India and China has no clear border demarcation of four thousand kilometers, The cold kills more troops than bullets from both sides of snow clad glaciers on the border of India and China. Fainting and headaches for soldiers in the camps are more frequent than any fighting on the border demarcation between China and India. The two parties are not ready to do battle on the roof of hell, great glaciers and snow wall between India and China.
As the two Asian powers have a strong GDP growth, India is training its army against the military power of China on bordering posts with China. China is the second in the global military spending, but spending in India is restricted to protect its borders and developing fastest and best supersonic missile of the world that can target anywhere on specific target from air, land and deep water. To protect the border, the number and capacity of active military personnel is important. In 2006, India's active military personnel were approximately 1,325,000, while China was significantly higher at 2,255,000. Both know that fighting on border's natural passage on the great glaciers of the Himalayas above is disastrous. It will affect the rivers and the environment on both sides. Not all soldiers are able to remain along the border. India is already in practice of fighting with Pakistan to win the 20,000 meters high Siachen Glacier, the Highest battlefield in the world since 1984. Pakistan and India, has about 10,000 troops camped on the Siachen Glacier.
For a soldier, Siachen Glacier is where hell freezes over, a 46-mile river of ice slowly surrounded by stupendous towers of snow. Temperatures swoon to 50 below, and sudden blizzards can bury field artillery in minutes. Welds sleep in the caves of ice and breathe air so spare of oxygen that it sends their hearts into a mad gallop. Fainting and headaches are frequent fights. Frostbite chews its way through digits and limbs. Both parties are daily ready to battle on the roof of hell, since 1984.
Indian Soldiers on Siachen Glacier
Indian soldier on Siachen Glacier wears five layers of clothing, chill paratroopers into service. AN-32 airplanes approach the runway in the fog of snow, pushed by winds. Higher on the icy peaks of the Himalayas, helicopter pilots battle downdrafts as they land on helipads to deliver precious supplies or rescue injured soldiers. The soldiers returned to base camp often suffer hearing, eyesight loss and memory loss due to prolonged use of oxygen masks. Many lose eyes, hands or feet to frostbite. Icy summit, where drinking water is still the melting of ice on stoves, bathing is a rarity. Washing clothes, too, is not possible.
But it is helping India to train its soldiers and to continue to test its fighting power against the coming war to protect his four thousand kilometer border with China, which has no borders and boundaries but many large glaciers like the snowy mountains of the Himalayas.
India and China have held talks since 1980 to develop a formula to resolve the differences in the demarcation of the border. In 2005, China and India have signed a political principle guiding the demarcation of the border between India and China. Press Trust of India said that the process of demarcation of the border has received a boost after India and China have agreed to establish special representatives. In the process, the two countries also signed agreements of 1993 and 1996 to maintain peace and stability in border areas. The 13th session of border demarcation talks held in New Delhi in 2009 between the Special Representatives, which ended without progress. Now, Special Representatives of both countries have the 14th round of border demarcation talks in Beijing. Indian media says that China is serious to increase activity with India and India is also. In this perspective, the two countries plan doing more on border demarcation.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao plans visit to India to convey we may be be friends in the near future , but now .. Thus, attempts to solve the demarcation of borders and clear any misunderstanding between both sides, are on the agenda. India is also awaiting Chinese stand on supporting India's candidature for permanent seat on the Security Council after the US's support by Barack Obama during his recent visit to New Delhi. India and China are also considering the mutual recognition of certificates of higher education, a measure that would facilitate cross-border mobility of students for advanced studies and employment purposes. In many Indian schools, learning Chinese have become fashion .
China and India is on the path of understanding and joint efforts to give relief to the world in recession. India is set to welcome Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during his visit to India on December 15-17, 2010 .

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)This is fascinating, Gaurav.I keep thinking of all the energy that is being focused towards the military under the guise of defense - everywhere you turn countries are arming themselves. Humanity, and the value of human life seems to be disappearing. It can't end in anything good.I love the photograph. It's ironic, the soldiers look as if they're fashion models.Jennifer Stewart, I agree that over 50% of the expenses of this world is to pass on military and related industries. The value of human life and care of human rights EQUEL are mere declaration, even for poor countries.
Media in India says that over 60% of American industries and exports depend on military equipment and related products. Many countries have bombs nulear, but stocks of bombs nulear with America is so great that it can destroy the entire population of the world eight times.
Wikipedia.org says that says that top nine country interms of military expenditure in 2009 are :
1 United States $663,255,000,000
2 China $98,800,000,000
3 U K $69,271,000,000
4 France $67,316,000,000
5 Russia $61,000,000,000
6 Germany $48,022,000,000
7 Japan $46,859,000,000
8 Saudi Arabia $39,257,000,000
9 Italy $37,427,000,000
Hence the mad race on it everywhere.Jennifer , India military expenditure in 2009 are 36,600,000,000 .Part of saving it could uplift value of one billion human life in India. But security has become imporant, keeping in view mad military expenditure who are on recession.Gaurav, these figures are absolutely unbelievable! I don't even know how to take it all in, I'm completely gobsmacked, outraged, astonished, horrified. I would love to know what goes on in the arms industry, who the individuals are, what sort of relationships they have with world leaders and politicians.
Thanks for all this research, you're doing a really great job!Jennifer Stewart, According to my information exports 25% of the United States include organic chemicals, which is the basic material used by militants and armed forces around the world bullets and bombs. Another major element - 35% of US exports is hightech military aircraft and automobiles and telecommunications used by armed forces worldwide.These figures just show how the US military industrial complex creates war which the US can then get involved in under whatever the pretext of the day is.
I am so glad you wrote this informative article. It would take so much time to research this information you have provided. Thank you.elle kynzer, welcome for your visit and comments
