If they are going to discuss it, then de facto the issue becomes 'not settled'. Stupid asses keep playing into China's hands. When they should be bolstering border defenses, to make sure intrusions are punished quickly and effectively, they keep letting China dictate the terms of the talks again and again and again. Stupid fools. Power respects power. Nobody respects weak windbags. Be polite but be like a rock. And back it up with military power and alliances to repel any intrusion. In addition, India needs to adopt psychological warfare against China's problems - a two-faced policy that can enable India to put China on the defensive, especially in areas like Tibet, E Turkestan etc.
