Two front war on the cards

[gangajal1]

There is an extremely small possibility of a 2-front war. The conventional balance between India and Pakistan is tilted too heavily towards India to make a 1965 or 1971 India-Pakistan war highly unlikely. The difficult terrain separating Tibet and India makes a large scale India-China war unlikely except in the Ladakh region. There might be small clashes. In 1962 China was allowed to build a road from the Namka Chu river valley to Tawang for 3-weeks without a single shot fired by either the Indian Army or the Air Force. In fact, the Air Force was not even used. In 1962 Chinese forces which came up to Bomdila would have had serious supply shortages if India had continued to fight during the winter months when the Himalayan passes would have been snow bound. The 1962 war was lost by India and not won by the Chinese. Such a thing would not happen again. Even China understands that 1962 would not be repeated. The current Indian build up would further reduce any possibility of a 2-front war.
