  3. Welcome back Shekar ji, my late uncle was a veteran of Bangla war and among many actions he saw, one was an ambush his group laid to trap a platoon size Pakistani soldiers. The ambush was swift with SFF jawans using long Khampa knives instead of guns and one last Pakistani, who was a Pathan asked who are you ? And said you guys are neither Indian nor Gorkha and in a moment of angst, called SFF jawans โ€œ monkey โ€œ and that was the last word uttered. Indira Gandhi did approached HH the Dalai Lama to ask for deployment of SFF jawans and His Holiness assembled top Tibetan leadership of SFF and told them India needs your service and it is also an opportunity to repay some of the debt of gratitude to India, and once His Holiness gave his blessing, there was no looking back for the SFF jawans, otherwise it was a major psychological barrier for them to fight Pakistanis as the very purpose of SFF was geared towards China and people signed up to avenge the lost of their country to China. One anecdote is that Tibetans rely on โ€œ tsampa โ€œ a staple tibetan diet which roasted barley flour as food and they only need a water to make a dough of it and eat straight away, so this quick food kinda gave SFF jawans great mobility as their was no need for field kitchen to set up to feed troops. There was funny stories about how Indian officers hate to eat this at beginning but latter developed a great taste for it. Late uncle used to tell us lots of stories from Bangla war but his greatest regret was not to use his war skills against PLA and I am glad current SFF jawans have realised this dream
