Aparajita Mishra
T
he Indian Army. With so many stories and
instances that proved the intrepidity of the
brave soldiers, we as citizens should salute
and revere them. Just mere words filled
with right adjectives can never do full justice as we
can never thank them enough for what they do for
us, but we can at least take a moment and
remember these brave hearts and their
contribution towards the country’s tranquility.
And therefore, with this article, let’s take a
moment to pay reverence to these brave hearted
soldiers. Since listing every milestone in this would
be a humongous task, we bring forward some of the
remarkable stories by the Indian Army.

The war of 1967: When the brave
Indian soldiers defeated China
and defended Sikkim
Nathu La Incident: Since border tactics was a
common thing that the Chinese Army used to
instigate India, the Indian Army decided to lay
down wire to fence the border.
As soon as the fencing work commenced,
the Chinese Commissioner came to the Indian
side and asked them to stop the work. There was
a heated argument and the Commissioner left.
And just after a few minutes, Chinese troops
indulged in heavy gun fire. Contemplating
China’s aggression, Indian side opened fire too.
The effective firing resulted in the damage of
Chinese bunkers and the death toll was over 400,
resulting in China’s defeat.
Cho La Incident: China couldn’t accept their
defeat at Nathu La incident, and they planned an
unprecedented attack again at Cho La pass.
China lost its 40 elite commandos. The
end of the battle witnessed China leaving Sikkim
once and for all. Two brave officers – Captain
Dagar and Major Harbhajan Singh died a valiant
death.
