There does not seem to be any reference for "This battle is listed in the 8 stories of collective bravery published by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)." It does not look like UNESCO makes any such list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.123.194.141 (talk) 01:59, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I have deleted the line about Chinese casualities since there is no source cited and there is no way Indian sources are valid consider they didn't control the battle field after the fact and they don't have reliable witness accounts. The Sino-India war was very one-sided because Indian army was ill-trained and ill-organized. Claiming a mythical high Chinese casualties won't change that fact.Centralk 01:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know where if the first part of that quote on the marker comes from a primary text? Some sort of Indian sacred text? --Micah Hainline 03:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The quote was made by a 19th century English Poet.Thomas B. Macaulay.

More clearly than the previous unsigned line: the quote from the marker should be probably cross-referenced with the articles on 19th century poet, historian and politician Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay and his work Horatius from Lays of Ancient Rome - also, as a random fact, referenced in the well-known English children's book Charlotte Sometimes as "Lars Porsena of Clusium".

Title & format

[edit]

The whole article seems to be about a battle rather than just about this pass. Maybe that should be incorporated into the title. Also, because it does not look quite in line with WP's style, I am adding a cleanup tag. LogicalFinance33 (talk) 02:31, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The pass has meaning because it was paid for in blood, like Pork Chop Hill in Korea. The title is good since the location is shown on the map.

Please remove the tag on this article:

story of bravery Uneso

[edit]

this list does not exist, there is no actual source for it, and it's clearly stupid. Why would the UNESO create a list of awesome battles? and somehow, the only examples people (always Indians, incidentally) can come up with are the Thermophiles, Saragarhi and this one. It's insultingly idiotic, how old do you have to be to believe that, 14? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.169.240.28 (talk) 18:12, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Most of this section was copied wholesale from a book. I am fairly sure this constitutes a copyright violation even though the book was published by the Ministry of Defence of the government of India. According to copyright law of India, government works are indeed protected under copyright for 60 years after publication, which would easily cover this, and the edition notice certainly seems to imply that it is copyrighted, but I am not 100% confident that there isn't some kind of exception that might apply here. If anyone is aware of one, please speak up! Also pinging 20.139.66.64 (talk · contribs) who added the material way back in 2016. -Elmer Clark (talk) 22:09, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
