Several times BSF and/or IA have been ambushed by various organizations ( terrorist or PA) along LoC or IB/WB, so your point being?
They are not Suitably armed Like BSF or IA on LOC

I would like to know about the defence treaties (if any) we have with Japan and South Korea.

I don't agree that we should aggressively patrol in SCS. But things should be like this that if needed India can intervene in any situation within a short period of time.
I don't think there is anything close to defence agreement with S Korea it is still in development stage & they also enjoy trade surplus with us I guess. Japan is relatively much closer to us & a member of Quad so we may see logistics agreement with them soon. Modi is also on friendly terms with Abe.

Because ITBP jawans in a single file, hidden by the ridge at F4 without artillery support were asking for it.. There is no way around it, unles we blow up the ridge, or create sustainable supply lines beyond F4
That Is Why we need To Arm them as RR

Because it's LAC and current understanding prevents them from. Even IA is either unarmed/rifle without magazine in well/ barrel pointed downward.

Can't really blame them for following mandate. Speaks more of their training rather than lack of it.

That's not your original contention. You have to prove, if we make the aggrement toilet paper, how would ITBP conduct itself lesser than BSF?

Yes ITBP ethos and culture was far better than any police force under central govt till it had a fixed geographical composition of hill people.

Today ITBP is like any other police force (CAPF) with all India composition, 50 percent reservations in constabulary and officers, including reservations in promotions. 50 percent or more constabulary is over 40 years of age,- you name it and it suffers from all police ills.

Like all others CAPF the focus of ITBP is not mountain and high-altitude/winter warfare but internal security, guarding constellations and being distributed to Saheb;s bunglows to do personal errands in the name of security. Call it the IPS effect.

ITBP has ceased to be the fine force it once used to be. No way it can be converted into Infantry who operate radars. modern signal equipment, sophisticated electronic sensors. missiles, UAVs, Mortars. has Ghataks, Snippers and a fleet of modern vehicles.

@wzsasa
Infantry is the most difficult job demanding everything from a man right from raw guts to advance technical capability. The only Arm of the Indian Army which has no trade - all are infantrymen but trained and capable of handling that is there with the battalion.
