The Sino-Indian War
between China and India occurred in October-November
1962. A disputed Himalayan border was the main cause of
the war. There had been a series of violent border
skirmishes between the two countries after the 1959
Tibetan uprising, when India granted asylum to the Dalai
Lama. India initiated a defensive Forward Policy from
1960 to hinder Chinese military patrols and logistics, in
which it placed outposts along the border, including
several north of the McMahon Line, the eastern portion of
the Line of Actual Control proclaimed by Chinese Premier
Zhou Enlai in 1959
