is that the same army which we conquered in 1962?

No this is Indian army of 1967 when your PLA went crying to Mao.

On 11 September 1967, troops of the Indian Army's 18th Rajput Regiment were protecting an Engineering Company that was fencing the North Shoulder of Nathula, when Chinese troops opened fire on them. This escalated over the next five days to an exchange of heavy artillery and mortar fire between the Indians and the Chinese. 62 Indian soldiers, from the 18th Rajput, the 2nd Grenadiers and the Artillery regiments were killed.[7] Major Harbhajan Singh of the Rajput Regiment was awarded a MVC (posthumous) and Naib Subedar Pandey a VrC (posthumous) for their gallant actions.[8][9][10][11] The extent of Chinese casualties in this incident is not officially known, but it is believed that Chinese casualties were more then twice of the Indians[12] and some sources say they were about 200.[13]

In the second, on 1 October 1967, a group of Indian Gurkha Rifles soldiers (from the 7th Battalion of the 11th Regiment) noticed Chinese troops surrounding a sentry post near a boulder at the Chola outpost in Sikkim. After a heated argument over the control of the boulder, a Chinese soldier bayoneted a Gurkha rifleman, triggering the start of a close-quarters knife and fire-fight, which then escalted to a mortar and HMG duel.[14] The Chinese troops signaled a ceasefire after three hours of fighting, but later scaled Point 15450 to establish themselves there.[14] The Gurkhas outflanked them the next day to regain Point 15450 and the Chinese retreated across the LAC.[14] 21 Indian soldiers were killed in this action.[7] The Indian government awarded Vir Chakras to Rifleman Limbu (posthumous) and battalion commander Major K.B. Joshi for their gallant actions. The extent of Chinese casualties in this skirmish is also not known.

Bastille Day was a proud moment for the Maratha Light Infantry - they are the ones who fought the Germans in France, and hence were invited.

The French people loved them.

LCA is a bit like the Swedish JAS-39, and the aerodynamic layout was pretty good! India's scientific and technological research deserves our respect!
