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.
