Would love to see that as well.
That's an amazing idea
Agreed
@@Layth09 yeah it’s wild how those wars are not covered here, they were really pivotal in creating US-Vietnam relations today I think
I've only ever seen a small channel slightly dabble on it and I've been addicted to see more on it. It's such a cool concept and I'm surprised no one's capitalizing on it
My grandpa fought in this war. He was captured by the Chinese but they didn’t execute him as they found a picture of my mom in his pocket and let him go home.
Neither of China and India should be victim of British colonialism
I am surprised that China was actually humane those times. If it was now he would have been executed for sure
将来要是打起来别怕。中国优待俘虏😂
Your grandpa was released not because of that picture. PLA well treated all captives and released them.
So many wumaos in the replies
To add to this: as both developing countries that have been independent for a short time, China was more respectful of India at the time.As the video says, India decided to take a step forward and China decided it could only strike back. China took the quick-fire approach, hitting the plains from the Himalayas in less than a month, and New Delhi was already panicking at the time. But China was poor, logistics and supplies were an issue, having suffered losses on the Korean battlefield, and also China was worried about the US intervention causing a bigger conflict, and withdrew its troops quickly before the US army could arrive. You can check the history, when the Chinese withdrew, they didn't take the spoils of war, and even repaired and refueled the cars abandoned by India, because the Chinese leaders at that time still wanted to solve the problem peacefully.
China is often demonized and it's nice to see a comment like this. Objective notarization No matter where you stand, if you are an Indian you are a noble person, respect

The chinese didn't have any respect for Indians back then and neither do today. Mao knew that they couldn't hold on to all fhe territory they conquered. So they retreated to a more defensible line.
The chinese continue to covet more territory in Laddakh which is evident from their salami slicing tactics employed between 2005-2013.
after new China established in 1949. China got three important battles, the most difficult and tough one was Korea battle, the opponent was USA supported South Korea. the easiest one battle for China was india, I watched some documentaries and some Chinese soldiers who participated in the China Indian border war said that fighting the Indian army was much easier than they imagined
Korea War, Vietnam War, India War, impacts to Asian history by priority.
I don't know why would they think they won the war,they should feel ashamed for breaking trust. It was easy because china backstabbed india. India and China were almost equal militarily and economically, actually I would even say India had a better hand, china won only because, china attacked india,, when india wasn't expecting a "friendly china" to be offensive. At least we got a lesson to not trust any country on world stage.
Obviously.. Fighting an unprepared enemy will be easier.. Maybe Vietnam had a hint..

My grandfather served in this war in the Assam region. He was an engineer, and while the Chinese were close to Tezpur, he and a soldier laid a communication line through a forest leading towards Arunachal. He died before I was born otherwise I would have asked him to relate all his experiences.
His brother remembers some things but he is losing his memories.
I know a lot of Indians will not agree, but I personally think China took a very measured response to the developments that had taken place in our history. Even at war they were humane.
It's good to see some positive attitude from the other side of the border. Otherwise, the vast majority of indian hate Chinese and Pakistanis.

One day, a robber came to your house and said, 'One of your houses belongs to me!'So he took a pen and drew a line unilaterally. A few years later, the robber ran away, leaving behind his minion!But the robber's minion thought that what the robber had was his own, so he wanted to occupy the area that the robber had previously drawn a line. One day in 1962, he dared to occupy the area, but was beaten up by the original owner.Afterwards, the minion began to hold a grudge against the original owner of the house, believing that the owner had taken away his place.
Exactly 😂

That is the correct summary
Perhaps the house wasn't yours 300 years before the robber came and was conquered by not chinese but foreign manchuks you chinese never set foot out china to conquer only foreign invaders who became like u did

The farthest Chinese army attack on the eastern front of the Sino-Indian border reached the outskirts of Tespur, but did not enter the city. According to the memories of some veterans, they were stationed near the railway line of Tespur. After a while, the Chinese army received a message from Beijing. The order required them all to retreat and reach the stop line. During this period, the Chinese army did not suffer any pursuit.

China won the war with India but they didn't occupy any land there. The UK occupied India for a long time, when they left they drew a new map saying part of China's land belongs to India, that is why the conflict between India and China can not be resolved.
yes
There was no “McMahon line” in original agreement. However, British rewrote it by adding McMahon line in British documents which means even Tibet did not sign an agreement including McMahon line. Historians found this point in recent years.
*FREE TIBET, chinese GO BACK*
You can call it Tibetan land too but never chinese
It can be seen that India can’t stay away from Britain.they will lose ability to distinguish right from wrong without the help of Britain. They have time to regret now😂
More coverage of these less covered conflicts is greatly appreciated. Crazy that this still brews on today.
I am a Chinese and I hope that the people of China and India can be friendly for generations! May world peace prevail.

印度在这场战役损失了几个旅 还要一个王牌师 和平☮️从来都不是乞求而来 而是靠自己的实力
My state of Arunachal Pradesh was one of the main battlefields of this war, Indian army was beaten because many troops that came here were from the plains unused to mountain terrain and low oxygen at heights, bad logistics meant they were ill equipped for harsh temperatures and low on food/ammo. The chinese ususally bypassed strong positions and cut off the supply lines regulary out maneuvering Indian positions. Our soldiers fought valiantly with many stories of indivdual last stands against overwhelming odds but ultimately were beaten . Our leadership(both civilian and military) severly underestimated the chinese who had much experience fighting in mountains with veteran troops from Korean conflict.
another thing is to consider is when the Chinese state in this iteration goes to war a lot of troops are in the rural west and up North (this is a generalization and certainly *NOT always* true), so the recruitment base is also slanted to favor mountain training and peripheral defense
hahahahahaha 你知道朝鲜半岛的山海拔多高吗？
@@user-ph6yu4rt3e still cant beat the peaks of himalays mountains . Stupido chinese bots 😂😂😂😂
Mt everest is the highest peak on earth not korean mountains .
And btw korean isnt mountain terrain its elevated peninsula . Get your geography fact checked right . 😂😂😂
To summarize, the Indians got their butts kicked.
There is nothing sad about this. The Chinese army also defeated the British in Korea. The British can do nothing about it, and India does not need to be ashamed.
The creation of India's borders was complex and led to major issues that persist to this day. Sir Henry McMahon, on the British side, drew the McMahon Line, which is supposed to separate India from China. However, this line is not recognized by China, yet India uses it to claim territories that are under dispute. Moreover, when India and Pakistan were divided in 1947, the borders were hastily drawn by Sir Cyril Radcliffe, which led to further conflicts, especially over the region of Kashmir. The actions of these individuals during the British colonial period have repercussions even today. It's crucial to remember our history and seek peaceful and fair solutions to these territorial disputes.
underrated comment
The days of the West meddling are gone. Post Iraq and Afghanistan, we have no authority. Now we can't say what a male and female is in our own species, we're a joke.
Every border was drawn by humans. Most have disgruntled humans on either side.
It's moral vanity to play saviour. You're irrelevant.
I will go further. If you call your resolution to the border issue a "Forward Policy", you are the aggressor, full stop.
The reason why there is a border issue is due to the attempted expansion of the British Raj into Tibet and Xinjiang. Of course, many are under the impression that it was somehow the Chinese engaging in expansion at the area when the reverse is true.
Another reason is that the Indian Republic for some reason wanted to inherit that colonial policy. India is obviously the aggressor here because it called its border policy the "Forward Policy"! Just push the borders further forward, be half hearted in resolving things peacefully and expect the Chinese not to react.
As seen from the clashes at 2020, India has learnt nothing and wants to continue from Nehru's mistakes.
Tibet, the agreement was between independent Tibet and British India. China's claim is because they took over to Tibet.
@@cecaloather8701 what an immature conclusion. They called it forward policy so they must be the agressors..

Im really thankful to you for covering such lesser known aspects of history, but let me tell you that in India it is a much known conflict and very few know about the Cuban Missile Crisis here.

This host is talking nonsense, and he is talking nonsense here with a little knowledge. Look at the American "Christian Science Monitor" saying that China "won the war as easily as a knife cut butter"

@@theinternationale-us2wcyeah, but china also got a bloody nose in the 1967 conflict
He only covers what is at his best interest right now, which is to destabilize the India/China relation. His version of history is full of bias view and depicts China as scare to America supporting India, that is why the Chinese retreated during the short conflict, which is also created by the British Rai when they invaded India, as well as China.
During the Korean War in 1951, the Chinese defeated the 17-nation coalition forces led by the United States and wiped out 250,000 Americans and 60,000 coalition forces from various countries. China lost more than 300,000 people. This is recorded in the history of war. At that time, it directly entered today's Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Having beaten Vietnam into Hanoi in 1979, India need not feel depressed.
Hanoi beat China? Are you serious? When the French colonists and American colonists were about to occupy the whole of Vietnam, the Chinese Communist Party did not send instructors to train your army and provide materials. Vietnam may now be a capitalist country, and American troops are stationed!
You don't know what your talking about
@@user-nl6bv2dg3vthey're the average chinese bots
Let them think as id they're the next nazi germany(of 1939)
Indian always blame their failure due to too many Chinese soldiers, while they never think about if the Chinese troop can defeat USA, how can India win this army, that's why Mao Ze Dong can not figure it out. Can you figure it out?
In 1979, China only managed to capture Lang Son, which was about 23 km from Chinese border and 150 km from Hanoi, after 2 weeks of combat against local militia.
During the whole 2 weeks campaign, China estimated that it had lost 10% of armour vehicles (Reality was much worse)
The Vietnamese did not even pull their troops out of Cambodia until 10 years later when China’s ally Khmer Rouge had no real power left.

mao Said back then: why did Nehru start this war? I don't understand.
I'm actually very surprised how. you create these detailed videos of so many different countries and I'm from India and I tell you that you know more about this war in 1962 than a lot of other Indians know and actually have to compliment you for doing such a nice research and creating this video
I think this video favoured Indian viewers more coz it doesn't cover CCP's warning to "withdraw troops or bear all consequences", which was the most serious diplomatic statement already. The most important incident- Zhou Enlai's visit to India in 1960, which is now considered the turning point and eventually resulted in war 1962, is not mentioned. What Zhou said in India is thoroughly recorded and interpreted in English can be found online. Another person worth mentioning is India's Defence Minister V.K. Krishna Menon at that time. Menon's meetings with China's foreign minister Chen Yi and Zhou Enlai failed to reach its purpose to reach peace and ease tension. Ironically, he was the person worsen the situation and led India unprepared for war as India's Defence Minister. Before the attack, China was trying all its means to address the serious consequences and Zhou's visit was last hope to use diplomatic means to solve the tension. China was very surprised that India wasn't very well prepared for military conflicts during the attack. I hope both sides learn history as lesson and try their best to avoid wars to come.
Krishna Menon was the reason India was forbade to prepare, Nehru and Krishna Menon both considered Xàina to be an ally as a fellow Soviet Sympathisers in the east, both of them though weren't cómmunísts exactly but they did despise càpitàlism and nations that accepted capitalis ideas,
with no history of any conflict between both the ancient civilizations who had been welcoming traders from either sides since ancient times Nehru never actually saw a wàr coming, furthermore Mao Zedong's primary intention for waging a wàr(which btw it wasn't, it was just a blitzkrieg on Aksai chín with ridiculously large force of 80K soldiers against a scattered 20K across the border) was to tarnish Nehru and consequently India's image on global scale as a major geopolitical player which they were quite successful at after the wàr
And warning to face consequences doesn't justify the attack on another democracy, especially when it's just not us alleging Xaìnese to have expansionist imperialist motive, nobody wants a wàr but actually executing such feel good ideas like showering flowers and exchanging sweets with those who consistently encroach on yóur land is pretty hard to do when yóu don't live there

@@adrianbelko7683 It is pretty much a one sided claim to claim encroachment on your land when the other side claims it as well and it is interpreted in the same manner. The channel overall does favor against the Chinese perspective of historical events which is understandable (the majority of sources available in the West is the Indian perspective). If you would search up the Chinese perspective, it vastly contradicts the Indian perspective and the Indian perspective vastly contradicts the Chinese perspective. Neither are correct in their and either are wrong, the conflict is in border interests and not in humanitarian interests therefore morals can't quite applied.
@@adrianbelko7683 Like I said, the reasoning phrase and explaining phrase had been repeatedly and thoroughly done in India in front of Menon and Nehru by Zhou's visit.Differences remained and it wasn't successful for both sides(All contents available online in English). Both sides made diplomatic threats and statements. The border differences were made during British occupation, while China had been having regimes change. Thus, no written documents and formal agreement were made. I don't think it is acceptable to invite some (Tibet, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Taiwan etc) representatives to form an agreement and inform another domestic regime/government that the border has been re-arranged. If one has determined to do so, plz at least consider the livelihood of your citizens/soldiers and deter its enemies from attacking.
The video downplays Indian Forward Policy; the constant push forward and taking over of the disputed territory, while the Chinese were retreating trying to avoid conflict. Also, constant Chinese diplomatic attempts and warnings in order to avoid the war were ignored. Since the Indians refused to stop their encroachment the Chinese decided that enough is enough, and launched a full scale assault, overruning the Indians. Ever since then, the wound-licking Indians blame the Chinese and make it like it was Chinese fault, even though the fault was entirely with India. The border issue still exists today because India is senseless and Indians have some kind of blind nationalism that prevents any kind of introspection and reason. Out of 14 countries China has land border with, it resolved border issues with all these countries except with India (and its protectorate of Bhutan, because India refused to allow Bhutan to make the agreement with China). India on the other hand has border issue with almost all neighbours and isn't interested in negotiations but wants 100% of all the claims, and these claims have nothing to do with historical India - but instead modern Indians want to be successors of colonial Indians and demand colonial borders, which is ridiculous and of course China won't accept that, nor should it. Most Indians today are brainwashed by fake news US and UK media (as well as their own), which makes sense because if you want to be a (neo)colony its only fitting to have thoughts formed by the master(s).
you are forgetting the South China sea dispute and for India only Pakistan (for Kashmir) and China are having border dispute other have been cleared with recently Bangladesh. We don't have any border issue with Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bhutan or Nepal. With Nepal we have an open border with free flow of people and goods without passport or visa.

The PLA was 1 hour by train from New Deli before they retreated. (You missed that fact)
But later they changed their mind. India was not worth colonizing.
Fun fact: China once suggested to India, through Zhou Enlai, that China and India could swap South Tibet with Aksai Chin in order to avoid conflict. Nehru rejected this idea on the grounds that India is entitled to all British possession in India. Even though the British themselves didn't officially recognise the McMahon Line as the border with China

定好的边界，只要你们印度别偷摸的天天搞小动作，边境就什么事情都不会有，和越南一个样子，在我心里当时的印度人唯一比越南人好的是，没越过边境线在村子里杀人。不过中印边界除了边防军也没什么人倒是了。😅
Chinese and Indians engaged in warfare reminiscent of ancient civilizations, with a strong emphasis on honor and respect for prisoners of war on both sides. This stands in stark contrast to the actions of Jihadists, Japanese, and Western imperialists.
China demonstrated its military might, compelling India to modernize its armed forces, which in turn enabled India to successfully counter Pakistan's misadventures in 1965 and ultimately led to the events of 1971.
Overall, it was a win-win situation for both countries involved, in my opinion
@@thebestevertherewas well Chinese conflicts always gave a gud lesson
Galwan clashes taught us need of being self sufficient in terms of all products rather than importing from China
Nothing to learn from Pakistan bcoz they don't have any shame

Google: Without British rule, there wouldn't have been a political union called India.
Indica name was given by Greeks before Britishers and there was the concept of Hindusthan or Bharatbharsh before. Though it's true that Pakistan's history is not before 1947.
@@arjyachatterjee6874 Meaning British win the border dispute between India and China.
@@orangutan4696 Okay, sorry for misunderstanding.
@@orangutan4696When the British left, there wasn't any India either. Small Kingdoms were choosing to rule by themselves just like small Warlords in China. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel brought all the small kingdoms together establishing Union of India i.e Bharat. Nepal, another small Hindu Kingdom was not colonised by Britishers. They could have with as well, but since they were colonised, their Monarchy had strong control on the public. Otherwise, it was a trend for hindus to finally come together to build what Ashoka Maurya once built.
India is a civilisation. Here activity prevailed when even Greece did not exist, when Rome was not thought of, when the very fathers of the modern Europeans lived in the forests and painted themselves blue.
Nice, good job. You should make a Hollywood movie on this. Cause, we know who's gonna produce that.
Anecdote from the Chinese side:
A squad of 3 Chinese soldiers charged 8 km behind Indian lines and took down 2 artillery positions guarded by 1st and 2nd Sikh battalion of the Indian elite 4th Infantry Division - an enemy dozens time their number.
In the after-action report, the squad leader famously commented on thr Sikh’s bravery: “敌人非但不投降，还胆敢向我还击” (Instead of surrendering on sight, the enemy actually dared to shoot back).
They were clearly too used to other Indian units’ lackluster resistance and were pleasantly surprised by the Sikhs.
Squadleader’s name is Pang Guoxing, if you want to look him up 😅
lets not start a youtube comment war with India lol
How on earth were Chinese outnumbered when the Chinese had the major numbers at the conflict? Lol.
There is no doubt that the Sikhs and Gurkhas are Indias best military units
@@ashishhembrom3905 they pushed a little too aggressively and out paced other units. It was night time so they lost contact with the main force. Then they decided to go big or go home (ended up doing both).
Chinese folk tales very imaginative but funny.
Seems like both countries were very much not wanting a full war and even kept their behavior under control. Such interesting piece of forgotten history.
China and India had a mostly very peaceful history for thousands of years. British drawing random lines on the map caused so many wars in the worlds.
Chinese and Indians fought how ancient Civilizations used to fight.
With Honour and respect for POW's on both sides,
Unlike the Jihadists, and the Japanese and Western imperialists.
China showed its strength, which forced India to modernize its Military, enabling it to thwart Pakistan's misadventures in 65 and ultimately led to 71.
A win-win IMO for both sides involved.

"The Indian parliament announced a national emergency", it says all. India was in panic and begged help from USSR and USA. China was calm and merciful. India's problem is to always overestimate herself and underestimate China. Same thing is still happening now.
Don't know who was begging when some troops got beaten up from Galwan during 2020 border skirmishes. Your country donot have the courage to attack India and using this stupid reason of mercy. We know better how your Mao was merciful to your own people.
You're not allowed on this site. That's your calm and merciful government for you.
It is this smug attitude that made China one of the most unlikable countries on the planet.
Emergency is always imposed during any war. India asked for diplomatic support, but 1967 Chinese got a bloody nose when they overestimated themselves.
does it not tell something? Chinese can still use western media outlets while not allowing them inside china@@infogames2724
Good one
China held fire while the Indians retreated and buried the Indian dead with honors. Class.
The effort put into these videos is amazing. What’s even better about the videos is the historical content that is not so know. Could you perhaps do a video about the Invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw pact which was overshadowed by Vietnam war ?
A popular historian has finally made a video about this.
Thankyou for covering this war.
Big fan
Love from India ❤
Hey Griffin and team, keep up the great work. This topic is perfect….important but less known. Nice to take a break from WW2.
I’m loving this kind of content especially focusing on lesser known conflicts if only the UA-cam algorithm rewarded this kind of content

Would request you guys to put up a video on the Indo-Pak wars as well. Also, covering the Iran-Iraq War would be a great choice. It stretched on for 8 long years and contains many stories.

Love this channel. History must be taught and learned. I didn't know about this conflict.
Please do a series of videos on the English Civil Wars. It's such a fascinating and complicated period in British history.
My grandfather participated in this war. He was one of the 20,000 members of the Liberation Army. The bullet hole from when he was shot is still there.

Especially with more recent events, I've been really curious about the history of tensions between India and China.
Thank you for these awesome vids
This is literally more insightful than my own history class
A Chinese's perception of modern India: 1. Ancient India is rich in culture, but has little connection with modern India. 2. A giant in speech, but a dwarf in action. 3. The door to industrial development has been closed to India, but Indians do not know it. 4. China has formed a pincer strategic posture against India in Ladakh and Doklam highlands, which is a knife on India's neck at any time.
This video is rather one sided and pro India. It also leaves out certain facts but that is to be expected in this current climate.
Wars are usually started with one side making gross underestimations of the other side such as “fire a few shots they will run away”, “Kick the door down off this rotten edifice and the rest will crumble.” Or “we can conquer them in 3 months”.
History is full of such examples. Never underestimate someone’s will to defend their homes.
Or capture other's homes 😂

This conflict became one of the reasons for the Soviet-Chinese split, since the USSR supported India in this conflict, which China regarded as a betrayal.
并不是，因为苏联想在中国东北驻扎军队，并且不归还沙皇侵占的土地
并不止这一个事件，是很多事件连起来造成的中苏冲突。
首先是苏联不遵守列宁的承诺归还被沙俄侵占的中国领土
第二是在毛泽东去了苏联见过斯大林以后知道了斯大林的心里没有苏联人民，斯大林享受奢华生活，斯大林总是以高高在上的态度对待毛泽东。
在这个时候中国和苏联就有了意识形态的分歧，只是还没有明说，知道斯大林死后赫鲁晓夫上台以后中国政府才开始公开抨击苏联政府，说苏联是修正主义。
还有就是苏联想要在中国有军事驻军，军事港口，建长波电台这些设施等。
但是最主要的还是意识形态上的分歧，在毛泽东眼中的苏联不是一个共产主义国家该有的样子。拍军队去镇压其他社会主义同盟国，而当时的中国在文化大革命时期，毛泽东要人民去评判政府，评判旧社会的规矩，评判官僚和一切来实现无产阶级专政。
反观当时的苏联的无产阶级没有太多的政治权利，没有批判政府的权利，没有反对赫鲁晓夫的权利。
Chinese r not trustworthy.
Though the Sino-Soviet split probably started even earlier, in 1958, due to Krushchev's perceived abandonment of Stalinism by Mao. Not Communist enough, I guess. The US missed a main chance by not supporting India since Partition.
The China-Soviet split started in 1956 after Nakita Khrushchev's anti-Stalin speech which eventually led to the total breakup of friendship in 1960.
In 1967 General Sagat Singh won the battle against Chinese and prevented Nathu la against chinese it was not known by many westerners as Chinese lost this battle and westerners refuse to believe it
中国军队给印度边防士兵送食物，（因为印度军官贪污了伙食费）印度军官下令攻击了中国军队，这是多么无耻的行为，国际社会都不愿意讲出来
that event in 1962 we used to call a conflict bcz its too small comparing our civil war, defending japan and chinese vs un and usa in korean war. personally i have noticed it has been a nightmare for your indian fellow
In Arunachal Pradesh Jaswant Singh Rawat defended border single handedly with the help of local tribal girl. He tied lamp on the neck of sheeps which looked as if hundreds of indian army personnel r there

indians & their fairytales.... always fascinating but rarely any real substance... in reality possibly worst warriors & biggest losers....
Great video. Great historical content
British journalist Neville Maxwell's (author of India's China War) longstanding thesis that New Delhi initiated the Sino-Indian War, which occurred at the Himalayan border from 20 October to 21 November 1962.
China underestimated India's ambition. If China knew what India was doing today, it should have occupied India in 1962 and forced India to sign the correct border treaty
China is being good to India. And as a Chinese i think it was a mistake as we all know how India behave today.
British: Draw random a single curved line over a map.
India & China: War over those line.
The British: Draw a random straight line over a map.
The Middle East: Cowabunga it is!
It seems that India has completely set itself up as the agent of imperialism in South Asia
Yes, it's Britains fault you lost
India keep hating on the British for "causing" this conflict yet they're the ones recognizing the borders drawn by their colonial masters. Their hypocrisy is astounding
If you look at the peoples of Northeast India, you will know that those territories are not Indian territories at all. If they do not belong to China, at least they should be independent instead of being occupied by poor Indian imperialism.
Yes!! Another video that isn't WW2!! Thank you Griffin make sure to tell your team how much of a great job they're doing and to keep it up!

It's funny，The Chinese generals said that they had overestimated the strength of the Indian soldiers and had not expected China to win so easily when the real war broke out. Because China's elite armies were stationed in the north to defend against a Soviet invasion.
India does not have the spirit of contract, cheated a lot of foreign companies to build India, but finally monopolized the results, kicked them out, the money went to the villa of Indian corrupt officials, most businessmen think India is more than the United States without the spirit of contract, and withdrew from the Indian market.
What India admits but Western sources often omit, is that India built outposts north of the MacMahon line under the Forward Policy. That’s outside of the India-recognised border. Some of these outposts are still manned by Indians today.
this is a 12 minute video blud
Wow. Your channel is a hidden gem. How come I wasn't aware of its existence till date. Beautiful storytelling. No doubt why you have over 2M followers.
My grandfather took part in the front lines of the war. He told a story to my dad how a bunch of officers were asked to jump in a gigantic pothole and do a half forward bend for military vehicles to drive over their backs. Nothing happened to any one of them due to the distribution of force. But I was amazed to know.

Yap the iconic SLR was issued only from late 60s-70s we were using the leftover Enfield 303 and Sten gun
Tommy guns often only used by officers and for SAW we had the bulky 20 round British made BREN .

China has been doing self-defending.
Yes, every time China launches a war of aggression it either claims to be "defending itself" or "recapturing inherent territory". This is why the Chinese believe the "China has never invaded any country" BS.

The 1960s in India would be one of the most traumatic decades. Following the 1962 war, Prime Minister Nehru died. The new Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri found himself leading the country defending itself in another war which broke out with Pakistan in 1965. Prime Minister Shastri expired in Tashkent after signing the Tashkent agreement which ended the war. The country would suffer a famine as well in the same decade.
Political instability was also there
The war destroyed Nehru. Since the India Independence Nehru had been building on the grand idea of China and India co-dominating Asia but Mao’s 62 act was a true betrayal to him. Nehru lost all his mojo and motivation after the 62 war and his health declined till his death a couple of years later.
it wasn't exactly betrayal, both countries recognise different borders, thanks to the British
