Nothing happened. Few mountains disappeared, few Pandas were killed. Environmental damage. A la Balakote style.

Okay, we get it:

No PLA soldier was hurt.

The Beetroot Manchurian takes umbrage to beetroot being used to highlight the embarassment he has faced.

So, slowly builds up narrative to prep public on 'deaths'.

Its a two pronged approach.

1. To build public for acceptance of PLA KIA at LAC.

2. To project a 'victory'

The reserve, of keeping the sentiment in public for defence, is always there - launch of offensive operations to take few areas from India.

For now, its the former. Declaration of a victory - for now.

On Indian side, attracted a lot of brickbats for stating on June 12th 2020 that 'no territory loss' will be pushed out & new status of LAC will be accepted.

Well, that is the case. Status quo ante - gone.

New staus quo, will hold, for now.

GoI, in the interim, needs to re-look at ITBP & its operational control.

And MHA needs to introspect.

There are lot of skeletons in that closet there.

As for MEA, the babus need a scrutiny. A pervasive thought of saying in negotiations that border is not delineated with China while telling Indians that Simla Convention of 1914 is valid, smacks of some rot.

That needs a thorough cleaning.

This is the "thought" now.
