THE BATTLE OF REZANG LA in 1962, an almost forgotten chapter from our History. On my recent trip to Ladakh, we visited the newly renovated Memorial in the Chushul Valley at 15000 Ft. One of the most incredibly built memorials and museums i have seen, The soldiers themselves show you around and take keen interest in explaining us about the war of 1962 where 120 Indian Soldiers fought against almost 3000 Chinese enemies, Kiling 1300 of them. The Indian army was led by Major Shaitan Singh whose soldiers fought till the last man, last round & last breath. It is a must visit if you are visiting the Easter Ladakh region. Although it is open through out the year, Coming here in the harsh Winters is most difficult as temperatures drop to -30. A timely reminder of the amount of sacrifice that goes into protecting the country & how we should be citizen’s worth fighting for ✨🇮🇳
