The 1962 Sino-India war is a painful reminder of how India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru miscalculated Chinese intentions. And while India faced a battering at the hands of the Chinese along the Himalayan border, there were innumerable stories on individual bravery. One such a story is that of Subedar Joginder Singh of the Sikh regiment, who fought near Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh and died in the war. He was awarded the Param Vir Chakra.
