When Kailash Mansarovar reverberated with Battle cry of "JAMMU RAJ KI JAI; SHEETLA MATA KI JAI"

Zorawar Singh's army unit FATEH SHIBJI PALTAN (named after #Hindu God Shivji) had camped here at night, when the Tibetean forces surprised Dogras with an attack at midnight (1)
A great confusion prevailed on the occasion & Dogras, Ladakhis & Baltis commenced fighting each other

Zorawar handled the situation promptly & tactfully. He ordered that man belonging to his force should shout "Jammu Raj Ki Jai" to be answered by "Sheetla Mata ki Jai" (2)
Anyone who failed to utter this slogan, was to be slain unhesistatingly

The device worked miracles & not only overcame the crisis but also enabled Dogras to single out their enemies. The battle continued till daybreak, when Tibeteans took to flight (3)

#VeerZorawar
Dogras captured Imperial Chinese flag bearing image of flying tiger/dragon named as Mantalai (Mansarovar) flag by Dogras

Mantalai Flag remind us of the Victory at Taklakot, and how a Dogra Army penetrated 1400 Kms deep into Tibetan territory (4)
Now, This flag is in proud posession of 4th Batallion of JAK Rifles (which then formed part of Zorawar Singh Kahluria's force) (5)
