a century 2 nuclear powers pushed to the brink battling it out with that. india wants peace but when. it is capable of giving if it's in replying any kind of situation the indian side would best not make an incorrect judgement of the situation would best not underestimate china's strong determination to keep safe in territory high up in the remote areas 2 of the most populous countries in the world a once again battle over 2100 mile long border but monday marked the fuss deadly clash in decades into the last 20 soldiers while china's losses remain unclear so how did it come to this well in 1914 with india still under british rule chief negotiator said we must come on to a line on a map and named it off to himself endure except to china didn't those who

indiscriminately took to him up with a ruler never gave it a 2nd thought leaving these 2 countries to grapple with a conflict that continues to this day monday's events will undoubtedly be with interest by the pool which is also looking to write a historical wrong at the hands of the brits just days ago and thought it updated its mop laying claim to 3 new previously indian territories every touring what surprisingly hasn't gone down well in new delhi this artificial enlargement of claims is not based on historical facts or evidence and is not tenable it is also violative of our current understanding to hold talks on outstanding boundary issues in $816.00 the pools signed a humiliating treaty with the british east india company and handed over lands which were then inherited by india off to the brits left and now over 200 years
