In short, this is a Kesari of Ladakh! But enough about India!
Here, is the detailed information about China.
China is the biggest superpower in Asia if not in the world. They have everything. They have technology, money & people. In short, China is powerful and nobody messes with it. Not even the USA & not even Russia.
We have a bully constantly eyeing our land. In 1962, China wanted to teach India a lesson. May be it has something to do with Tibet........
And the HH Dalai Lama taking refuge in India! This is our independent India........
This part of Jammu and Kashmir was already taken away by our beloved neighbours.
And China's troops were marching in from here. The problem is India never expected that China would attack.
But
How long could we be?
On 18th November 1962 6,000 Chinese troops entered Rezangla a mountain pass just a little ahead of everyone's favourite Pangong lake. it was winter time with sub zero temperature. No air support, No artillery support Not even the bullet proof vest, Nothing. There was no way Indians could win!
But our brave soldiers led by Major Shaitan Singh decided to fight back. There were 50 Chinese for every one Indian soldiers. The Chinese where smart. They are attacked in the absolute darkness of 3:00 a.m. with 200 soldiers first and India manage to beat that waves.
Then more soldiers in another wave more more and more. By 6:00 a.m. they brought in their big guns for the end game. By that time the Indian soldiers were already fighting for 3 hours.
No communication and No backup, because this was ladakh it was extreme and remote and most importantly ignored by the then government. At one point our soldiers ran out of communication. But they didn't run out of bravery.
They fought the Chinese with everything they had.
Nayak Hukumchand was India's mountain. He crushed Chinese soldiers with bare hands. The soldiers fighting this losing battle had a chance to withdraw.
They had their excuse!
But the second in command said,
"Sir don't even ask us to fall back, none of us are going to follow that".
All these ahirs were shot in the head or in the chest. Nobody ran away they were not shot in the back!
For the 120 dead Indians. There were over a 1000 dead Chinese.
This is a story of Charlie company of 13 Kumao. And this was the last man last round battle.
This is just a small battle from the Indo China war.
It is so much important for us to know that without this ladakh would have been in China. All the people who come to ladakh owe a great debt to these warriors.
Let's value the independence!
