A recent Bollywood film has put the spotlight on a largely forgotten battle from the 1962 war between India and China.
Called 120 Bahadur – Hindi for brave hearts – the film tells the story of Indian soldiers who fought valiantly to defend the Rezang La pass in the freezing Himalayan mountains of Ladakh.
The film, with Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh, failed at the box office but succeeded in spotlighting a battle often described as the only silver lining in a war India lost.
"We felt it was very important that this story must he told, we wanted to honour the people who lived the story," dialogue writer Sumit Arora told the BBC. "We have taken some cinematic liberties, but our film stays very true to history."
