Along with 28 men, he set up a line of defence at the northern bank of Pangong Lake in Ladakh.In the early hours of 20th October, their post was attacked by a barrage of artillery and mortar fire, followed by close to six hundred Chinese soldiers surrounding them.In the face of heavy shelling, the enemy forces so close by, and a huge attack from all sides, the Gorkha war cry united the men, “Jai Maha Kali, Ayo Gorkhali”Under Major Thapa’s gallant command, the outnumbered men of 1\/8 Gorkha Rifles repulsed multiple attacks, inflicting heavy casualties on the Chinese. They fought till the last bullet, using their khukris and bare hands to kill the enemy and hold their post for as long as possible.Narrated by Major Thapa’s daughter, The Warrior Gorkha is the true account of his courage, conspicuous fighting qualities and leadership that are held in the highest regard. Read this inspiring account of a true leader who beat even death to save his nation and fulfil his promises.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madhulika Thapa Monga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage No.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublishing Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45663\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegal Disclaimer: \u003c\/strong\u003e Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
