No, I think this whole thing, ever since Doklam standoff was a grand strategy by China to put India into a pocket.
I've always thought it very strange: why on earth would India even want to challenge China on land. The forefront of China/India is geo-strategically in China's favor: the border is no more than 500km away from New Dehli and right next to the heavily populated northern plain of India.

I think most people in the world would certainly agree with your assessment and I think most members and certainly myself agree that this whole thing is some grand strategy by China to drain India of its resources.
But it’s funny how if you look at the way Indians think, they would tell you that India has the advantage in a ground war with China. They primarily base this assessment on the assumption that supply lines for China from the its industrial centres to the front is too far and too stretched and that the concentration of forces is in India’s favour, which to some extent is true, tactically speaking, but like you said Indians seems to always neglect the strategic implications or the technology and financial disparity... if you look at the way Indian like to play out the war scenario they will say they have more airbases with air assets in the regions and therefore automatically have air superiority, more troops in the region where they can overwhelm China on the ground, then they will tell us that they have ballistic missile capable of reaching the industrial centres of China and finally they will say they can stave out China by blockading the The Malacca Straits. If you haven’t read or seen it before I suggest a good search on Quora... it’s a real good laugh and you can see the absolute delusions that some Indians have about their situation.
I do however have one contention, the situation of China and India is not the same or analogous with the situation of North and South Korea. The main reason being that with South Korea, there is a disproportionate concentration of industrial, both more traditional and high tech, and financial capacity as well as population in and around Seoul. Whereas for the Indians that’s not the case... it’s true that there is a higher concentration of population in the states around the ‘boarder’ regions but it is primarily the poorer/poorest in the Indian’s case, apart from maybe the New Delhi and Punjab areas, whilst the Indian’s industrial and financial centres are more in the central to southern regions of India further away from the ‘boarder’ region... the relative disruptions in the case of a ground war would be big but not as crippling as the case with South Korea.
The problem is not so much that India is a populist democracy... it’s Modi who is a populist that rose because of the strong man image, the entire base for the Modi government is about a strong India therefore its impossible for the Indians to back down... further it’s not possible for India to place their major focus on their navy since the main enemy the Modi government have been using is Pakistan to whom the current Indian navy is seen as enough to overpowering. There is also the consideration that even if the Indians focused on their navy, it would be difficult to fight the PLAN in the Indian Ocean, the disparity in industrial output and more specifically in naval tonnage output is just too great and the difference in technology is also a big issue. What the Indian should have concentrated on is not the military aspects, since they procure the majority of their equipment from abroad anyway, but pure industrial capacity and capacity, and economics... had the Indians had done as advertised when Modi came to power the Indian threat could have been remotely credible but as it is right now... no matter what the Indians choose to focus on in the military aspects... its only a drop in the ocean, they can’t buy or build their way out of the situation, whilst China has the capacity, capability and will to build their way to an ever growing advantage.
It would make sense if they were dealing with Sikkim. Dealing with China, who has all the advantages, they really should give up. I can see how India is nervous that China has controlled all the high ground the source of water, but Tibet was never a place that India could take. Just think of the logistics of trying to move stuff up that wall which is the Himalayas. On the Chinese side, the situation is different. They just have to stroll over from nearby areas of the high plateau. If the neighbor was United States instead of India, they would still have a hard time taking that place today. That is why even the British recognize that this represent the natural border for India.Ever heard of the Forward Policy?
India is the aggressor. They wanted to invade Tibet
