Young sepoy killed in Ladakh was to get married in July, leaves behind terminally-ill dad
Sepoy Rajesh Orang’s family grieves in Birbhum, West Bengal | By special arrangement
Kolkata: Sepoy Rajesh Orang, 25, had the kind of love story that belongs on the big screen. He spotted a girl at a village festival, fell in love with her and asked her to marry him. She said yes, too.
According to friends, Rajesh, one of the 20 soldiers killed in the Galwan Valley clashes with China this week, was about to get married next month.
The news of his death brought scenes of despair to his house in the forested tribal village of Belgoria in Bengal’s Birbhum district, but there was also pride. Rajesh’s cousin Abhishek, 24, said the two brothers had aspired to serve in the Army together.
“Rajesh was more than a brother, he was my best friend. He motivated me to join the force,” said Abhishek, who is in his second year at an industrial training institute (ITI). “We dreamt of staying in a tent together. He left me, but strengthened my resolve.”
Nagen Orang, Rajesh’s uncle and Abhishek’s father, expressed pride that they had “sacrificed our son for the country”. “We have lost one son, but we have one more. We want him to join the force. This brings us ultimate pride and prestige,” he said. “My nephew was and is a hero.”
Belgoria, a village of 80 to 90 families, sends many of its young men to the security forces, including military, paramilitary and police.
Rajesh was in his second year of graduation in 2015 when he joined the Army. He was posted in Ladakh for the last year and a half, said Abhishek. The young sepoy was the sole breadwinner for the family.
The family came to know about Rajesh’s death from a senior Army officer who called them Tuesday evening.
Rajesh, the officer told them, was critically injured in the clashes and succumbed to his injuries at the Army hospital.
A day later, his father Subhash Orang, a terminally-ill marginal farmer, was inconsolable.
“We say that we are proud. People will tell us that we should be proud. But after some days, when all this will be over, we will have an empty life without my only son,” Orang, 50, told ThePrint over the phone. “I do not want war, but I also do not want to see my son’s sacrifice go in vain,” he added.
Rajesh had last visited the family in January and was building a concrete house for them so they could move out of their mud house.
His last call came two weeks ago, to his sister Shakuntala, who studies at a college in neighbouring Jharkhand but is at home currently on account of the lockdown. “The call only lasted for two minutes. He told his sister to stay well and take care of us,” said Subhash. “He said he would be climbing up now and there would be no network, so he would call back later after reaching their base camp,” Subhash added. “We were standing there, but did not get a chance to speak to him.”
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday announced a compensation package of Rs 5 lakh for the family and a job for one of them.

New Delhi: Front-line bases of the Indian army and the air force along the nearly 3,500 km de-facto border with China were Wednesday put on high alert in view of the worst border clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh that left 20 Army personnel dead, official sources said.
The Indian Navy has also been asked to raise its alert level in the Indian Ocean Region where Chinese Navy has been making regular forays.
The decision to raise the alert level of the three forces were taken at a high-level meeting Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held with Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat and the three service chiefs, sources said.
The Army has already rushed in additional troops to all its key front-line bases and formations along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh, they said.

The sources said the Navy is increasing its deployment in the Indian Ocean Region to send across a strong message to the Chinese Navy.
How India and China stack up in terms of military capability
India has the third highest defence expenditure in the world, but China spends nearly four times more. It also has greater air and naval strength.
New Delhi: Monday’s deadly Galwan Valley clash between the Indian and Chinese armies, the first casualties in a skirmish between the neighbours in 45 years, has left lingering fears of a military confrontation.
Some experts contend that unlike the 1962 war, the Indian military is now in a much stronger position, while others point to China’s defence budget being nearly four times that of India to say otherwise.
Here’s how the two nations’ military capabilities stack up.
Defence expenditure and personnel
Though China’s finance ministry declared its official military budget in 2019 as $177 billion, analysts report the actual figure to be between $261-266 billion.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), in 2019, China’s defence budget was $261 billion, while the corresponding figure for India was $71.1 billion. These are the second- and third-highest military spends in the world.
In terms of manpower, China has 21,83,000 active personnel and 510,000 reserve troops, while India has 14,44,000 and 21,00,000, according to Global Firepower.
In the realm of military resources on land, China possesses 3,500 tanks, 33,000 armoured vehicles, 3,800 self-propelled artillery, 3,600 towed artillery, and 2,650 rocket projectors.
India, meanwhile, has 4,292 tanks, 8,686 armoured vehicles, 235 self-propelled artillery, 4,060 towed artillery and 266 rocket projectors.
Air power
China’s total air fleet stands at 3,444, and includes 1,232 fighter jets, 371 dedicated attack crafts, 224 for transport, 314 trainers, 111 for special missions, 911 helicopters, and 281 attack helicopters.
The Indian air fleet has a strength of 2,141, including 538 fighter jets, 172 dedicated attack crafts, 250 for transport, 359 trainers, 77 for special missions, 722 helicopters, and 23 attack helicopters.
Naval forces
China currently has two aircraft carriers, 36 destroyers, 52 frigates, 50 corvettes, 74 submarines, 220 patrol vessels, and 29 crafts for mine warfare.
The Indian fleet, meanwhile, consists of one aircraft carrier, 10 destroyers, 13 frigates, 19 corvettes, 16 submarines, 139 patrol vessels, and three crafts for mine warfare.
Nuclear warheads
According to SIPRI’s 2020 Yearbook, the Chinese nuclear arsenal currently stands at 320, while India has 150 weapons.
The Eastern and Western Naval Commands are in a ‘heightened state of alertness’, which means ships can be deployed on short notice.

New Delhi: Amid tensions with China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, the Indian Navy has sent out additional ships from its Eastern fleet for deployment in the Indian Ocean Region, ThePrint has learnt.
The move comes at a time when India has put its military machinery on high alert following the deadly clash in the Galwan Valley late Monday evening that led to the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers.
Defence sources told ThePrint that apart from ships that are routinely at sea on various missions, the Navy has instructed other ships to sail out. The sources did not reveal the number of ships, or where they have moved, or for what purpose.
However, they did say both the Eastern and Western naval commands are in a “heightened state of alertness” — which means ships can be deployed on short notice for operations.
ThePrint reached the Indian Navy for comment through calls and text messages Wednesday, but is yet to receive an official response
A source confirmed that the number of ships now operationally deployed is “more than normal”.
“Also, there are various fleet exercises at sea during peacetime, and their deployment is such that they can always turn around and be operationally available when needed,” the source said.
For instance, after the Balakot air strikes, the Navy, which was carrying out a major theatre level exercise (TROPEX), was immediately deployed in an operational role in the northern Arabian Sea.
The decision to raise the alert level of the three forces were taken at a high-level meeting held by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh with Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Bipin Rawat and the three service chiefs Tuesday, following deliberations held at the level of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sepoy Chandan Yadav of Bhojpur, Bihar, was all of 22. When border tensions made him nervous, he relied on his Armymen brothers for advice.

New Delhi: Sepoy Chandan Yadav, 22, of Bhojpur, Bihar, had stopped talking to his parents since earlier this month. The 16 Bihar soldier had informed his family about the tensions at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, where he was posted, and his mother’s constant worrying was getting to him.
“He used to say that the atmosphere along the Chinese border had been tense for the last two-three months, but several violent clashes took place in June,” said Chandan’s 43-year-old cousin Satyendra Kumar, who is one of 26 members of the family who have served in the security forces.

When his worried mother expressed concern, Kumar said, Chandan “chastised her by saying that you easily get nervous and it scares me too”. “That is why he avoided talking with his parents. However, he continued interacting with his brothers regarding the prevailing situation,” added Kumar, who retired from the Army in 2016.
“He last spoke to his parents on 2 June. His last conversation with his siblings was Saturday,” said Kumar.
According to Kumar, getting enrolled in the Indian Army was “Chandan’s only dream and he started to prepare for recruitment soon after clearing his Class 12 exam”.
The strain of tensions on the border did worry the young soldier at times, but his brothers always stepped in with advice from their own experience in the field.
“I had seen the Kargil war from close quarters, so I used to assure him that the situation was not that bad. All this is a common thing in a soldier’s life,” said Kumar.
Speaking to ThePrint over the phone, Kumar said as many as 26 members of their extended family served in various security forces, from the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, to the Border Security Force (BSF), the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB).
Chandan’s father was a member of the Bihar Home Guard, but took premature retirement about 10 years ago due to ill health, he added.
“Chandan’s three brothers are also in the Army. Chandan was the youngest in his family. He joined the Bihar regiment in 2017,” said Kumar.
The young soldier, Kumar added, was to get married on 10 May but the wedding was postponed on account of the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown.
Chandan’s family came to know about his death Wednesday morning. At Gyanpur, a village of 950 residents where the family is based, the news brought a surge of well-wishers to the house to offer condolences.
The pain of losing a son in the battlefield is, after all, a shared fear in the village.
“Around 50 people from this village are in the Indian Army. Boys even younger than Chandan are currently serving in the security forces,” said Kumar. “His neighbour Deepak Kumar is also posted in Ladakh. The entire village is in the grips of tensions as well as rage (against China).”
Chandan’s mortal remains, it is learnt, have already reached Patna. They will be taken to the Bihar Regimental Centre at Danapur before being dispatched for Gyanpur.
On Wednesday, the local MLA and sub-divisional magistrate, among other officials, visited Chandan’s village. According to Kumar, after their visit, work was begun to repair the road in their village for the arrival of mourners eager to pay their tributes to Chandan.
The Indian Army and Peoples Liberation Army have been engaged in a standoff in several areas of eastern Ladakh since 5 May.

New Delhi: The Indian Army on Thursday trashed media reports claiming that a number of its soldiers went missing after the violent clashes with Chinese troops at Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh three days back.
“It is clarified that there are no Indian troops missing in action,” the Army said in a statement.
There have been reports that several Indian Army soldiers were held captive by the Chinese Army following the Galwan Valley clashes in which 20 Indian Army personnel including a Colonel were killed. China has not yet released any casualty figures.
At a media briefing, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava also said that no Indian soldiers were missing since the clashes on Monday three days back.
Indian and Chinese militaries held a Major General-level dialogue on Thursday for the third consecutive day on disengagement of troops as well as to restore normalcy in areas around the Galwan Valley.
The clash in Galwan Valley is the biggest confrontation between the two militaries after their 1967 clashes in Nathu La when India lost around 80 soldiers while the death toll on the Chinese side was over 300.
The two armies were engaged in a standoff in Galwan and several other areas of eastern Ladakh since May 5 when the two sides clashed on the banks of the Pangong Tso.
After the standoff began, the Indian military leadership decided that Indian troops will adopt a firm approach in dealing with the aggressive posturing by the Chinese troops in all disputed areas of Pangong Tso, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldie.
The Chinese Army has been gradually ramping up its strategic reserves in its rear bases near the LAC by rushing in artillery guns, infantry combat vehicles and heavy military equipment.
The trigger for the face-off was China’s stiff opposition to India laying a key road in the Finger area around the Pangong Tso Lake besides construction of another road connecting the Darbuk-Shayok-Daulat Beg Oldie road in Galwan Valley.
How the Galwan tragedy has clarified India’s vision China poses the most serious strategic threat ever faced by India. Delhi now has the room to make choices

As India comes to terms with China’s dastardly act on the border, it should be a time for a new resolve in India to craft an open-eyed policy response. This is not going to be as easy as some social media warriors assume. But when it comes to the most serious strategic challenge India has ever faced, easy should be the last thing on our minds. Tragedies such as the one India has had to endure this week often lead to a clarity of vision, a vision that was clouded by the misplaced sense of our ability to manage China. Now, after the loss of precious lives along the border touted as being stable, New Delhi should also lose its innocence when it comes to China. Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi has underlined that India wants peace but “will give a befitting reply” if provoked. External affairs minister S Jaishankar has conveyed to his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi that the Galwan Valley development will have a “serious” impact on the bilateral relationship.
In its attempt to unilaterally define the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Beijing has disregarded the central tenets of all pacts it has signed with India since 1993 to keep the border peaceful. And this will significantly alter the trajectory of the Sino-Indian relationship, which has been premised on an understanding that even as the boundary questions remain unresolved, the two nations can move forward on other areas of engagement — global, regional and bilateral. That fundamental assumption has now been seriously undermined.
In some ways, China’s assertiveness today is understandable. As long as China was the dominant party along the border, it could continue with the facade of upholding peace and tranquility. After all, that was on its terms. It is India’s assertion of its interests in the last few years that has emerged as the sticking point. The militarisation of LAC is taking place at an unprecedented pace today partly because Indian infrastructure is in much better shape and Indian patrolling is far more effective. A more heated LAC is a result of the Indian military’s presence in areas where the Chinese military is not used to seeing it. That India is ready to take on Chinese aggression head-on is also reflected in the scale of casualties that both sides suffered this week in the Galwan Valley. The Indian military is operationally more nimble and prepared than ever been. Therefore, if a lasting solution to the border problem is not found, we should be prepared for more such action along LAC.
China remains a significantly more powerful entity and its infrastructure is still in much better shape. But Indian infrastructure development has reached a critical point. And it is not without reason that the Chinese opposition to the 255 km-long strategic Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie road has been so vehement. Connecting Leh to the Karakoram Pass, this all-weather road is India’s frontal challenge to China’s expansionist designs in the region. Despite Chinese objections, India has continued to pursue this project given its strategic importance. China raising the temperature on the border is a pre-emptive move to dissuade India from moving ahead.
China’s recent behaviour cannot be delinked from the global situation where Beijing has come under pressure and is facing a global backlash for its mishandling of Covid-19. That India has emerged as a more credible global actor at a time of severe distress is something that China is wary of. The top leadership of the Communist Party of China is facing internal turmoil as its policies on Hong Kong, Taiwan and Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) are not only facing global opprobrium but are also being critically dissected at home. For Chinese President Xi Jinping, an easy answer to managing this turmoil is to create problems abroad to generate a sense of nationalism among a disillusioned populace.
Indian foreign policy has been at the front and centre of challenging China’s nefarious global designs. New Delhi was the first country to warn the world of the dangers of BRI at a time when almost every other country was willing to buy into Beijing’s narrative. Today, India’s framing of the BRI problems is widely accepted by most major global powers. Given that BRI is Xi’s key vanity project, India’s role in shaping the global opposition must be particularly jarring. India has also managed to shape the global discourse on the Indo-Pacific and is now working closely with like-minded regional players into giving it operational heft. Despite China’s continued objections to the term, Indo-Pacific maritime geography is now widely accepted. And at a time when the Donald Trump administration is seriously beginning the process of trade and technology “decoupling” with China, Washington and New Delhi are closer today than ever before. Chinese attempts to marginalise India on the global stage have not worked and New Delhi’s cache has only increased.
And so in its wisdom, China decided to wield the blunt instrumentality of force, hoping that this would “teach India a lesson”. The reality is Chinese actions will produce exactly the opposite effect of what they probably intended to do. Indian public opinion, which was already negative about China, will now become even more strongly anti-Chinese. Those who have been talking about maintaining an equidistance from China and the United States will find it hard to sustain that position. And New Delhi will now be even freer to make policy choices, both strategic and economic, which will have a strong anti-China orientation. There will be costs for India. But China’s actions have ensured that today India is ready to bear those costs. For this, India should thank Xi’s China.

18 soldiers injured in Galwan Valley face-off stable: Latest developments
The Indian Army has said that no soldier was “missing in action” after the India-China stand-off in Galwan Valley on June 15, in which the Chinese side also purportedly suffered casualties.

The tension along the contested areas of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) has been continuing despite several rounds of meeting between Indian and Chinese officials.
A meeting was held on Thursday to defuse the situation after the skirmish at Galwan Valley on June 15 in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed. This was the seventh meeting since the stand-off began in May and third since the Monday night clash.
Here are the latest developments in the India-China border stand-off:
• India on Thursday asked China to restrict its activities to its side of the Line of Actual Control – a significant move following external affairs minister S Jaishankar’s assertion during a phone conversation with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Wednesday, that Chinese troops entered the Indian side in Galwan Valley and sought to erect a structure.
• The Indian Army has said that no soldier was “missing in action” after the violent brawl of June 15, in which the Chinese side also purportedly suffered casualties. “It is clarified that there are no Indian troops missing in action,” the army said in a terse statement, responding to reports that some troops were unaccounted for after the seven-hour clash that involved more than 500 rival troops.
• The brawl left 76 Indian soldiers injured, including 18 with serious injuries who are now said to be stable. News agency PTI reported that 18 personnel are undergoing treatment at a hospital in Leh while 58 are admitted to various other hospitals.
• India has rubbished Chinese claims of sovereignty over Galwan Valley where the incident took place.
• Late on Thursday, people aware of the development indicated that 10 soldiers, including two officers, were released by the Chinese side. Official word on this development was awaited.
• Indian and Chinese delegations, led by major generals, met on Thursday near Patrol Point 14 in Galwan Valley as part of military engagements to defuse tensions on the disputed border. “The two sides had a long discussion on the border situation after the clash. They agreed to hold more talks in the coming days. These talks will be held at different levels,” an Indian Army official said on condition of anonymity.
• Thousands attended funerals on Thursday for many of the 20 Indian soldiers killed in the clash.
• The two armies were engaged in a standoff in Galwan and several other areas of eastern Ladakh since May 5 when the two sides clashed on the banks of the Pangong Tso.
• The trigger for the face-off was China’s stiff opposition to India laying a key road around the Pangong Tso Lake besides construction of another road connecting the Darbuk-Shayok-Daulat Beg Oldie road in Galwan Valley. India has already decided not to stall any border infrastructure projects in eastern Ladakh despite Chinese protests.
• The last time the Chinese military had taken Indian soldiers captive was in July 1962 after a clash in Galwan Valley.
India-China-Clashes-June 2020 ‘Kill 3 of theirs if they kill 1 of our’ says Capt Amarinder
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED IN GALWAN VALLEY
SAYS GOI SHOULD FIX ACCOUNTABILITY, TELL EVERY SOLDIER AT THE FRONT TO ‘KILL 3 OF THEIRS IF THEY KILL 1 OF OURS’
DEMANDS END TO `HINDI-CHEENI BHAI BHAI’ CHARADE, WANTS WEAPONS NOT RIOT GEAR FOR MEN AT BORDERS
Chandigarh, June 18, 2020: Terming as horrendous and barbaric the brutality with which 20 Indian soldiers were killed by the Chinese in Galwan Valley, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder on Thursday demanded accountability for the loss of precious lives in the violent clash, and said the whole nation was expecting a befitting response from the Government to this horrific attack on its men.
“Our soldiers at the front should be clearly told that if they kill 1 of ours, you kill 3 of theirs,” said an emotional Captain Amarinder, making it clear that he was not speaking as a politician but as a man who had been part of the Army and still loved the institution. He pointed out that his stand on such issues has always been the same, and even after the Pulwama attack, he had declared that if they kill one of ours we should kill two of theirs.
Questioning why no orders to fire at the Chinese were given in the face of the brutal attack on the Indian soldiers, the Chief Minister said “somebody failed to do his job out there, and we need to find out who that was.”
If the unit was armed, as is being claimed now, the second-in-command should have ordered firing the moment the commanding officer fell to the Chinese treachery, said Captain Amarinder, adding that “the nation wants to know why our men did not retaliate in the way they are trained to do, and why they did not open fire if they were carrying arms.” “What were they doing sitting out there while their colleagues were getting killed,” he asked.
“I want to know, every soldier wants to know, and every Indian wants to know what happened,” said the Chief Minister, making it clear that he feels very strongly about this entire incident, which also exposed a gross intelligence failure. Those boys sitting out there on the mountains deserve answers and expect a hard-hitting response, he added, reacting strongly to what he described as an insult to every Indian.
What happened out there was not a joke, and the message has to go out strongly to China that India was no longer prepared to take their deceit, said Captain Amarinder, adding that every one of the 20 soldiers who had been martyred in the violence was “my man and I feel strongly about it.”
Calling for an end to the `Hindi-Cheeni bhai bhai’ charade, the Chief Minister said India should not chicken out on this issue. “If China is a world power, then so are we,” he declared, adding that “60 years of diplomacy has not worked and it is time to tell them that enough is enough.”
China knows we are capable of taking them on, said the Chief Minister, pointing out that the Indian Army is a highly professional force, fully capable of taking on any enemy. The Chinese just cannot be trusted, he remarked, pointing out that several Indian territories are in their occupation since 1962 and they were clearly now trying to take more.
Captain Amarinder also took strong exception to reports of riot gear being sent out to the soldiers at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Stressing that the Indian Army is trained to handle arms and stones or nail studded rods and lathis, he asserted that if the Government of India wants a fist or lathi fights with the Chinese, then it should send RSS cadres to the battle ground. What our men out there need is weapons and clear orders that they should be ready to use these weapons to save themselves and defend the country at any cost.
