This Is How Major Shaitan Singh & His Men Fearlessly Defeated The Chinese Troops & Saved Ladakh In 1962

The Sino-Indian war of 1962 goes down in our history books as nothing more than India's disastrous defeat to the Chinese. However, there was one bright spot for the country during the war which is still remembered as the greatest last stand ever taken by any battalion in the country's history.

We are talking about the the battle of Rezang La that took place on November 18, 1962. Led by Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, 120 jawans of the Charlie Company of the 13th Kumaon battalion fought and killed nearly 1300 Chinese men and successfully pushed back the enemy troops after a hard-fought battle.

India hasn’t lost a lot of wars – which is why 1962 India-China war is essential because it hardened the resolve for India to create an army like no other.

Despite the fact that India lost the war, it made us realise how important it was to modernise our army and weaponry. The only thing that stood out though was the bravado of the Indian soldier - who fought to his last breath without weapons or back up often with his bare hands like in the case of Rezang La.
