While China looking for talks to resolve the situation with India, some in Indian military want "limited action" against China.

What a loser of a country! Jet shot down, pilot returned by Pakistan, shoots own helicopter killing 7, then 20 dead soldiers messing with the PLA, 50 captured and returned by China. Both these conflicts, India never had anything except claims while the other side had POWs, wreckage, etc... And they still want more action? China should tell them if they want more action, don't accept the return of POWs; that comes after the conflict. Asking for POWs back and wanting to keep fighting is like trying to continue the fight after you already tapped out and got released.

I have to admire the resilience of the Indian people. Luckily, it seems Modi still has some control over the military...

So is there any sort of plausible scenario where 20 people die yet?

I asked before, could this been some kind of road accident or some other such mishap?

As I said, I find it highly unlikely that anyone on any side could be so savage. Especially if the case was that PLA did not suffer any fatalities. Nor do I believe in any stupid reports of boards with nails in them or other such improvised nonsense. There’s no logic to that.

Based on the latest news I think the picture couldn’t be any clearer. There is light or no casualties on the PLA side and they were in command of the situation through out the conflict. I find it hard to believe that the Indian soldiers were able to inflict heavy losses while (supposedly unarmed) against a larger force of club wielding Chinese with pretty much all of their commanding officers either killed or captured.

My belief is that their commanding officers were neutralized early during the fight and the rest of the soldiers panicked and fled, which is understandable considering that it was cold and dark at the time. Many of them died from exposure or self inflicted injuries while jumping into the Galwan River.

In the west Pacific, China mostly relies on their navy and air force, while they will rely on their ground troops on the Indian border. By the time they will need their ground troops on their east coast, they will be in a lot of trouble, as in a full scale foreign invasion is happening and their navy and AF have been wiped out...

I don't think there will be a war between China and India at this time, based on the reactions of both governments. They are mostly quiet despite the emotions on the Indian streets. The Indian military might want a fight to avenge their defeat in 1962, but they don't make decisions. I am coming to believe that the Chinese had won the hand-to-hand combat so lopsided that the Indian military is thinking twice about fighting now. Also, the Indians had been bolstered by their preparation in the regions for the past few decades. They thought they had the superiority. Yet, for the past few weeks, the Chinese just demonstrated their capability to mobilize so quickly and efficiently to the potentially troubling sites. I think this whole thing will go away quickly.

PLAAF and PLARF are crucial assets in a confrontation on each front. Land army would play a secondary role to missile and air force in a war on such unfriendly terrain IMO.
