Indo-Chinese War

Indo-Chinese War ( 20 October – 22 November 1962 )
A border skirmish between India and China in the Himalayan region, which China claimed had been wrongly given to India by the McMahon Line decision in 1914 . Chinese forces began an offensive across the McMahon Line into India. Indian forces retreated and Assam appeared to be at the mercy of China, when the latter announced a ceasefire and withdrew to the Tibetan side of the Line, while retaining parts of Ladakh in Kashmir. Some of the border areas are still disputed.
