India Masses Forces on Chinese Border: Just weeks after a violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops at the disputed Himalayan border, New Delhi has moved in thousands of soldiers.

“We have a deployment of the Indian army on the China border that we have never had. It is done in order to counter Chinese deployment, which has been scaled up massively since 2020,” Jaishankar told reporters in Delhi on Monday.
