 PANGONG TSO, INDIA CHINA CONFLICT 


CHINESE BRINGS MORE BOATS TO LAKE IN  THE LADAKH.


PANGONG TSO:

  • Pangong tso is a long narrow deep ,landlocked lake  situated at a height of more than 14,000 ft in the Ladakh himalayas.

  • The134 km long lake lies over 600 sq km in the shape of a boomerang and is 6-7 km wide at its broadest point.

  • It is a brackish water (salt water as well as fresh water ) lake  freezes over in winters and becomes ideal for ice skating and polo.


DIPLOMACY AND STRATEGIC VIEWS:

 

  • Indian assessment shows that a major chinese offensive, if it comes ,will flow across both the north and south of the lake.

  • During the 1962 war ,this was where China launched its main offensive. and Rezangla pass is near this lake.

  • Over the year, the chinese built roads along the bank of Pangong lake which were able to provide back support from the main area of China .

  • During the Kargil war  when our  regiment who guards this area sent to Kargil sector , which seems as an opportunity to build a road  by china and they constructed a 5 km road in our territory.

CONTROVERSY:


The barren mountains on the Lake's northern bank are called "FINGERS" by Indian Army.

Total there are 8 Fingers in the bank of the Lake.

After the 1962 war Aksai chin was captured by China and New line of Actual control was constructed.


India claims that the LAC is bordering with Finger 8 ,But it physically controls area only up to Finger 4.


Chinese border posts are at finger 8 , while they believe that LAC passes through finger 2.


And hence the confrontation usually happens between 4th finger and 8th Finger.


Some years back, China was doing construction at Finger 4th ,Indian Army strongly opposed it.


China has now stopped the Indian soldier move beyond Finger 2.This became a dispute which is still developing.

Earlier chinese had superior boats, so they had advantages ,or a domination ,but now India has purchased Tampa boats.

 

TACKLING:

After a boat from the other side is spotted moving into its own water ,an equal  number of boats are dispatched to tackle the enemy.

Why Greed when we got Happiness

Why greed when we got happiness When I was returning from college , I saw a boy of our course ,who was going home alone not only that day but also many times. I had seen him in solitude. He looks pretty much disturbed or like something eating him from inside. The very next day ,I accompanied him on his way back and tried to strike up a conversation with him,by introducing myself. His response was quite unenthusiastic and I could tell he was not interested. After that I asked his classmates about him ,they said he doesn't talk with anyone and a meek person , after that I started to gave him company everyday, One day I asked him why you are like this , I mean why you so alone and look depressed ,he denied and said nothing only , AfterTen-Twelve day  I asked him again after a little friendship.
