...than $1.6 billion in new policies were written during the 1962-63 fiscal year, more than triple the rate just seven years ago, when the Indian government nationalized all of India's life insurance business and formed the Life Insurance Corp. Under dapper, cigar-puffing Chairman B. K. Kaul, a veteran Indian civil servant, insurance policies in force have hit $6 billion and assets $1.5 billion...
...badly shaken. He said: "From time immemorial the Himalayas have provided us with a magnificent frontier. We cannot allow that barrier to be penetrated because it is also the principal barrier to India." But the barrier was being daily penetrated. Ten months ago, Nehru appointed Lieut. General Brij Kaul, 50, to command the NEFA area. Then, without consulting any of his military men, Nehru publicly ordered Kaul to drive out the Chinese invaders of NEFA...
Skyward Zigzag. Before Kaul had a chance to try and "clear out" the Chinese in NEFA, the Chinese struck first on Oct. 20. Some 20,000 burp-gun-toting infantry stormed over Thag La ridge and swept away a 5,000-man Indian brigade strung out along the Kechilang River. The surprise was complete, and dazed survivors of the Chinese attack struggled over the pathless mountains, where hundreds died of exposure.

Following an artillery barrage, 1,000 Indian jawans (G.I.s) drove the Chinese from the lower slopes of a hill near Walong. It was a costly victory, for the Chinese launched a massive counterattack through and around Walong, driving the Indians 80 miles down the Luhit valley. At Se Pass, the Chinese victory was even more spectacular. Having spotted the Indian gun emplacements, the Chinese plastered them with mortar and artillery shells, and then sent forward a Korea-style "human sea" assault. Two Chinese flanking columns...
Freeze & Famine. The military good news was long overdue, though minor in scope, and indicated that General Brij Mohan Kaul, 50, the border commander, was beginning to use to good advantage the U.S. and British automatic weapons and heavy mortars being flown in around the clock. At Kaul's headquarters in Tezpur, India's venerable President Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, 74, visited hospitalized Gurkha, Sikh and Jat soldiers, many of whom had wandered famished and freezing through the mountains for 17 days after the big Chinese breakthrough last month. "Morale is high," Radhakrishnan told newsmen. "All the troops...
