The 1967 Sino-Indian skirmish also known as the Chola incident, was a day-long skirmish between Indian troops and members of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Sikkim. The Indians lost 36 and the result of the incident is based on limited information.[3] It was one skirmish out of many skirmishes between the Chinese army and Indian army.
Location
The skirmish occurred in Sikkim, which later became a state of India in 1975. India was responsible for the defense of Sikkim which was a protectorate at that time. The region is one of high altitudes and thus mountainous maneuvers were crucial in battle.
Background
China has claimed that the McMahon Line created by Britain in NEFA was illegal. Thus they claimed the territory of Sikkim as part of South Tibet, a part of China. [4][failed verification] China eventually recognized Sikkim as an Indian state in 2003, on the condition that India accepted Tibet Autonomous Region as a part of China.[5] This mutual agreement led to a thaw in Sino-Indian relations. [6] New Delhi accepted Tibet as a part of China in 1953 during the government of then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. [7] While Chinese casualties are 1 killed 9 wounded, Indian casualties are 4 killed in action: Joginder Pal Singh and B.K. Deka of the Regiment of Artillery, Satheesh Kumar M. of the Madras Regiment, and Krishna Bahadur Chhetri of the Assam Regiment.
