The Chinese high commission touched a high voltage wire by messing with a nuclear powered daring country like India at Galwan Valley in Ladakh at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) earlier this month.

Santosh Babu, in the confrontation with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) sent shockwaves across the country on June 15.

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi led Central Government of India took serious cognisance of the incident and decided to nail the tooth shown by the Chinese army. The country increased its military muscle power at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) by deploying double stock of army troops than that by Chinese PLA.
The wave of aggression against China moved fast across India, with people protesting against China and sloganeering ‘Hindi-Chini Bye-Bye’. The nation demanded a boycott of Chinese apps and products to give a befitting reply to the dragon country on the economic front. The PM Modi led government decided to cut ties with the Chinese companies to teach Xi Jinping ruled China a lesson. Several crore worth contracts with the Chinese companies in India were terminated citing various reasons, in the aftermath of the Galwan Valley violent clash.
The Chinese mouthpiece, Global Times, continued its attempt to frighten the third best army powered country like India by showing some allegedly doctored videos of PLA’s military mock drill. It also accused India of working on instigation from superpower country, United States of America (USA). However, India kept strategizing it’s action plan to engirdle the dragon country to pin down its arrogance against it.
