On October 21, the day before Prime Minister Modi left for Russia to attend the BRICS leaders’ meeting, India and China announced the signing of a military agreement on the Line of Actual Control. Relations between the two countries have been tense since violent clashes between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Galwan in 2020. In this case, 3D formulas were invented to solve 2D problems.
India and China have agreed to withdraw their troops and resume patrols along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The consent is related to patrolling in Depsang and Demchok areas. To solve this 2D (Depsang and Demchok) problem, 3D i.e. detachment, degradation and D-induction formulas are used.
What are 2D screws?
India and China share a 3,488-km-long common border. The border borders Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh and is divided into three parts. These include the Western Region i.e. Ladakh, the Central Region i.e. Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and the Eastern Region i.e. Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh.
But the reality is that there is no border line between India and China yet. It is not officially demarcated on the ground or on any map. Latin America and the Caribbean divide the two countries.
After the violent clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in 2020, they held multiple rounds of military and diplomatic talks. Troops from both countries have since retreated from the Galwan Valley, Pangong Tso and Gogra Hot Springs, but troops are still deployed in Depsang and Demchok. Tensions increased after the Galwan incident, and both countries increased the number of troops stationed at the border.
But under this agreement between India and China, now both armies will withdraw from these areas. After the agreement is signed, soldiers from the two countries will withdraw from the India-China border, and Indian soldiers will be able to resume patrolling the China-India border in 2020.
What is a 3D formula?
To end the military standoff between India and China, India has formulated a 3D plan, namely disengagement, de-escalation and de-sensing. According to reports, these three words began to melt the ice in the relationship between the two countries, and both countries walked out of the path of confrontation and came to the negotiating table.
disengagement
Disengagement means withdrawing troops from the border. If we define it in detail, then we can understand it as a country’s declared military policy being changed to repel the army. But this happens with the mutual consent of both countries.
With the implementation of the agreement, Indian troops will be able to reach petrol stations No. 10, 11, 11A, 12, 12A and 13 in Depsang. We tell you that the Lakinara area, Y Junction area, and Bottle Neck area in Depsang are all such areas. After May 2020, when the Indian army went to its patrol points, the Chinese army did not allow India to patrol there. .
Downgrade
After the situation eases, soldiers, military equipment and weapons from both countries will return to normal. This simply means that the two armies will give up aggression and return to normalcy. This means less stress.
to sense
Under the de-induction method, the two countries decide by consensus how many troops and artillery tanks can be retained in which areas. What equipment and how many troops will be removed from the disputed areas. Currently, the two countries have deployed more than 50,000 troops along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh, which should be restored to their peacetime positions. De-induction means restoring the large numbers of soldiers and military equipment deployed there to their original locations. Only after this can the LAC be restored to its pre-April 2020 situation.
Only when the three Ds of disengagement, de-escalation and deactivation are completed, the situation at the LAC will be considered as pre-2002. Currently, according to the agreement reached between India and China, the disengagement of Depsang and Demchok means that the troops of both countries will withdraw.
Let us tell you that India’s stance on maintaining status quo 2020 at Depsang and Demchok has not changed. China respects strength. For four and a half years, India has not allowed China to advance even a step in the disputed area. China has since reached an agreement with India.
