In october 1962, during the Sino-Indian conflict, the Chinese People's Liberation Army deployed vast numbers of troops across the border between China and India, high up in the inhospitable Himalayas mountain range.
This was in response to an ongoing dispute with India over territory.
There had also been numerous clashes between the two sides after the Tibetan Uprising in 1959, when their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama was expelled from the country by the Chinese and offered asylum in India.
A fierce and bloody battle took place at Bum La Pass, as the Indian Army attempted to counter attack and push back the invading forces. In the middle of this conflict was an Indian Officer by the name of Joginder Singh.

There was another incident in this war which isn't mentioned in this video. An Indian Rifleman by the name of Jaswant Singh of 4th Garhwal Rifles had lost his entire platoon but he managed to hold off Chinese attacks for 48 hours by using deceptive tactics and making the Chinese think there were more Indian soldiers guarding the outpost.

21 Sikhs held 10000 armed Afghanis carrying early bolt action rifles from above a fort during 1800s much long. 20 Sikhs held 200 Chinese soldiers carrying modern automatic assault rifles from a fortified position uphill in 1962 much long. Seems like a group of 20 something Sikh soldiers in a fortified position at an advantage position is a very deadly defense. Next time Sikhs should try two groups of 20 something soldiers to face the enemy to win the defense.

This was just one of the Battles of this war where heroic last stands was. Another two would be: Battle of Rezang La: 120 Indian Soldiers vs 5000 Chinese Soldiers. Battle of Nauranang: Where a single Indian soldier(from 4th Garwhal rifle), Jaswant Singh Rawat, decided to stay when his company withdrew from the position after suffering heavy casualties and from lack of logistics. He held of the Chinese alone with the help of two local girls, Sela and Noora. Rushing from position to position, Rawat held off the enemy(approximately 300 more or less Chinese) for 72 hours until the Chinese captured a local supplier, who told them that they were facing only one fighter. The Chinese then stormed Rawat's position, but the exact details of his death are unclear. Some accounts claim that Rawat shot himself with his last round of ammunition; others state that he was taken prisoner and executed by the Chinese. Sela was also KIA and Noora was captured. What's make his last stand more interesting is that One of the Chinese Soldier cut off his head and took the decapitated head back of home as war trophy. But out of respect for his bravery, the Chinese commander eventually returned Rawat's severed head and a brass bust of him to Indian Government after the war was over.

India is full of courageous martial races but the sad fact is that it has become customary to rely on the personal courage of personnel because that is *cheaper* than equipping them with the best. We are in 2022 and the Indian army is STILL upgrading the equipment of personnel in sensitive regions, to a standard that was relevant decades ago, one would thin atleast the airforce would be given more prominence but nope Mig 21s still form the bulk and will only be phased out by 2025 and that too who knows if the schedule will hold or some political crap will stall that.

Err....I agree with you in principle, but MiG-21 don't form "the bulk" anymore. Only around 3 squadrons in service now.

The Paramveer Chakra is awarded for "distinguished acts of valour"??? No no no....the Paramveer Chakra is not like the Medal of Honour or Victoria Cross, the medal is awarded for bravery beyond what is humanly capable. Of the 21 Param Veer Chakras awarded to all individuals, 16 are posthumous. It is very rare for a soldier to be alive and be awarded the Paramveer Chakra. Last time the Paramveer Chakra was awarded was in 1999 during the Kargil war. One medal was awarded to Captain Vikram Batra (posthumous) and the other was awarded to now Subedar Major Yoginder Singh Yadav, the youngest recipient of the honour. Also, the Paramveer Chakra is not an "Indian Army medal" rather it is a military medal awarded to all branches of the military and paramilitary during times of war.

Another battle involving Sikhs took place at Dong Hill. Near the Walong Sector. Where 400 Sikhs held a flank despite being encircled and abandoned for days against a much larger Chinese force. They were the 2nd longest to hold out and covered the retreat of the Indian army. The unit suffered very heavy casualties but played a crucial role in the battle.

Dad was in the Indian military, he said the actual Chinese deaths were around 3000 since even the Chinese (in the other sector) didn't have enough gear. They used to do the old Soviet charge where only the first line of people running towards the Indian post had the guns, when they died, the guy behind picked up the weapon. Same thing happened in the Korean War where Chinese did the same thing to Americans and then rejected any claims of doing so while the American troops testified that they used to do that in combat and then claim very few deaths.

Read about the story of Lieutenant Adnan Bin Saidi and the Malay regiment. The heroic Malay soldier in the British army who fought the Japanese in the battle of Bukit Chandu in Pasir Panjang, Singapore. Almost the same story as the late honourable heroic warrior Subedar Singh. Outnumbered, out of ammo, and mounted the only recorded desperate bayonet charge in the battle for Singapore before being captured and executed. Before that, he and his company managed to inflict many Japanese casualties and held on to his position for days even when faced with artillery and aerial bombardments. The Japanese wanted break his line and tried to fool him by disguising themselves as Sikh soldiers marching in fours instead of threes in the British army but that didn't fool the smart Lieutenant Adnan, who then ordered his men to open fire at the Japanese at close range. The longest battle during the fall of Malaya and Singapore. His war cry was "Biar putih tulang, Jangan putih mata!" Meaning "Death, before dishonour." He is local hero in Malaysia and Singapore and has an entire museum dedicated to him and his company as well as the battle that took place. Biar putih tulang, jangan putih mata!! Al-fateha.
