Chinese Belligerence on the Line of Actual Control (LAC)

India’s Approach

Abstract

The article traces the background to the Chinese belligerence on the Line of Actual Control (LAC )right from the early 1950s and brings us up to date on the many instances of clashes or standoffs between the two countries. It carries a sector-by-sector brief analysis and thereafter gives out nine crisp points that come up as an assessment of the actions taken by India to get an understanding of India’s approach. This brings out that India has been adopting measures commensurate with the time, resources, state of infrastructure and diplomatic and military capabilities to handle the situations that arise along the LAC.
