Indian Gov. learning from the British Raj has a habit of exporting its people into neighbouring countries and encouraging those people to act as 5th columnists so as to become absorbed into India; it's what they tried to do in Nepal and Myanmar.

As I have said it is your misunderstanding, not mine.
You're not exactly flying into Afghanistan where the risk of being shot down by SAMs or AAA is practically non-existent - whatever the Indians fly into our territorial claim risks being taken down by integrated air defense or PLAAF fighter jets.
The alleged shootdown of the Indian Mig-21/Su-30 by the Pakistanis made quite for quite the news cycle, could you imagine the headlines if one was shot down by the PLA and the pilot potentially captured? It'd hurt their wallets losing a $100m drone, but the damage would be a lot less having to fight on the propaganda front. It's hard to place a value on life.
Off topic, and confusing the issues:
There is a difference between ethnic Sri Lankan Tamils and Tamil migrants both indentured and illegal whose arrival in Sri Lanka caused an increase in their population.
From Wikipedia ( Look up " Tamil Diaspora ").
"In the 19th century, Madras Presidency (of which the Tamil Nadu region was a core part of) faced brutal famines. Great Famine of 1876–78. Tamil Nadu was both politically and economically weak. Britishers thus made use of hungry Tamil workers for their plantations all over the world - Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Mauritius, , Fiji and also Sri Lanka (distinct from the Tamils who migrated to before 18th century). Some of the Tamil groups (especially Chettiyars, Pillais, Muslims) emigrated as commercial migrants. These groups then dominated the trade and finance in Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, South Africa and other places."
Indian Army in Ladakh now fully stocked and equipped with ample food, comfortable shelters and required fuel, clothing and ammo
.
Ok so the Indian army is well provisioned and comfortably housed.
So what is the plan?
Could you check off the options below?
1. Wait for the "ill equipped ill fed" PLA to either freeze and starve or abandon their positions?
2. Attack PLA positions in the freezing weather, and push them back to the pre-April 2020 positions ?
3. Attack PLA positions in the freezing weather, and retake Aksai Chin and all territories lost in the 1962 conflict?
4. Wait until the Chinese Foreign Minister calls to announce a unilateral surrender and withdrawal from all of Tibet and Xinjiang?
5.Wait for another 58 years as have been waiting since 1962 for something to change on the ground?
Amusing report from Ladakh by the ruling party lawmaker from that region.
Splendid, a war of attrition will drain India of its wealth and in turn, instigate riots and civil revolt; there's only so much Uncle Sam can give in support and in the meantime, time for the PLA intelligence units to start arming and training factions in Nagaland and Manipur...
Waiting for comments from Kakyan over the following report:

It is kind of strange that Indian military don't take pictures of their soldiers living comfortable shelters, clothing, and amp food.
