1965 में सगत सिंह की जिद से नाथू-ला पर चीनियों का कब्जा नहीं हो पाया था, जिसके कारण भारतीय सेना को टैक्टिकल एडवांटेज मिली हुई थी। चीनी चाह कर भी आगे नहीं बढ़ सकते थे। चीनियों ने बंदूक की जगह लाउडस्पीकर का सहारा लिया। वे लाउडस्पीकर पर हिंदी और अंग्रेजी में भारतीय सैनिकों को 1962 की हार की याद दिलाते, उनके कपड़ों, कम सुविधाओं, कम वेतन को लेकर ताने मारते। कहते कि देखो, तुम्हारे अफसर तो मजे में एसी ऑफिसों में बैठे रहते हैं, और तुम्हें यहां मरने के लिए भेज दिया गया है। सगत सिंह ने लाउडस्पीकर का जवाब लाउडस्पीकर से दिया। उन्होंने मैंडेरियन चाइनीज में रिकॉर्डेड मैसेज प्रसारित करने शुरू कर दिए। वो भी लगातार, लूप में। बात इतनी ही होती तो कोई दिक्कत नहीं थी। पर चीनी जब-तब दौरे पर निकली छोटी फौजी टुकड़ियों (पेट्रोलिंग पार्टीज) से बदसलूकी करते। एक बार तो छिपकर उन्होंने गोली भी चला दी जिससे 17 असम राइफल्स के दो जवान मारे गए। सीमा निर्धारित तो थी नहीं। चीनियों का कहना था कि ये टुकड़ी चीनी क्षेत्र में घुस आई थी। सगत सिंह ने रोज-रोज की इस चिकचिक से परेशान होकर कोर्प्स कमांडर से बात की...
Here are ten interesting facts about *House of the Dragon*:
1. **Prequel to *Game of Thrones***: *House of the Dragon* is set approximately 200 years before the events of *Game of Thrones* and focuses on the Targaryen civil war known as the **Dance of the Dragons**, which caused a major internal conflict within the Targaryen family.
2. **Based on *Fire & Blood***: The series is adapted from George R.R. Martin’s book *Fire & Blood*, which is a fictional historical account detailing the rise and reign of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros.
3. **Expensive Dragons**: The dragons, a core feature of *House of the Dragon*, were incredibly costly to render. Each dragon has its own unique design and characteristics, and creating them with detailed CGI added significantly to the show's budget.
4. **New Showrunners**: Unlike *Game of Thrones*, which was led by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, *House of the Dragon* is helmed by showrunners **Miguel Sapochnik** and **Ryan Condal**, both of whom have extensive experience in fantasy and action storytelling.
5. **A Family Drama**: While *Game of Thrones* is a sprawling story featuring multiple houses and regions, *House of the Dragon* centers primarily on the Targaryen family and their internal power struggles, making it more of a high-stakes family drama.
6. **Casting the Targaryens**: Casting for the Targaryens was crucial, and actors like **Paddy Considine** (King Viserys I), **Matt Smith** (Prince Daemon Targaryen), and **Emma D’Arcy** (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen) bring key characters from the house’s complex lineage to life.
7. **Massive Success**: The show became an instant hit after its premiere in 2022, breaking viewing records for HBO. Its pilot episode garnered nearly 10 million viewers on the first night, making it one of the most successful debuts in HBO’s history.
8. **New Dragons**: Unlike *Game of Thrones*, where only three dragons were featured, *House of the Dragon* introduces a variety of dragons, each with distinct looks, temperaments, and relationships with their riders, including the powerful Vhagar, one of the oldest and largest dragons.
9. **Intricate Costumes**: The Targaryen wardrobe is carefully designed to reflect their Valyrian roots and royal status. The show's costume department paid special attention to their silver-white hair and bold use of dragon-themed motifs in their armor and clothing.
10. **More Blood and Politics**: While still featuring large-scale battles and dragons, *House of the Dragon* delves deeper into the politics and betrayals within the Targaryen dynasty, showcasing the darker, more tragic elements of their rise and fall, often mirroring real-world medieval power struggles.
