As the nation observed the sixth decade of the National Solidarity Day on October 20 to honour the valour, bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers during the Sino-Indian war, the country still continues to be in the throes of war with China. The day, October 20, 1962, saw the launch of a cowardly attack by Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers on India’s northeastern frontiers with China, mostly along the McMahon Line, which led to the death of over 3,000 Indian soldiers.
