I’d love to see the Sikhs and Gurkhas kick some Chicom butt.

Yes they did lose in 62 but that was due to the political leadership adoring China and not having much of a military. Soldiers were sent to the heights in summer clothing and tennis shoes without acclimatisation. The Air Force, which could have turned the tide was not used at all except some supply drops.

Please read about the 1967 and 1987 armed clashes where an aggressive leadership gave China a headache.
