On June 15-16, India and China border troops at Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh engaged in hand-to-hand fighting which resulted in the death of 20 Indian soldiers. While Chinese soldiers were armed with needled-sticks and stones, the Indian border troops were unarmed in line with the protocol of not carrying firearms in the forward areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The June 2020 violent skirmish was also the deadliest border stand-off between India and China since 1962 when the two countries fought a brief war in Ladakh and in northeastern India. Following the 1962 war, the LAC largely follows a ceasefire line, however, India and China disagree on where it lies. Before June 2020, the last major dispute between the two nuclear-armed states was in 2017 on the remote Doklam plateau near the borders of India, Bhutan and China. After a tense standoff, India and China had agreed to an “expeditious disengagement” of troops.
