Worldview with Suhasini Haidar | Two years after Galwan: How much has changed in India-China ties?

The second year anniversary of the Galwan clashes- that occurred on the night of June 15-16, 2020 passed quietly- no memorials, no speeches-- a tweet from the defence minister. 20 Indian soldiers were killed brutally that night, in fighting with PLA soldiers using clubs with spikes, and rocks, and even drowned in the Galwan river. China has only admitted to 4 of its soldiers being killed, but there are believed to be many more casualties at Galwan- which marked the first deaths in clashes along the India -China boundary since 1975, and since the 1962 war at the LAC along Ladakh.  

What has happened since then:

1. No deaths in clashes have occurred since June 2020. There has been some jostling, even firing reported between soldiers, but the peace has more or less held.
