'Indian Army Lt. punches Chinese PLA major in nose after Chinese troops patrol Indian territory
More on this story from a few days ago.
A young Indian Army lieutenant punched a Chinese PLA major on his nose and sent blood oozing from his nose.

The incident happened at Muguthang which is in the Indian state of Sikkim.

The Indian officer's infantry unit had stopped the intruding Chinese PLA and were furious at the Chinese commissar for shouting, "This (Sikkim) is not your land, this is not Indian territory... so just go back.”

Brought up in a military family – his grandfather a veteran of the Royal and then Indian Air Force and his father a colonel in the Indian Army – the officer threw a sold punch.

The Chinese major collapsed with a thud and his name tag came loose.

This nearly provoked an escalation.

This comes at a time when India is chalking out a strategy to shore up its sire power as it faces an ever-growing Chinese Navy.

One of the important parts of the strategy is 6 missile boats which will be manufactured under the ‘Make in India’ program.

#3 "Nuts", yes indeed. Good to see someone stand up to bully boys. I have always said China is a bad neighbor.

Good.

"It's a Muguthang, Chinaman. You wouldn't understand."
