It is common knowledge. One has to wonder what exactly is Indian defence manufacturing engaged in all these years. Their primary inability is mass production and cost optimization. This helps China and Pakistan.
R&D anyways can be leapfrogged or bypassed as India has the option to license designs from foreign "friends".
India won't be reaching Lhasa. Nah. Not with theatre nukes.
The threat of theatre nukes hampers both India and China from making deep incursions to each others territory. So in a conflict, if at all India is able to make gains and China is somehow suddenly weak, then India would take some parts of Kailash ranges and Aksai Chin. That's it.
I think the same, it is meaningless holding on the tough terrains while we can lure the enemy into a bigger trap and take full advantages on PLA's artillery and logistic capacity, the only question is will the enemy be dumb enough to step onto this trap but only take the high ground and never come down the mountains and call it a day, that will be a tough fight if we want to take it back.
that's the worst decision they can make. air power/missiles/artillery taking out the roads back to their side means they're trapped in the mountains with no supplies.
here's what a mountain pass in the Himalayas looks like, note how vulnerable the roads are.

Regardless whoever that India depends on, the core problem remains: they can't meet the demand with domestic manufacturing capabilities.

Indians in YouTube commentaries openly talk about invading Tibet. That is their true feelings. They are not going to be satisfied with just taking Aksai Chin, a barren wasteland. Aksai Chin may not have any economic value, but it does have military value. If indians captured Aksai Chin now, it will used it as a staging area to invade Tibet in the future. So Aksai Chin should be protected at all times, and shall never fall to indian control. Keep the indians hemmed in the steep narrow valleys (Galwan), make it difficult for them to move large number of men and weapons onto Aksai Chin. China can use a variety of weapons to destroy the invading army confined in narrow spaces.

Just Tibet? More than once I've heard them proclaiming they'll march into Beijing...
For those still surprised at Indian propaganda on Ladakh:
^ This is how narratives are enforced in democratic India.
If Muslims of India celebrate Pakistan's win (in a sports match), they will be facing Life in prison.
As Chappelle said: "That's a brittle spirit"
