[S.T.D.]

The Chinese launched simultaneous offensives in Ladakh and across the McMahon Line on 20 October 1962, coinciding with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Chinese troops advanced over Indian forces in both theatres, capturing Rezang la in Chushul in the western theatre, as well as Tawang in the eastern theatre. The war ended when the Chinese declared a ceasefire on 20 November 1962, and simultaneously announced its withdrawal from the disputed area. -- from wiki....

50 years since the India-China war started...

It was days of turbulence...
curfew... blackout.... bombshell.... every thing was there.
Let's not go deep into the reasons/ outcome or policies if they were right or wrong ... because every thing is past...
But the pain ...
it remains..
sufferings...
still remain...

At this stage at least, let peace prevail and let the world, and our country in particular, not see any more war or terror...

Our looking back will definitely guide us...
provided
we look back...

And for those who were not witness to that 1962 scenes
