India moved its first class strike corps close to Sikkim outskirt to counter the Chinese armed force’s war bores in Tibet. The debate finished following 73 days when Chinese People’s Liberation Army and Indian Army pulled back their soldiers from the contested site.
It is in India’s geo-political enthusiasm to shield its regional power from a potential Chinese animosity in future that its Army needs to keep up the military vigil in the region.
