My question was about your stating that Rawat served in the east. You still haven't answered.
As for tanks, your inflated self-esteem prevents you from having seen the numerous references to the Chinese deployment of light tanks in east Ladakh. Since, again, you have come into this with no obvious information or knowledge about the Indian Army that you are so keen should not be embarrassed, you do not seem to know that the PLA deployed tanks earlier as well, in battle.
Finally, your basic point about seniority trumping supersession is disproved by these quotations that you have dug up (I don't go to the NDTV.com web-site, and have no idea how you concluded that it is my favourite).
Now - will you please take your half-baked information and your over-baked ego and go back to Jhandewalan Extension and report failure?
