Tarikh Episode 359

Tarikh is a daily program in which we present you with incidents and stories of noteworthy persons of Indian History in Hindi. In this edition of Tarikh, Nikhil talks about the 1961 India-China war and the role of Tawang in the conflict. Tawang is a small town in the state of Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India, and it played a significant role in the war between India and China.
The 1961 India-China war was a brief but intense military conflict between the two Asian giants over their disputed border in the Himalayas. The war began in October of that year, when Chinese forces launched a surprise attack on Indian positions in the eastern sector of the disputed border.
Tawang, located in the western sector of the border, was an important strategic location for India during the war. The town is located near the Tibet-Sikkim-Bhutan tri-junction, and its capture by Chinese forces would have allowed them to cut off India's access to the region.
