The nation as a whole can draw a lot of inspiration from the Rezang La struggle. As a member of the 114 Infantry Brigade, the 13 KUMAON was sent to Magar Hill and Rezang La in the Chushul Sector of Eastern Ladakh in November 1962. Despite overwhelming odds and being significantly outnumbered, the brave men of the 'C' Company, 13 KUMAON, successfully repelled seven Chinese assaults. In the high Himalayas of Ladakh on November 18, 1962, 13 Kumaon's C Company staged a valiant last stand against the Chinese forces, repelling a very serious threat and opening a great new chapter in India's military history.
