwan war will happen by 2027. Next will be India -- India should do everything to avoid war with China. War will disrupt India's economic growth. India will have to concede territory to CHina in order to attain peace.

Gupta ji 🙏

Thank you for the information

*forwarded as recieved Here is the entire sequence of events* 1. The buildup of the 9th December at Thang La started around last week of November 2022 when the frequency of face-offs in the sector spiked suddenly. Battalion Commanders alarmed by the sudden increase in sightings of PLA patrols in their AOR quietly reinforced their flanks. 2. Alert troops at posts overlooking known PLA ingress positions with HHTI (Hand Held Thermal Imagers) reported large body of PLA troops forming up using the fog as cover. SITREP at 6am on 9th December 2022 was sent to Brigade HQ and QRTs placed strategically were mobilized. 3. The PLA which had conducted a detailed headcount of the number of troops at Thang La was confident that they would be able to overwhelm the the 50 odd troops with a 6:1 superiority. Unknown to them IA QRTs which had moved in from the rear echelons were already in position but not visible to PLA sensors. 4. As the battalion sized force of the PLA attempted to surround Thang La , the IA troops at Thang La formed a human chain around the post to deter the large PLA. A lot of cursing , pushing ensued with soldiers from both sides grappling bulky winter clothing. 5. Taking advantage of the chaos PLA troops at the rear armed with tasers, spiked clubs & monkey gloves moved towards the front to surprise the IA troops. All of this was being quietly observed by the IA Command Post which quickly radioed multiple QRTs to reinforce Thang La. 6. Closely placed echelons of IA QRTs on the lower ridges and the river valley were quickly able to reinforce the 50 troops firmly facing the PLA onslaught and reinforcements poured in from multiple directions immediately after being radioed. 7. What started with abuses and stone pelting gradually progressed to fisticuffs and then fierce hand to hand combat where the PLA troops were overpowered and in some cases their weapons were used against them. 8. This free for all went on until the PLA found itself losing ground with many of their troops overpowered and battered while IA troops kept pouring in with their own melee weapons.Things went south from there and the PLA troops started falling back. 9. The IA troops were in no mood to relent and went after the retreating PLA troops who were running for their lives after having borne the burnt of the counter-attack. Gunshots were heard from the PLA's rear as they attempted to deter further assault. 10. The area of the faceoff has been reinforced with a Bde size force and the units in the vicinity are on a high state of alert. All in all a very comprehensive drubbing for the PLA with a dozen plus of their troops dead or extremely critical (skulls opened/crushed).

This is an important news

Shekhar if you want to talk about Tawang region you have to talk about McMohan and 1914 Shimla Treaty signed between India and Tibet to understand it. Otherwise you are not doing justice.

Mr Shekhar-----the Indian army has soldiers---not comrades. I should know--I am a Army brat.

I think you forgot to mention the political messaging by China as this operation comes two weeks after the Modi-Xi interaction in Bali.

THANKS SG. YOU ALWAYS MAKE EVERYTHING SO SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND. COMES HANDY FOR MY UPSC PREPARATIONS. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What a wonderful episode. Went to Bumla pass this October and saw the Chinese soldiers in PPE kit and wondered why no answere can't take their picks waited for ctc the answere was right there . Thank you.

Dear Admin, This video's volume is horribly low.

No wonder Shashi tharoor watches the print. Such coverage, much wow. 🙌🏻

China India have to fight a war again. We all know we took control of Arunachal Pardesh after 1952, before that it was part of Tibet/China. Usa saved us in 1962 and chinese gone back 10-20km back from LAC.

🤔🤔🤔 Build a fifteen to twenty feet strong solid concrete wall across borders of China and India. PROBLEM SOLVED!! No more fighting and no injuries...

The one thing Chinese takes advantage is the HESITANCY of the Indian soldiers. The moment of the clash showed a bunch of overpowered Chinese troops still trying to fight back and the hesitantly Indian soldiers hitting the barb wires 80% of the time, not on the Chinese.

Great episode

Tawang region was Tibetan area given to British India in 1914 by Tibet in return British India promise to recognize the Sino-Tibetan border. The then border was called McMohan. But British India behind the back of Tibet sign a treaty that Tibet is part of China. So Tibetan took control of the region and British India couldn't do anything simply as it deceived Tibet. So Tibet ruled it until Tibet lost its independence in 1950. Seeing the opportunity GoI sent soldier to occupy it. Tibetans still treat it as Indian but to validate it India must recognize it based on the 1914 Shimla Treaty signed with India and Tibet.

Indian government defending its image for votes.. Indian army defending nation 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Hit the Chinese hard

Hi pls request SG to declutter the nuclear fusion breakthrough achieved by US scientists in CTC. Regards

Here’s why I’m out not watching or subscribing 1. The tone is always monotonous. 2. 25-30 mins for every video is too much. It feels like the first 3-5 mins any way give 80% of the intended content. 3. There is no humour to keep the audience engaged. At best I put your videos before going to bed and I’m rest assured everyday I go to sleep sub consciously by the 6th minute after consuming the initial content. Nothing else on the internet takes me to sleep this easily so keep up the good work sir. You were better of reporting for tv channels, and now with the drop in your viewership online and you begging or rather demanding the viewers to subscribe/pay it feels you’ve lost the battle. I was a big admirer once but not anymore.

Thanks shekhar ji..you are really cool..
