India’s international face during conflicts has been one of action, not of statements or suggestions. The India-China conflict which re-ignited with the Galwan Valley conflict in 2020 could not resolve itself despite several diplomatic and demilitarization talks, with the PM Narendra Modi-led government strengthening Indian soil against Xi Jinping’s aggressive efforts.
