This is crazy, for the first time in 45 years a clash between china and India has resulted in deaths, early reports put it at 3 deaths, now its been raised to 20, with claims that China lost twice that (take that with a massive pinch of salt). By reports it also happened without a shot being fired so it would have presumably been by blunt objects such as rocks and stones which have been used as weapons in the past.
It's going to be very interesting to see what happens with this. India has to do something because at the moment they look very weak and the sharks are circling. 2 diplomats were abducted and tortured in Pakistan on Monday, Nepal killed some civilians at the disputed border last week and India is still being hammered by Corona.
PM Modi says sacrifice of Indian soldiers will not go in vain
E1. Translation of Modis speech
Interesting to see how much of India I've learning since school is not the actually under India. Also it is disgusting to see people being patriotic over number of people their country killed.
