and the cia wargamed it predicting that india will lose to china and paxis. so the prediction was sikkim in exchange for kashmir.
on why 1965 not 1966 as originally thought?
a name to remember. Brig Thomas K. Theograj who saved Akhnoor from falling in hands of paxis.
This is the great then Maj Gen Sagat Singh. He retired as Lt. Gen.
thing about Silguri corridor which idiots are still tryign to occupy to cut India from NE.
sounds familiar? Doklam version 1.0. 1966. same result as 50 years later.
everything that was started by mao to unsettle india. it is tragic that it took us 50 years to clear 80% of the crap. 20% is still there thanks to mother-sellers like @SitaramYechury et al.
the SM of those days. Loudspeakers.

reminds of the incident that took place very recently when our Lt punched a PLA Major. https://swarajyamag.com/politics/how-the-fist-that-felled-chinese-army-officer-in-sikkim-on-saturday-packed-three-generations-of-valour
for killing 88 of ours [mostly not prepared for battle as they were laying barbed wire], our guys took out 350 of theirs who were in bunkers.

another person who literally changed the course of this short war. Havildar Tinjong Lama from Darjeeling.
the ghosts of 1962 were exorcised. 100 on our side to about 400 on theirs. One man who made this possible Lt. Gen Sagat Singh.
1971. Amrikans wanted hans to start another front w/ India. But the short war at Nathu La and Cho La helped India.
of course teh same a.h Kissinger flew down a couple of years back to pay his tribute to NM. How time changes!!!

Kissinger who called us "cowards".
again it was Lt Gen Sri Sagat Singh who got us Dhaka and thus swift vicotry in 1971 before amrikans could come..
The impact of these two battles, Nathu La and Cho La, is vastly understated in Indian history. Not in the military one though. In public memory.
Baba Harbajan, the guardian of soldiers at Nathu la and Cho La.
// Those interested in learning about our battles w/ the hans do read the book. an interesting one and a very important one. gives us glimpse into the hans psyche. i highly doubt anything has changed in theirs over past 50 years though our army's confidence's been boosted 1008!!
