India has never released any map of Ladakh LAC in public.
Yes post 1962 war, India has always aimed at maximizing it's territorial hold in Ladakh a much as possible.
Then India is as shady as it is incompetent. Good job maximizing Indian casualties, especially from friendly fire while China actually maximizes its territory, growth and development.

I never claimed India did not ever use T-90 at Biathlon. I said India came 5th jointly in tank biathlon 2018 among 24 nations and I also said Russia never T-90 at biathlon as it is unsuitable for competition due to slow changing gears.

Then India purposefully used T-90 because they knew they could win even with a handicap?

Funny thing about Pangong Lake is that China has a metalled road from Finger 8 to Finger 4 since 1998 and used to vehicle patrols to Finger 4 regularly for many years.
But now it no longer do that due to patrolling moratarium.

Whereas all Indian patrols till Finger 8 were only small foot patrols that had cross Finger 4 through a narrow ledge.
I don't really see the necessity of finger finger game. India already has a maximized it's territory to arunachal. I guess China has to take both sikkim & arunachal.

Funny thing is, if you lose arunachal tomorrow you will say it's mountainous & was claimed by China all along. So India actually occupied Chinese territory for long enough, correct ?

“The Chinese side will keep its troop presence in the North Bank area to the east of Finger 8. Reciprocally, the Indian troops will be based at their permanent base at Dhan Singh Thapa Post near Finger 3. A similar action would be taken in the South Bank area by both sides,” the minister informed Parliament.

India's defence ministry says it won't accept 1959 line and will continue to claim LAC is at Finger 8 just like China will continue to claim LAC is at Finger 2.

Sorry I can't find in the text where it says it does not recognize the 1959 LAC. Can you help out? All I can read is about Finger 4, Finger 8, which has been the same point that Indian Minister of Defense Singh have been belaboring. Of course, India continues to claims Aksai Chin which is under Chinese control. We're not talking about officially settling the borders here. We're talking about a solution to the conflict.

Clrarly mentions taht as per India LAC runs through Finger 8 whereas 1959 LAC line runs through Finger 2 and also stating that even in current understanding India will maintain right to patrol upto Finger 2.

No it doesn't. It says India has thus far maintained the right to patrol up to finger 8, but as per the agreement, will now retreat to the permanent base at finger 3, while China will retreat to finger 8. This of course enforces respect for the LAC which is between finger 3 and finger 8.

I also don't know where finger 2 came from but from China's perspective the LAC is at finger 4.

With some regret, I'm posting Indian news

1. Indian posts moved from finger 4 to finger 3.
2. India has vacated the two hills it "captured" south of Pangong Tso.
3. No patrol zone, for the time being in between finger 3 and Finger 8.

So, all the work done in the past two years by the two countries has been reversed.
