BBC Chinese website reported on January 9th: "A recent Bollywood movie focuses on a nearly forgotten battle in the 1962 India-China war."
[Witty] Comment briefly: For some young people in China, the 1962 Sino-Indian Border Self-Defense Counterattack War may be a vague historical footnote, but in India it is an obsession deeply embedded in national memory — Bollywood has produced dozens of related films, from early ones like "Justice" to recent ones like "72 Hours," all using exaggerated plots of "one fighting a hundred" and demonized oppositions to reframe defeat as cinematic victory. These works filled with nationalist sentiment are essentially no different from "heroic dramas" in various countries: they use fictional heroism to compensate for real-life disappointments, and use dramatized conflicts to avoid historical truth.
