National Solidarity Day – 20 October

National Solidarity Day – 20 OctoberNational Solidarity Day is observed every year on 20 October in India.

It is the date on which China attacked India in 1962. On this day, we remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to safeguard the country in the Sino-Indo war (China-India war).

On 20 October 1962, the People's liberation army of China attacked India at the Himalayan borders in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh simultaneously.
 	This became a wake-up call for India to establish an efficient armed force for border security.
 	In 1966, a committee consisting of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and other dignitaries decided to dedicate 20 October as National Solidarity Day annually as a reminder of the Indo-China war.

The day is a reminder to all Indians of the significance of unity and integrity in protecting our nation.

Many schools, colleges, NCC meeting organize activities that encourage the patriotism among the youth. Thousands of Indians pledge to preserve the freedom and integrity of India on this day.
