Casualties and losses
Indian claim:
88 killed
163 wounded in Cho La and the Nathu La incidents combined[4]
340 killed
450 wounded in Cho La and Nathu La incidents combined[4]

The Nathu La and Cho La incidents, (11–14 September 1967 for Nathu La; 1–10 October 1967 for Cho La) were a series of military clashes between India and China in the Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim, then an Indian protectorate.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army infiltrated parts of Sikkim[5] on 1 October 1967, but was repulsed by the Indian Army by 10 October. During the Cho La and Nathu La incidents, Indian losses were 88 killed in action and 163 wounded,[4][6] while Chinese casualties were estimated to be 340 killed in action and 450 wounded.[7][4]

The end of the conflicts saw a Chinese military withdrawal from Sikkim after being defeated by Indian forces.[1][8][9]

Sikkim became an Indian state in 1975,[5] which was not recognised by China. In 2003, China recognised Sikkim as an Indian state, on condition that India accept that the Tibet Autonomous Region was a part of China, even though India had already done so back in 1953.[10][11][12][13] This mutual agreement led to a thaw in Sino-Indian relations.[14]
