LAC has become the latest weapon in the hands of India’s enemies. In the shadowy world of global geopolitics, disinformation, and propaganda are potent poisons employed to win shady wars. Unfortunately, to counter Bharat’s and BRICS rise, the Line of Actual Control or LAC is being used to create tensions between India and China. And it’s no accident that a US-based private company and its associated research houses are trying to paint a misleading picture of Chinese encroachment in Ladakh! And the “toolkit” hero of choice is Sonam Wangchuk!

Sonam Wangchuk And The Encroachment Narrative:
Do you think these people ever visited Line of Actual Control (LAC) to see whether encroachment happened or not ?
Answer is No
These people never visited actual siteThen how did they know that China has encroached our land ?
Answer is through Satellite images pic.twitter.com/onfJiM2ZPd— The Chronology (@TheChronology__) October 18, 2024
Recently, social media was flooded with satellite imagery from a US company, Maxar Technologies. This picture was accompanied by reports from research think tanks that claimed to show significant Chinese encroachment on Indian territory in Ladakh. These so-called “findings” conveniently fuel a narrative that the Indian government under PM Modi is weak on China.
“Toolkit” Media outlets swiftly jumped on the LAC encroachment case by showing supposed breaches of the LAC by Chinese forces.
And Sonam Wangchuk, with a litany of US awards and the “3-Idiots” fame, built a narrative suggesting India’s sovereignty is compromised under PM Modi.
But there’s a twist: The Indian Army, stationed at the actual site, dismissed these claims. The Army clarified that the site shown in the satellite images lies 36 kilometers east of the LAC in territory that China has long held. Despite this, the just before 2024 Lok Sabha elections Sonam Wangchuk’s narrative was that Bharat’s land was overtaken under the Modi regime!
This is the Brilliant Infra created by #Modi Sarkar in Ladakh to help Army Movement to Border.
Fake Environmentalist Sonam Wangchuck wants to Stop THIS Infra Development.

However, the same Sonam Wangchuk is protesting infrastructure development in the Ladakh region. The timing is curious, coming just as India is stepping up its efforts to develop infrastructure along the LAC. The infrastructure, tunnels and roads, is designed to ensure easy and swift deployment of troops! So why does Sonam Wangchuk want to claim loss of Indian land on one hand before the elections but change his tune to “do not build roads” on the Himalayas immediately after the elections? Wagnchuk’s swiftly changing stance seems designed to undermine India’s military and infrastructure projects in the region!
🚨🚨
The fraud Wangchuk now threatens the Indian state, stating that if their demands are not met, an uprising in the ‘sensitive’ security area might be on the cards. Subtly, throws in Pakistan and China angle too.

The Real Agenda: Fracturing BRICS Through Misinformation

Sonam Wangchuk seems to be another “toolkit” hero propped up by Deep State crutches. His job seems focused on inducing chaos in Bharat. Hence, Wangchuk’s agenda is not just about Ladakh! The US fears the rise of BRICS as a counterweight to its global hegemony. And to the power of BRICS hinges on China and India as key pillars along with Russia. A united China-India axis within BRICS poses a direct threat to US economic and geopolitical dominance. But the US also knows that India and China have a tenuous friendship, marked by border disputes, military standoffs, and distrust.
Thus, to the Deep State and the West, the best way to ensure that BRICS never becomes a threat is by amplifying existing tensions between India and China!

By pushing the narrative of ‘fake’ Chinese aggression through its media toolkit and private firms like Maxar, the US fuels distrust in the minds of the people. In turn, the public will oppose any uncomfortable peace treaty with China. Add to the mix the ‘environmental’ cause of Himalayan destruction due to the construction of infrastructure that enables the military. Now you have a ‘Catch-22’ situation in your hands. The Indian government shall find its hands tied, neither will it be able to repair relations with China nor will it be able to boost military presence in the region. Consequently, this prevents them from uniting against a common adversary – the Deep State ecosystem that controls the US state machine.
Disinformation at Work: The Role of Indian Opposition
The disinformation campaign doesn’t stop at American shores. Once the reports of Chinese encroachment hit the airwaves, the Indian opposition wasted no time in launching attacks on the Modi government. ‘Toolkit’ politicians and influencers who rarely, if ever, visit these remote sites kicked into action. They began validating unverified claims and demanded action, some even suggesting war with China.
“Modi ji, when will you attack China?” they ask, with complete disregard for the facts on the ground.
These knee-jerk reactions, amplified by Indian opposition leaders, conveniently align with the US agenda of destabilizing India-China relations. The ‘toolkit’ media, eager to portray the Modi government as weak, pounced on the opportunity – broadcasting these unverified claims to the public.
The Bigger Picture: A War No One Wants Except The US
For the U.S., the ultimate prize would be an open conflict between India and China. A war, diplomatic or military, between nuclear-armed nations would effectively shatter any hope of BRICS challenging American global dominance. And if they can provoke this war through disinformation and manipulation of media narratives, all the better.
The disinformation campaign also serves to bring India closer to the U.S. strategically. By sowing distrust between India and China, the US hopes to benefit by promoting its defense and economic ties with India. Hence, the Deep State nations would prefer to position themselves as India’s “savior” against Chinese aggression to make a defense deal that keeps their economies afloat! But make no mistake, this isn’t about helping India; it’s about ensuring that India never becomes too friendly with China or too independent of US influence.
A Call to Action: Don’t Be Fooled by the Propaganda

The Indian public and government must remain vigilant against these disinformation campaigns. The Line of Actual Control is a fluid, poorly defined boundary, unlike the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan. Propaganda about encroachments and satellite images is merely a tool of foreign powers. The aim is to manipulate India into making rash decisions that serve their interests, not India’s.
So, the next time “satellite images” showing Chinese encroachment are coupled with the cacophony of the opposition demanding action, know that there is a bigger game afoot! Who benefits from this narrative? Is it India? Or is it the same foreign powers that have long sought to destabilize the region?
Bharat must tread carefully, focusing on building its infrastructure, strengthening its borders, and fostering pragmatic diplomacy with its neighbors. With China, Bharat needs to reach neutral yet cautious relations – “Hindu-Chini, Bhai-Bhai” is not the solution! The Deep State is in deep trouble with two wars in the world! Thus, it will continue to pull the strings, hoping that India and China will fall into their “war trap”. People like Sonam Wangchuk want to draw another Kisan Andolan in the name of Ladakh! Bharat should not fall for his provocations and allegations! Let the nations of BRICS work together to challenge the real global threat: the Deep State ecosystem that seeks to divide and conquer.
