By persistently maintaining the standoff between its troops trespassing in China's territory and the Chinese troops stationed there, what does India want, a war with China or something else?

By calling on India to withdraw its troops and warning it time and again about the serious consequences it will face, China has given it an inch but India wants to take a mile, not only by turning a deaf ear to the repeated warnings but also by increasing its military presence along that section of the delimited border.

The Press Trust of India quoted an unnamed government official as saying that the "caution level" among the troops has also been raised. It is hard to escape the conclusion that it is making preparations for a military clash with China.
