India-China detente to India-China thaw

After a key agreement between India and China, the two countries have begun troop disengagement at the two friction points in eastern Ladakh's Demchok and Depsang Plains and this process is likely to be completed by October 28-29.

The agreement was arrived at only for these two friction points, and "talks are still underway" for other areas.

India Today's Raj Chengappa analyses the significance of the thaw in relations between Indian PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping with Ashok Kantha, an Indo-China expert.
