Bhutan's foreign policy is not dictated by India. India is only responsible for the national security (defence) of Bhutan, but that too, only if Bhutan requests it.

So if Bhutan comes to us, says, hey look, China is encroaching on our land, Indian Army has authority to take control and challenge Chinese occupation like in Ladakh.

However, as you might already know, Bhutan thinks of itself as the Asian Switzerland and chooses to remain neutral. They think they can "resolve" these boundary issues with China by "talks".

In my opinion, however, Bhutan will be Poland of Asia instead.
But we need to be prepared to take over Bhutan in case of a full-blown war. PLA won't hesitate. The last thing we want is Bhutanese heights dominated by PLA artillery overlooking Assam's plains.

This puts the entire Siliguri corridor in danger including my state.

Taking control of Bhutan & Nepal would allow us to use pincer tactics and wrench Chumbi valley out of Chinese control.

Diplomacy gaya bhad mein... at the first suspicion of an attack into Bhutan, we should strike and take over, while pressuring Nepal to do the same. The only way we can match China at this point is if we dominate ALL the heights.

That pretty much includes the entire Nepal and Bhutan. Whether they like it or not. This is of course, the worst case scenario, where it comes to the literal WW3 level situation.

Remember: PLA will use as much artillery and missiles as possible since it knows that its troops are weak in combat compared to our soldiers. So expect terror tactics. That's not just a phrase people; it is the only option PLA has against us in a conventional war. On a clean 1-on-1 fight, they will end up losing thousands of men and even the conflict.

Rest assured, we can take over Bhutan in case of such hostilities with minimal losses of Bhutan's territory.

BRO under project "Dantak" builds and maintains strategic roads in Bhutan, and it is well-connected with India. Reverse, however, is not true, as no Chinese road connects Bhutan. They have only shallow encroachment on some border areas like the tweet mentioned.

Nepal, I am not sure. Neither China nor India can take control of it easily. Nepalese army is sufficiently big (~1.5 Corps sized) and will resist any armed occupation. Plus Nepal's terrain makes it a nightmare for invasion.

Can we keep astrology in another thread ? We look like our western goatshagging neighbours relying on roohani takat.

We might have the road connectivity to take over Bhutan, but we don't got the formations for it. What are we going to hold the Bhutanese mountains with? 17 Corps? Will two Divisions be enough? I haven't studied Bhutanese front but as far as I know, there are two friction areas where Chinese came in, one towards the North of Bhutan and the other being Doklam. So will one division each for these friction points be sufficient? Is there any other area where Chinese can come in?

Also, applying 17 Corps for this job means we prematurely commit our strategic reserve of the entire Eastern Sector.

Can we use Assam Rifles for some of the tasks? Also Bhutan's Army itself should be able to hold some peaks at least.



This is pure arrogance
These duffers called Arunachal as South Tibet. Did anyone give a fcuk? Toh ab bhi kuch nahi badlega.

So who will hold arunachal frontier and what about east pakistan frontier ?

Arunachal can be defended by III and IV Corps. And Chumbi valley and Sikkim by XXXIII Corps. We have XVII as the strategic reserve formation for this area, to counterattack into a breach created in enemy lines or to plug a breach in our own lines. But if its diverted to Bhutan, we won't be able to exploit weakness in Chinese lines and the initiative will be in Chinese hands.

Bangladesh won't make a move on India with the Chinese on doorstep because it guarantees decades of Indian ire. And they know China will simply use and throw them, won't come to save them if $hit hits the fan. Bangladeshis don't have nukes, there is nothing stopping India from dealing with Bangladesh by bombing them into submission immediately. Their leaders don't even have bunkers to hide in. Their Air Defences are no match for our air forces.

They are giving us , targets for artillery strikes , nothing else.
As if we are going to do it.

MEA will say we strongly condemn this. Army will outright deny it and give useless ad-hominems like but this territory was taken sometime back it is chinese territory only even though both the first and second village were constructed in 2019-2020 period itself and no attempt was made to intercept these areas and stop the construction while the govt will continue to remain mum on the entire issue.
