The 1967 Sino-Indian skirmish also known as the Chola incident, was a day-long skirmish between Indian troops and members of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The skirmish occurred on 1 October 1967 at the disputed border between China and the Kingdom of Sikkim, which was at the time an Indian protectorate (Sikkim later became an Indian state in 1975). The Indians lost 36 and the result of the incident is based on limited information.
