Social media users circulated a video expressing positive sentiments amid the longstanding border tensions between India and China, particularly in Ladakh. The video surfaced around the same time as the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, introducing a distinctive element as Chinese soldiers were observed chanting victory to Lord Ram instead of the typical confrontational slogans.

It is crucial to highlight that the authenticity of the video and the precise timeframe of its occurrence could not be immediately confirmed by Asianet Newsable. Nonetheless, speculations suggest that the video may date back approximately three months.
