Chinese analysts noted that Singh is trying to ensure domestic support and defense budgets from parliament, especially amid the unprecedented economic recession, so he won't admit that it was India which took the initiative to violate the agreement and unilaterally change the status quo.

Ridiculous. Nobody wants to be fighting a war 17,000 feet up in the Himalayas in the dead of winter.

And Hitler didn't want Stalingrad in the dead of winter. Still happened. Napoleon too. Human arrogance is very persistent.
