Background of the Galwan Clash
The Galwan Valley clash was one of the most serious and deadly confrontations between India and China in more than forty years. It occurred in June 2020, sparked by growing tensions over infrastructure development in the high-altitude border region. India was working on the expansion of a strategically important road — the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldi (DSDBO) route — which leads to a critical airstrip near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). China strongly objected to this construction, viewing it as a threat to its territorial interests, which ultimately led to a violent and historic standoff. Indian and Chinese forces are engaged in deadlock in Pangong Tso, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Baig Old in East Ladakh.

China opposed this roadwork, viewing it as a threat to its own territorial claims. The disagreement escalated into a brutal face-off, leading to the tragic deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an undisclosed number of Chinese troops. The battle was fought without firearms, under a long-standing protocol, using crude weapons like stones, rods, and makeshift clubs — making the incident all the more shocking.
The Galwan clash not only ignited intense nationalist sentiment but also triggered multiple rounds of high-level diplomatic and military talks between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Despite ongoing negotiations, the border standoff remains a source of unresolved tension.
This real-life conflict forms the powerful foundation for ‘Battle of Galwan’, which aims to bring this historic moment to life on the big screen, honoring the bravery and sacrifice of India’s armed forces.
