  • The US-India Strategic Relations: a Brief Report by Dr
    The US-India Strategic Relations: A Brief Report By Dr. Sohail Mahmood Tensions between India and China increased after skirmishes in the contested Pangong Lake region of eastern Ladakh in the Kashmir region bordering the two countries in the Himalayas. On June 15 there occurred a border clash between the two countries in the contested Galwan valley in the Ladakh region in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed, and several Chinese casualties but it is yet to give out details. According to a US intelligence report, the number of casualties on the Chinese side was 35.i The fighting was the first-time soldiers were killed over the border dispute since 1967. China and India went to war over their disputed border issues in a 1962 conflict that spilled into Ladakh and ended with an uneasy truce. Since then, troops from opposing sides have guarded the undefined, mountainous 2,200-mile border area, occasionally clashing. Today, Indian and Chinese officials are holding talks to try to resolve a months-long standoff along their disputed frontier, where the two countries have deployed tens of thousands of soldiers. There was a wave of nationalism sweeping India, the likes of which has not been seen before. After the Galwan Valley border clash between the two countries, there was a popular call for a boycott of Chinese products. Although there is a stalemate on the border, tensions between the two countries continue to escalate, resultantly. The Indian- controlled territory runs along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), a loose demarcation line created after the 1962 China-Indian War and now the de facto border between the two countries.
