Indian foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said an unprecedented number of troops would be deployed along the 2,100-mile border.
Less than two weeks ago an 'encroachment' by Chinese soldiers leading to a skirmish with Indian troops sparked fears of war.

Two countries with chips on their shoulders...what could go wrong. Given how fights with sticks and stones have broken out between the two countries, I would train soldiers how to fight with pikes and slings. The Indians do have experience of facing the Macedonian phalanx.

There has been some talk that Russia may be held partially in check because China could move into Siberia while Russia is attending to Ukraine. But — to press the chess metaphor — India may pin China and hinder attempts at expansion in Asia.

I think it’s a stretch to say these clashes would go nuclear.
I read an article a few years ago about a hypothetical war between India and Pakistan. It said Pakistan would probably use nukes first as they are outnumbered tactically but only after the battle turned against them. No reason to expect India to act differently. That is it would escalate first to firearms then general fighting then full war then Nuclear. Not batons to Nuclear.
