EP-24 | China’s PLA decoded, India’s 1971 victory over Pak with Fmr. Army Chief Gen. Naravane (retd)

China's recent attempt to forcefully alter the status quo on the LAC in Yangtse in Tawang Sector was thwarted by the Indian Army. As the soldiers of People's Liberation Army (PLA) came with clubs, the Indian soldiers did not back down and responded in kind, beating back the belligerent Chinese forces. In this edition of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, Gen. Manoj Mukund Naravane (Retd), Former Army Chief, tells how the PLA received a "Jhatka" in Galwan in 2020. As Indian side also suffered casualties, did it break the Army's morale? How is the situation similar or different this time? Is PLA really a modernised army or is it actually “regressive”? How was Col B Santosh Babu’s death at the hands of the aggressive Chinese forces avenged? On a gamut of wide-ranging issues, including Balakot Air Strike, Gen Naravane (Retd) answers every question with military precision.
