Four years have passed since the violent clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley, yet the border standoff remains unresolved despite numerous military and diplomatic engagements. The Narendra Modi government, now in its third term, faces a complex situation as China remains steadfast in its position. On the intervening night of June 15-16, 2020, a physical clash in Galwan Valley between the Indian Army and the People’s Liberation Army in Eastern Ladakh resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers, including a Colonel. The clash was the first violent incident resulting in bloodshed since 1975 when for the first time shots were fired at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). As today marks four years since the violent clash took place, ABP Live takes a look back at the series of events that led to the June 15 clash.
