1967, Nathu La: When India Gave China A Bloody Nose

It’s one of the glorious chapters in India’s military history. Five years after suffering a defeat at the hands of China, India hit back hard at the border pass of Nathu La in 1967. It’s a story of courage and determination and what a determined leadership can do. In many ways, it laid the ground for India’s victory in the 1971 war against Pakistan that led to the liberation of Bangladesh. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale narrates what led to the Nathu La clash and how it all panned out.

@Le Chen .

[@umardharini2011]

All these Great moments should be added in School Children's Books ..so that they have the pride of the nation !!

[@jmehta5357]

for every fallen hero we should have a road named after him or her in their memory in the locality they come from. Salutation to all who gave their lives for Mother India.

[@vibhukirti2082]

Lt. General Sagat Singh is our hero. We trust army more than politicians.

[@Amit0828]

His name Sakat singh

[@pborkar82]

Very good of you sir to say that we share border with tibet and not china... We need to get our mainstream media to acknowledge the same... Along with getting out of the mindset that they keep repeating as if feeling inferior that india is not the same as 1962 trying to more remind themselves rather than china

[@pborkar82]

@Sam Ram more than that it's being inscribed in our mentation that's why all including those sitting in highest corner of power think the same and can't get over Chinese mind games...

[@pborkar82]

@Sam Ram lol from where did politics come... U guys are so inclined with party that u forget country is always above any individual... We are only fighting among ourselves never did we have a proper foreign policy appeasement is all that we did.

[@pborkar82]

@Chillax007 very true

[@shankar5677]

An excellent narration Nitin, a short yet filled with enough details to understand what happened in 1967 with China and which lead to 1971 win against Pakistan to set a history which we can be proud off in the coming generations

[@promodebandyopadhyay1686]

Lesson: fire back immediately with more power and overwhelm them. This buys peace for some time. Appeasement is weakness.

[@vijaysharma8382]

The calm way you recite these heroic incidents gives me a rush. Wonderful of you remember this incident on its anniversary.

[@Charanms]

Saw Paltan movie , which is a not so well made movie about an amazing Conflict with Chinese in 1967 in which India came out Victorious and gave the Chinese a scare. Jai Hind.

[@vishnuacharya6352]

Am surprised no TV/print/social media talks of this victory!

[@RajeevRanjan-po7gr]

Don't watch TV.

[@couponscyber]

my eyes getting watery by Proud while listening this, thanks for brought this today. Very proud about the Bravery of our Army.

[@surajdhoke3304]

Army should be given free hand at our borders...very bold move by mr. Sagat Singh....salute to these soldiers...

[@pradeepjjj]

The book 'Watershed 1967' is a must read for anyone who is interested in military affairs.

Jai Hind Nitin !!! the information you share are a class apart. Good work.

[@shrinivasaiyer2914]

Wonderful narration sir. Most of us have very little knowledge of this war. I was too young to know at that time. Thanks.

[@praveenagarkar]

Thanks Nitin sir for the insights !!!

[@mamamiakool]

Now a days, I eagerly wait for Nitin's video to come up. Love to hear his in-depth analysis, strategic points, great technical debates. this channel should have million subscribers at least. Great job team !!

[@pathfinder9547]

Sir you and your team are bringing forward great instances from India's geopolitical past. Always looking forward to all episodes on your channel.

[@vishnuacharya6352]

TKS for sharing!

[@illuminatusdeus3051]

This needs to be more widely discussed and assessed at an International level. I often see 1962 as being the defining moment of positioning China being militarily superior to India in various foreign media outlets, but 1967 at Nathu La is never acknowledged in the International media. I think there is no stigma vis-a-vis China from 1962 anymore, there shouldn't be - because of 1967, India's beaten them once, it's just historical fact. From where I'm standing, India and China have a score of 1-1. Chinese are not strategic thinkers, they are good at imitation (ie imitating the US), but they have no strategic understanding of complex dynamics.

[@illuminatusdeus3051]

My question is to the Chinese is OK, Asia hegemony, good goal, after that what? Can you be Asia's poor man factory and a hegemonic superpower? Do you see the folly?

[@shankar5677]

@Johney Smith Just keep waiting....our future generations are going to talk about how our great courageous Indian Army have crushed Chinese Army and pushed them back (which can happen any moment from now) and reminded them that are no more a global power...

[@AlphaSierra380]

Very good analysis. Keep teaching us about our proud history. 🙏🏻👏

[@bschauhan4652]

Thanks mr. Nitin. It was a very good description of the Nathula

[@balajiHN24]

Like Sugatsing Col. Santosh Babu done same thing with the Chines, from Jun 15 the geo political dynamics has been changed and whole worlds perceptions has been changed . Thanks Nitin ji, you have shown, if we determined, we can do it. JaiHind

[@gopalagrawal3038]

Simply Nitin is not simple....it is class.👍

Maj Gen Sagat Singh 🙌 ..Thank you Sir. 👊🏼 Jai Hind!

[@atchyutuniharshakeyboardis4143]

Excellent thanks for insight

[@satyenderyadav2437]

Sir, It would be better if you mention the Name of Braves who actually fought with Chinese .. Commanding Officer - Col. RAI SINGH YADAV who fought himself with machine gun and also got Mahaveer Chakra... Capt - Dagar and many more... Salute to all of them...

[@lramesh9]

Thank you for refreshing it . I had read this many times but when you narrated it was like Sagath Singh was in front of my eyes. The most unfortunate thing is this bravado is not mentioned in any school books for kids to read and cherish the proud moment

[@KIEVMINSK]

Brilliantly explained

[@SantoshKumar-ke8uy]

We love to hear such stories of our armed forces. Thank you sir.

[@shiladityadas8791]

Thank you Nitinji, for a details picture of 1967, Indian retaliation on Chinese agression in Nathula Pass, We as an Indian, our regard to the Indian Army and Officers, again as a reminder of our troops heroic bravery.

[@sameeratkare6381]

I come here to get the actual fact and events that happened. Thank you nitin and stratnews global.

[@anjanghosh52]

Sir, i like your story of the gallantry of our beloved Indian Army, thanks a lot.

[@gauravpatwardhan6194]

Why is it not a part of common knowledge... As a child of 80s I was always aware of the '62 loss but this victory was never a part of any discussion, nor did it find any mention in any of the popular student reference books. In fact a vast majority are still absolutely unaware that such an event occurred.

[@divyetyagi5957]

Loved it and it is really simple and neat sir.Bina namak mirch ke,only truth.

[@rajiphilips5937]

What a proud story! Great to know about Comdr. Sagat Singh and team.

[@che97971]

[@sandeepahlawat3755]

Good information to know for current generation.

[@CaptAnandKrSingh]

Very good reporting 👍

[@mithunkartha]

Simple sober analysis, thx!

[@Codetutor-DemystifyCoding]

As an Indian, if you are getting bit worried about current Indo-China scenario, then that book about 1962 Nathu la incident is must read for you. Indian army has out grown 1967. 1967 pretty much set the template on how Indians deal with Chinese. Dominate hights, and make them realise the foolhardiness of their designs. This is exactly what's happening now also. Chinese have never been able to push Indians hard after 1967

[@rohitagarwal5293]

Excellent.

[@dkirankrishna]

nicely explained sir in detail.

[@mithileshverma5623]

Longlive Indian army...🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@rajendrababu2448]

A brave incident, beautifully explained. A small suggestion - the current visuals seen of opening page on KZbin is boring. Please make it interesting.

[@siddharthkrishnan7564]

One point to add at 10:12 Indira Gandhi did gave the permission to use artillery immediately. And Sagat, after decimating the Chinese frontliners, wanted to further counterattack the Chinese - Delhi DIDN'T gave the permission & that plan was cancelled.

[@rajarshibose296]

Excellent analysis and article

[@souravpradhan6491]

Great content.

[@jagadishsrinivasan8982]

Very informative sir

[@indd7871]

Very good narration , you should do more such stories from history of warfare not only from India but from all over the world for example world wor 2 etc

[@skb146]

I just love his analysis. He has a huge knowledge in military as well as diplomatic issues. Most important his analysis is genuine.

[@TheTurmericTrail]

History lessons are treasure troves especially for morale and will of our nation.

[@vivm2645]

@Nitin G you seem to be unbiased and keep your videos fresh and free from petty politics. I hope you retain this originality and wish you the very best. Keep up the great work.

[@idbhandari9952]

Please have Patreon or something so that we can support this channel. I've been following you for this channel for 4-5 months and the content is world class. Great work 🥳

[@vinoddora6710]

Hi Nitin, Nathula incident was very well explained. Can you do something similar for Somdorong chu also. Appreciate if the tactical battles be explained with maps/ Google terrain maps. Thanks and please keep up the good work.

[@paramasivammaruthanayagam2440]

From the narration and the details available, we understand, the robustness and quick wits of regional commanders could play a strategic role. Thanks for the details. It also shows the way if there is a proper alignment of senses between the political masters and commanders Indian Army will be able to prove its mettle.

[@abhinav.mishra17]

Salute to brave Sagat Singh! Death to our extremely corrupt politicians!!

[@carryon2197]

So blessed is our nation to have given birth to such a lion. Salute & respects of the whole Nation to him & his men including those who gave their supreme sacrifice. Just wonder how Sagath Singh would have responded to Chinese wagging their tail in ladakh now. More than bloody nose, perhaps blood bath maybe.

[@vishalbhavnaani901]

Yes our soldiers need the free hand and demolish the enemies and not wait for protocols!!!! Arms are to be used period!

[@sukantobiswas5725]

Keep up the good job Nitin ji

[@RKSingh-qs2wy]

A proud moment for all of us.

[@sunderasr]

Lt Gen Sagat Singh , Lt Gen Harbaksh Singh and Lt Gen PS Bhagat, VC were the Great Indian Army Generals, who should have been made Chiefs of Indian army.

[@generalmadakm182]

[@Puneet7373]

Sir can you make a video how India can take steps to improve its R and D innovative programs and where India is lacking and How can we overcome this in few years?

[@raisreview2936]

Hello Sir, please do a program on how we (Army and Airforce) are planning for winters at LAC. Do we need to vacate the hights which we have captured or we making proper arrangements for winters ?

[@HG-os3dy]

Great story, proud to hear it. Only thing that bothered me was that the communication between field commanders and Gen Maneckshaw and top military leadership was so poor.

[@surendrabarsode8959]

Thanks Nitin for this video. Very soon, we shall be talking of Col Babu in a similar manner. Thanks to his and 30 soldier's supreme sacrifices at Galwan, India has finally changed its China Policy for good!! We can now look forward to a robust posturing against China and give them a bloody nose, when they deserve it.

[@PrashantKarade85]

You should write a book on this subject. I bet you have many more inside stories to share.

[@ASHISHDHIMAN1610]

@1:32 why is the boundary of Arunachal dashed, while rest of internal state boundaries are dotted ?

[@lwty]

It intrigues me about the way to estimate the casualty of the other side inflicted by artillery fire.

[@monsterhunt8624]

Radio intercepts and on-ground intelligence

[@WarriorIndian]

Very well articulated.. at times you have to take bold decisions.. we trust PM Modi who takes bold decisions..
