Details of the war between India and china

Although China had been preparing an offensive against India for several years for a variety of motives, the pretext given was a territorial dispute concerning a Himalayan region known in India as Arunachal Pradesh and in China as South Tibet. Fighting began on June^[11] (by Chinese view) or 20 October (by Indian view) 1962 between the People's Liberation Army and the Military of India. The offensive was delayed so that it would coincide with the Cuban Missile Crisis, which began in 1962. The first heavy engagement of the war was a Chinese attack on an Indian patrol north of the McMahon Line.^[7] The conflict eventually widened to include the region of Aksai Chin which the PRC regarded as a strategic link, via the China National Highway route G219, between the Chinese-administered territories of Tibet and Xinjiang. The war ended when the Chinese captured the disputed area and unilaterally declared a ceasefire on 20 November 1962, which went into effect at midnight. At present China controls South Xinjiang, an area claimed by India as Aksai Chin, whereas India controls Arunachal Pradesh an area claimed by China as belonging to South Tibet.

The Sino-Indian War is notable for the harsh conditions under which much of the fighting took place, entailling large-scale combat at altitudes of over 4,250 metres (14,000 feet).^[7] This presented enormous logistical problems for both sides. The Sino-Indian War was also noted for the non-use of navy and airforce by both the Chinese and Indian sides.

The aftermath of the war saw sweeping changes in the Indian military to prepare it for similar conflicts in the future, and placed pressure on Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who was seen as responsible for provoking China and failing to anticipate the Chinese military action.

China utilise all of its 100 % force in the reason while india utilise only 62% of its force at max(as Pakistan including east bengal ) was there to count on any of the deficiency shown by indian defence.

Thats why Indian defense is best as they have to face major force yet to reciprocate few notorious force supported by few notorious country.

On October 20, 1962, the Chinese People's Liberation Army launched two attacks, 1000 kilometers apart. In the western theater, the PLA sought to expel Indian forces from the Chip Chap valley in Aksai Chin while in the eastern theater, the PLA sought to capture both banks of the Namka Chu river. Some skirmishes also took place at the Nathula Pass, which is in Sikkim, a protectorate of India at that time. Gurkha rifles travelling north were targeted by Chinese artillery fire. After four days of fierce fighting, the three regiments of Chinese troops succeeded in securing a substantial portion of the disputed territory.

After Zhou received Nehru's letter, the war restarted. The fighting resumed on the eastern theater on November 14 (Nehru's birthday), with an Indian attack on Walong, claimed by China, launched from the defensive position of Se La. The Indians were stopped 50 meters away from the crest and were comprehensively lost by the Chinese counteroffensive. The Chinese lost military activity on Aksai Chin and NEFA hours after the Walong battle.

But aftermath of this war ,China lost its face in world but to only become as an agrresive country.

Though superior , yet this country doent have any moral face in front of India.

India was far superior than China and yet it is.

Long live India.
