I still remember when Sumdurung Chu happened. I remember the public differences between General Sundarji and Rajiv Gandhi. General Sundarji was the most daring General Independent Indian Army ever had. He was also the architect of Operation Brasstacks. General Sundarji was the Indian version of General Erwin Rommel. Had he been in charge today we would have recaptured some of the Indian territory lost to China in 1962.
You hit the nail on the head - they are bullies. They will attack if they think they are a lot stronger and they will back off if the adversary has an even chance. In one word, they are cowards.
Great reminder and great narration. My humble tribute to Gen Sundarjee. My salute to Gen Narhari, Gen Singh, Gen. Verma and IA and IAF. Thanx. Jai Hind.
SSB was the Special Service Bureau now known as the Sashastra Seema Bal.SIB is the Subsidiary Intelligence Bureau, not quite the same as SSB. It was Inspector Pemba Bhutia with whom I served as Medical Officer in SSB's Group Centre in Dirang who first detected the PLA incursion in Sumdorong Chu
Yes.. Dr Chatterjie is right about SSB bit only up to a point. And there's a lot more to Sumdrong Chu than what has been said above. .. The inside stuff..
Brilliant channel Nitin, I have been flowing you since my teenage years. Always a delight to watch you speak. Very well researched, good old patriotism and no hubris or jingoism like Republic TV. I greatly admire and respect you for your effort towards authenticity & accuracy, being pro-India while not being hateful against anyone.
In this day n age, journalism has become an art, to put a spin on facts this gentleman comes as a breath of fresh air , stating the facts the way it happened , humble demeanor with expert knowledge .
Thanks for this EP. on the similar lines, I would request you to do a piece on the battle of 1967. Last year I read this book - Watershed 1967: India's Forgotten Victory Over China. I feel this chapter doesn’t get its fair share of history.
In 1966-67, India very effectively thwarted Chinese misadventure at the Sikkim-China border through Nathula pass which China never expected. Since then Indian military power and fighting spirit were viewed with respect by the Chinese. During the Bangladesh war in 1971, China was coaxed by Nixon and Kissinger to open fronts to weaken India, but China did not venture because the bitter memory of the last confrontation was still fresh in their minds.
For people like me, who have recently started following Defence and Strategic affairs, this is a fantastic channel as I get to know about the various operations that happened in the past.
My Salute to Major Gen. Singh & Lt. Gen. Narhari!! Be it 1947, 1962, or 1971, Officers of Indian Army have always been there with Better Integrity, & Valor!! I recently read, in 1971, one of the defeated Pakistani soldier( out of 97,000), regretted, 'we didn't have officers like Indian Army'... Once again, my Salute, to the Army, everybody in the Army!!
Fascinating insight about Indian army and the brilliant Sundaram. Strat news global as usual gives a insightful analysis which made India proud and kept the bullies China in place. Keep up the good work. All the best.
capabilities by itself is meaningless if there is no political will or desire to use them. India has a superb advantage in high altitude mountain warfare. yet we waste it by constantly talking to the enemy while allowing it time to grow strong. Indian leadership is not even considering recovering Aksai Chin or Kailash Manasarovar. so ... let's not keep fooling ourselves by over estimating our capabilities and under estimating the enemy all the while. we are happy to sell and buy chinese mobile phones in the country.
Very great analysis. There is propaganda and then there's actual threat perception. Keeping this in mind, your channel is more accurate in threat perception analysis. Hope more Indian media follow this same trail. Keep doing what you're doing because this is the best youtube channel. Jai Hind.
Most of the military operations or the stories are not known or even talked and most of us are unaware about our own armed forces. I thank to the channel and Nitin sir for bringing out untold stories about our Armed Forces.
I wish the corruption in arms procurement ends sooner than later. Countless innocent patriotic soldiers have lost their lives due to faulty and substandard ammunition. INSAS is a painful example.
@@nilnull5457 I do wonder how she missed that one... Considering she did contemplate bombing Pakistani nuclear facility...May be Khalistanis were more bigger national security threat that time(not that they are not now) and they hogged all her focus...
It is good to learn the courageous moments of Indian defence. The successive Congress governments were all hell bent on degrading our military while some stars of our defence forces withstood the pressure from the enemies inside and outside of our country. Jai Hind.
I was working in Dirang from 1989 to 1992. Knew so many ssb officers. Mr Bharadwaj was dy commandant. I knew the medical officer, who was probably from Orissa . Commandant was from Indore. Ssb had a beautiful campus, which i believe it still has. I last visited Dirang in 2012. Had a chance to visit Tawang and Lumla .
Indians had failed to upgrade its forces and infrastructure adequately along the tibetan border even after the massive defeat in the hands of chinese in 1962..it took indian policy makers more than 40 years to approve any new infrastructures along LAC and even to raise reasonable size of mountain strike force...but the the same time , the chinese had relentlessly built massive highways,bridges,tunnels, rail ways, air ports all over tibet and have a dedicated force of 300,000 soldiers training at tibet...the indian army is ready to fight for the country but the spineless politicians are only worry of their positions and dont approve enough funds for the army.
@@Joy_IR89 dont laugh when the chinese are at sitting deep inside indian territory...38,000km of northern ladakh( aksai chin) is already under chinese control since 1962 and you are laughing for what reason?..you are not indian?
Is it just me or the previous government has always undermined the threat regarding Northeast and the local army incharge is always the one behind the victory.
It was the 12th battalion of the Assam Regiment which stopped the chinese in its tracks during the incident. Till date most of the peaks and mountain points are named after the officers of 12 Assam which i am a part of. TAGRA RAHO!
To the best of my knowledge the newly inducted helicopters were MI26 Halo. Capable of carrying an entire company with their equipment. That was the game changer, not MI17 that you mentioned.
I would like to correct you about the resolve to stood it's ground by Indian Army, it was not 1986, but was 1967 the Battle of Nathu La and Cho La, General Sagat Singh, Gen J S Arora and other general s of Eastern Command stood and decimated the Chinese PLA with 1000+ casualties. I my view 1967 was the watershed year in which Indian Army regained moral and martial strength against the Chinese PLA. Please ascertain the historical facts also.
India shouldn't fall into the trap that British colonists left. They used divide-and-conquer strategy and deliberately left many border disputes all around India borders. There is no right or wrong for these disputes. Each side think they're justice. The west is trilled to see Indian and China fight. India and China should leverage their thousands of years wisdom and work together to restore the No.1 and No.2 positions in the world as they did for 1800 years from A.D. 1st to A.D. 1800. China is leading in the way to take over US as No.1. India should catch up in economy by working more closely with China. Think about it, between China and US, which country sincerely hopes India becomes No.2 economy in 30 years? It's China. US will not allow India to surpass it as it doesn't allow China to surpass it today.
1962 Indian economy in 1985 invested. Once money is their muscle automotive. 1962 1985 we had diplomatic brains in MEA today can you look from that point
*@StratNewsGlobal* Hello Nitin, I respect you and your knowledge and coverage and expect your videos to be flawless !!! *SSB is Shashastra Seema Bal* and NOT Seema Suraksha Bal. AND Why didn't you mention 1967 war with China in Sikkim ?? India gave a bloody nose to China.
My point as china surrounded in s.c sea,and dare to attacked in north, we could go for more harden way for 6-12 hrs, hope fully cheen would stop further aggression in this hard time.

Begs the question why he didn't in his lifetime when China was weaker?

The whole world knows Chyna is coward 😜🤣🤣🤣
No, they are realistic and opportunistic. You don't pick a fight where the outcome is less than optimal.
General Sunderji....one of the best Army General.

Please write your experiences and share with Stratnews Global. So, others are benefitted. Thanx.

Yes.. Dr Chatterjie is right about SSB bit only up to a point. And there's a lot more to Sumdrong Chu than what has been said above. .. The inside stuff..
I would like to tell everyone that our current CDS gen. Bipin rawat's Battalion was also deployed in the Sumdorong Chu conflict in 1987
Simply Thanks Nitin ji! Thanks to let us memories that turning point. One episode required to Nathu la after 1962.
Brilliant channel Nitin, I have been flowing you since my teenage years. Always a delight to watch you speak. Very well researched, good old patriotism and no hubris or jingoism like Republic TV. I greatly admire and respect you for your effort towards authenticity & accuracy, being pro-India while not being hateful against anyone.
Glad you brought the SUmdrong Chu incident back to public memory.
Nitin Ji continue the good work. 👍
How I love this channel, great with morning coffee , the personal side stories are great!
You are right;the Chinese have the classic mindset of a bully.Cower and they are all over you; growl and they shrink.
In this day n age, journalism has become an art, to put a spin on facts this gentleman comes as a breath of fresh air , stating the facts the way it happened , humble demeanor with expert knowledge .
For Indian armed forces the biggest drag has been the political leadership and its diplomats. 1962 included.

Unfortunately we are continously let down by our internal politics
A small correction. Sumdorong Chu is to the NW of Zimithang.
Thanks Nitin ji. Your channel is a treasure of historical events not known by us.
Stay united my fellow Indians, not just China but even the World could not shake India...
We need more quality impartial history lessons. Thanks for the insights

When you are disagreeing with a Gandhi poltician in power (Except Indira) you sure are right...
Even Indira was more of a dictator and she forgot to solve the Kashmir issue by taking back PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
@@nilnull5457 I do wonder how she missed that one...
Considering she did contemplate bombing Pakistani nuclear facility...May be Khalistanis were more bigger national security threat that time(not that they are not now) and they hogged all her focus...
@@nilnull5457 That's because USA pressurized her from doing so. They had a mole in her inner circle, most probably her PA an IAS officer.
