Chinese Proposal Of 1959, The Aim Was To Capture Ladakh

Chinese proposal of 1959, the premier Enlai’s vicious thinking, the aim was to capture Ladakh. The situation is tense on the Indian border with China for the last five months. This is because of China’s stubborn attitude and its expansionary policy.

Chinese proposal of 1959, under this policy, it is trying to capture eastern Ladakh. The latest statement from China about Ladakh reflects its stubborn attitude and expansionary policy. On behalf of China, it has been said that India has illegally captured Ladakh.

China did not stop here, instead, it said that it considers the boundary between Indo-China as a line of actuarial control under the 1959 proposal. Apart from this, China also says that it does not accept the McMahon Line to set the boundary of China adjoining the North Eastern States.

1959 Chinese proposal

China has once again referred to the proposal which has not been accepted by any government of India. Let me tell you that the then premier of China Premier Zhou Enlai was the brain behind this proposal. China’s position on the border is as it appears now.

This was the reason that the situation on the India-China border was always tense. Sometimes this tension used to be sporadic skirmishes between the armies of the two countries and sometimes a form of war. On 24 October 1959, the first Chinese Premier Enlai wrote a letter to Indian Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

It said that no Chinese government considers the McMahon line drawn in the northeast of India. It was also said that there has never been any official boundary between China and India regarding this.

Line of actual control

Subsequently, on 7 November 1959, Premier Lai of China wrote another letter to Pandit Nehru, in which he had made big talk about LAC (Line of Actual Control) for the first time.

In this, Enlai said that where the armies of both countries are present, they should be considered as LAC. It was also said that considering this as LAC and to maintain peace on the border, both the armies should retreat 20-20 km from the current place.

However, Pandit Nehru rejected this proposal of Enlai. Pandit Nehru said that the Chinese army had already moved several kilometers inside the Indian border. In such a situation, Indian soldiers cannot be pushed back, even when China is not ready to return to its border.

Two years after this letter, China imposed a war on India. On 20 October 1962, China launched an attack on the Ladakh and McMahon lines. After the war that lasted for a month, the forces of both the countries where they were stopped were named as Line of Actual Control in 1993.

Indian Foreign Ministry statement

The Indian Foreign Ministry has clarified its position on the 1959 proposal under which China is referring to LAC. The Ministry of External Affairs has said that India has never considered 1959 unilaterally fixed LAC of China.

After 1993, there were several agreements aimed at maintaining peace and status quo on the border till the final agreement.

A bloody clash took place on the night of 15-16 June

Let us also tell you here that China started violating the border in eastern Ladakh in April-May this year. After this, the situation became uncontrollable when the Indian soldiers tried to take out the Chinese soldiers who entered the Indian border on the night of 15-16 June.

After this, PLA soldiers attacked Indian soldiers with a barbed wire rod. In this violent clash, 20 soldiers, including a colonel of the Indian Army, were killed, while twice as many Chinese soldiers were killed.

However, China never made public any information about its casualties. According to the US report, about 40 PLA ​​personnel were killed in this clash. After this, the situation on the border with China continued to deteriorate.

Try to negotiate

Meanwhile, India never stopped the negotiation initiative and simultaneously prepared to respond to all the Chinese actions on the border.

Under this, several other steps were also taken, including the deployment of Sukhoi for the security of the border, deployment of additional troopers of troops, deployment of T-90 and T-72 tanks at this place with a height of more than 14 thousand feet.

As part of peace efforts at the border, negotiations took place between army officials. In Moscow also, at the behest of China, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a meeting and spoke in very clear words. After this, the Foreign Minister of China also met the Indian Foreign Minister. A five-point agreement was also signed during this time.
