The editor of force magazine which focuses on Indian Military matters and hes also the coauthor of a book dragon on our doorstep looking at indias military policies with china france army troops of bolts nations an eyeball to eyeball contact for over a month now was it only a matter of time before such a deadly clash what dr. No i dont think so because the neither side wanted an escalation and if you see in this clash no fight on the been used its basically some heated moments which were beyond anybodys control and does at this time the people have died because of beacons and stones thrown basically have been lynched as you rightly pointed out we dont take our goodies on thing and inside the other side we dont know but no we also know that also because of the very uncommitted general to start now they are confabulating and theyre trying to defuse the situation so this was certainly not on the cards at all whereas both cried and hugged on the build up one can imagine the dead be significant pressure on the indeed the ship to respond and you also recently served india has no military options in love god if thats the case what happens next.
