India-China clash


Recommended Posts

Quite curious confrontation in which a reported 20 Indian soldiers died.
 

Quote

India's prime minister has said the deaths of at least 20 soldiers in a fight with Chinese troops in a disputed Himalayan border area "will not be in vain".

Narendra Modi said India would be "proud that our soldiers died fighting the Chinese" in the clash in the Ladakh region on Monday.
 

Soldiers reportedly brawled with sticks, bats and bamboo sticks studded with nails. No shots were fired.

Both sides blamed each other.

It all seems a bit odd.  If opposition forces are beating your compatriots to death with sticks and you are armed, surely you'd open fire.

 

The foothills of the Himalayas is one (quite vast) place in the world I'd love to visit.

There's something about these reports that doesn't add up. No shots fired? 20 killed with sticks and stones, surrounded by massive firepower. My arse.

Yes, you wouldn't expect more than broken bones.

sounds a bit like a Glasgow gang fight 

It was a chib fest.

 

The Chinese lined up with the Calton San Toi, and the Indians were led off by the Brigton Dehli.

 

Dennistoun Minstrels are already singing the tale, it's a no mean ditty.
