India China Reach Historic Patrol Agreement On LAC, Where Are The Doubters, Lutyens Asks Arnab

India and China’s decision to resolve the military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) marks a significant shift, signaling their intent to manage disputes independently. This development comes as the U.S. sought to pressure India into aligning against China, using fear tactics to position itself as India’s only support in a conflict. However, by re-establishing joint patrolling along the LAC, India and China show they are working towards resolution without external interference, asserting equal footing with both China and the U.S. During the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan, Prime Minister Modi is expected to engage with both Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin . This progress reflects the Modi government’s strategic approach, contrasting with the earlier inaction during the Congress -led government, which saw Chinese incursions like the 2013 PLA camp intrusion. Meanwhile, the government’s foreign policy successes extend beyond China. India has strengthened regional ties—Maldives adopting UPI, Sri Lanka receiving vital assistance, Mauritius benefiting from a rupee credit line, and Bhutan collaborating on energy and e-mobility. Despite these achievements, critics remain silent, offering no acknowledgment of the government’s diplomacy and crisis management.
