Answers
Answer:
Rezang La was the site of the last stand of the 13 Kumaon, during the Sino-Indian War in 1962. The company was led by Major Shaitan Singh, who won a posthumous Param Vir Chakra for his actions.[1] From the Indian point of view, Rezang La had the drawback that an intervening feature blocked artillery operation, so that the Indian infantry had to do without artillery cover.[1]
In this action on 18 November 1962, 114 Ahir ( Yadav) Indian soldiers out of a total of 120 were killed. A memorial in Rewari, where most of the soldiers came from, mentions that 1,300 Chinese soldiers were killed in the battle.[2] The Indian side was led by Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (IC 7990),A Yadu or Yaduvanshi Bhati clan who was later posthumously awarded Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest gallantry award for conspicuous bravery and self-sacrifice in the face of the enemy.
