Yeah thats why the negotiation happened between militaries. Civilains had failed, MoD failed, Modi Failed, Xi failed, things went out of control. But India negotiated with PLA not to fight. NSA spoke to froeign minister of China why? They were not ready to back off then why was the need to speak?
You are running around and around
Some sort of inferiority complex hurting you?
Reply of Ghatak was enough to make Chinese hit back why didn't they do that?
And meanwhile Modi was making these statements
Indian negotiations had only one meaning leave our land and India did sufficient mobilization to make Chinese piss in their pants my only question is why Chinese left the territory? Moved back from their own claimed land.
War in today's era is not always with fought on border it's also depend on your deterrence factor now it's going to be a amazing walk on how IA will grow after these crisis.
