Thanks everyone. .keep the light burning
Thank you for the article.
Thank you so much for putting such astonishing facts about the past before us. Feel proud. The selfless service for the nation is the reason they are considered an epitome of patriotism.
India gave China a bloody nose even in 1962. Despite Indian Army abandoning posts and running away, Jawaharlal Nehru stood like a man he was. Despite China’s threat to invade Assam if their possession of NEFA is not recognized, Nehru declined the Ceasefire and vowed to fight. By November 1962, Nehru forced China retreat to pre-war positions and recovered every inch of NEFA lost by the Army. China never claimed victory nor even acknowledges any war ever taking place. When enemy retreats, any other nation would claim victory while only Indians can INSIST of “defeat, debacle and humiliation”.
