FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact checked the post and found it to be misleading.
On carefully examining the video we noticed a flag, which did not look like the Indian flag.

We then took the keyframes of the video and put them through Reverse Image Search. The search led us to a better quality version of the same video on YouTube, dated August 27, 2020.
“Tibetans army enjoying in border,” the video title read.

In the YouTube video, the flag is clearly visible.

Taking a cue from above, we ran a keyword search and found out that the flag is of Tibet.

Moreover, according to media reports, the violent skirmish between India and China took place on the night of August 29-30, 2020, which was before the post was put out. The reports can be seen here and here.
We also found several reports that following Chinese provocation on August 31, India has mobilised its troops in Rezang La and Reqin La in the Chushul sector to keep an eye on the Chinese Army movement. Another report can be seen here.
Hence, from the above information, we can say that the post in question is misleading and false.
