Michael Kugelman and his type in all those US think tanks, simply are unwilling to say something as fairly simple as "India experiences far more Islamic terrorism against itself, right on its soil, than do the US, UK and France, from Iran, Iraq or Syria. And much of that emanates from Pakistan"
many nations have a hard time comprehending how such a large nation is always threatened ??
They have different agenda regarding India Pakistan and India china.
Why mix two? Use them against china , ignore them against Pakistan.

If we seek people completely in synk with our views on all issue that we may find no one to work with.

Green-collar talks are basically time-shopping. White-collar talks are optics for each other's local populations.

We are beyond the point where talks will defuse this. Modi will see two options in front of him. Take the brave step of hostilities with an intent to recover Galwan valley; or make concessions to China. After that he will resign from PM's post for having lost land to China.

But knowing Modi, the boy who once sold tea at a railway station, in a hot dusty corner of India, who rose to power against countless powerful, wealthy, and better networked people; he will take the bravest step possible.
My Dear Sir... the monsoon are on our head... time is running out . Soon Galwan and Shyok rivers will be in spate and crossing those on foot nearly impossible... Cloud will be bursting and glacial lakes would be bursting out. All posts to be contested are across.. The last 45 km are yet to blacktopped. There will be landslides disrupting vehicular traffics. Time is running out.

Then Modi can forget about it unless Indian Corps commanders. COAS and CDS have advised Modi to wait for Shyok and Galwan Mata to wash the Chinese into Pakistan. and the plateau mud and slush bogging down the Chinese.

Looks like emergency procurements are underway
Procurements are fine, but what are they going to be armed with? The R-77 that we have and supposedly Russia's answer to the American AMRAAMs and similar Chinese missiles, has a range of only 80km!!

However, along with the induction of the Astra, the IAF is also currently integrating the Israeli I-Derby Extended Range missile on the SUs and the long-range Meteor missile. Also, India's air strike capabilities would be significantly enhanced with the Astra's induction.

Modifications needed to integrate these missiles with the additional SUs we're getting will take time. This needs to be speeded up.

We have probably gotten longer range version of r77 and r27. Also Astra production can be ramped up fast.

Hope people are working right now with USA. I think we shall need Americans at this point for intelligence as well as equipment. USA is the only country in the world which can provide India with urgent supplies.

Next step from them will be to sell weapons at exorbitant price citing same common enemy - common weapons to deal with them for better coordination...
Atleast US made weapons will be top notch. And US is not going to sit out like the Kargil War, they will take advantage of the situation like the Israelis did in 99.

So Chinese are trying to create a fait accompli in previous grey area.

War is only solution.
GOI absolutely tried to hide the truth from public that Chinese are not there hoping that this was a normal PLA incursion & this buildup was basically not too serious. This was our mistake that we trusted the Chicoms. And then Jaishankar statement has only added fuel to the fire. War is the only option to throw the Chinese back to where they came from & if BJP was serious about Aksai Chin this is the opportunity. It's now or never.

The worst and most asinine idea - to buy more older generation planes when we are inducting latest Rafales and Tejas.

All of the following options are superior to this.

1. Order 30 used Armée de l'Air Rafales - all could be fitted with India Specific Enhancements that have already been developed and integrated. These could be delivered very quickly maybe by 2021 end.

2. Exercise option for 36 more new Rafales - Dassault can build 3 a month no problem. It will take Dassault until 2024/25 to deliver all 72.

3. Initially lease 30 French Rafales without upgrade - while Dassault delivers the new ones. We can get the aircraft immediately. We did this with the first 2 SEPECAT Jaguar sqdns. This way we could have 2 more Rafale sqds operational in 1 year.

4. Order another 30 Tejas Mk1A to be delivered without affecting delivery of existing 83. I feel HAL should be able to do it since they have mastered production.
