Nitin earlier made a video of the Chinese 'Creeping Forward Tactic'
During the 50s the Chinese built that road to connect Xianjiang to Tibet. I recall a TIME magazine article from 1953 wondering why Nehru wasn't doing anything.
As the 50s wore on they slowly started grabbing territory and the yellow line is how things stood by Nov 1959
They kept going further west and by Sept 1962 the red line is where they reached
During this period we still had ITBP patrols reaching out to posts marked in green but you can see the shaded area they grabbed between '59 & '62. They stop our patrols from completing their task
From Sept to Oct '62 they push up to the green line. That's when the war begins.
