Description

Major Shaitan Singh 13 Kumaon The battle of Rezang La, Ladakh, will long be remembered in the annals of military history because of the incredible heroism displayed by over a hundred Indian soldiers led by Major Shaitan Singh against overwhelming hordes of Chinese. While the Chinese were equipped with modern weapons, Indian troops were armed with the .303 single-action Lee Enfield rifle which was an obsolete and outmoded weapon from the Second World War. Notwithstanding the disadvantages of climate, terrain, and weapons, Major Shaitan Singh and C' Company went all out to defend Rezang La on 18 November 1962. Major Shaitan Singh's leadership and courage inspired and motivated his men to face the enemy.A ceasefire to the Sino-Indian war was declared by the Chinese Army after this battle.
