If we had actually taken a measured approach we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

We were caught by surprise we weren't prepared as shown by our emergency procurement.

We have already jumped into a risky situation without any analysis and what you are seeing right now is the result of it.
Aggressor having the advantage is nature of the game.

But as observers we should also keep in mind that the fundamental security doctrine of India has been a defensive doctrine for decades, the behaviour so far has not been out of character.

Expectation that Indian security establishment will shed its doctrine without any debate is a fool’s errand.

the details of who took action whether local commander or Modi is of significance to an internal saboteur like you not to the Chinese. I have mentioned that as one line. If you feel it was not a punitive action it is fine.

But GoI did embark on economic and diplomatic punitive actions.

But your case is to find a fault and thus you are blind to all other things.
quite a few people have assumed that war means fighting with missiles and bullets only. but in modern days, war comes in many forms and economic sanction is one of them.

Didn't you say you know people in PLA ?

Can you actually get free passes ?
When I was in Zhoushan for the spare parts of the ship's i got to knew a person, an ex PLAN's personnel working for the company had even given me a free tour of the shipyard that was building the Type 52D class destroyer's , but strictly no photo's . That was way back in 2019 .

probably, they are not out of mind. they are stretching us thin.
they won't cross mountains. they will take little bit of our land (at this juncture), might be few km. and for doing so, they assumed, we don't have the guts to retaliate.

just think, no country will ever threaten (with a war) India with 40/50k or 100k troops until and unless it's sure that India won't retaliate. and I'm afraid, but they are completely right in their study (till now).

now they are bringing troops and consolidating their positions. they won't attack. they will just defend their newly acquired positions. we have to attack them to oust them from there. will a mirror deployment from our side be very useful in that regard?

I'm sorry but imo till now we are playing in their terms.
Agree with everexcept the stretch us thin part. You can’t teally stretch the Indian army thin, too massive a force and the Chinese don’t have superior numbers to do that. Everything else, spot on.

why after being reassured for decades that we are read for two fronts?
Your statement on the surface is correct,

As per laid down rules who is responsible for "Defence of India"....

Like the US and many other countries why does not that authority publish yearly or four yearly threat assessment and strategic approaches.

Who should be capable of making such statements as to whether India is prepared for a two-front war or not? Two front wars without assessing scenarios and force levels and own force levels have no meaning...

Way back a committee tasked to assess national security threats and make a recommendation on the restructuring of the National Security apparatus was constituted under Naresh Chandra. They said many things..

Care to catch GoI on that account ..

Chinese have unofficially started the war we just haven’t acknowledged it.
They have never stopped their War on India since 1950s... recent events of opposing Indian entry into NSG, veto on terrorists, taking J&K issues to UNSC etc are cats of war by other means. Complete Pakistani Security apparatus rests on China. The only difference is that this time they have decided to be active on military confrontation...

Any cached page ? Maybe this is just Indian fan art..
i think this from either international lobby or private lobby. if reported are to be believed then hal has already developed fold-able blades and tail section helicopter. if there are any short-comings then navy needs to work with HAL to rectify it rather then blindly commenting that only international or private player should build helicopter. hal have built more then 400+ helis and lot of different variants.

navy needs to provide requirements clearly first
