In the embedded video are actual battle scenes from the China-Indian conflict of 1962. Since the Chinese shot this footage, it is obvious that the dialogue has been propagandized.
India’s Nehru government repeatedly rejected China’s requests to negotiate the border dispute over the McMahon Line, which British Explorer McMahon drew on a map during the 19th century.
Instead, the Indian army built bases and outposts in the disputed area.
Chinese troops then strengthened their defenses in the disputed area.
India sent patrols into territory occupied by Chinese troops and the Indian troops were captured.
On June 4, 1962, Indian troops set up outposts deep in the disputed territory.
On September 8, 1962, Chinese troops surrounded the Indian troops to stop further advances.
In the middle of September, Chinese intelligence reported that the Indian army would soon attack.
India’s Seventh Brigade was deployed to the area to launch Operation Leghorn.
On October 9, 1962, he Indian troops crossed the river that divided the two armies and attacked Chinese positions.
The resulting battle caused the Indian Seventh Brigade to collapse and a large number of Indian troops surrendered.
Chinese troops crossed the river and pushed south, but the Indian troops retreated faster.
Heavy Chinese artillery bombed Indian troop positions. Within days, there were many dead and wounded Indian troops.
