Don’t you need to raise your arm at least 45 degrees for it to be a Sieg Heil salute? Maybe their arms are too weak and can’t do a real one?

Actually, wouldn't be surprised. The average Indian male is weaker than the average Icelandic female.

The Olympics link is pretty funny too, excluding the reference to Indian physical weakness. It shows where the handful of Indian Olympic medalists come from.

From what I have heard, the term Gogra post is somewhat misleading. India does have a camp there, but the Gogra bulge refers to the campground along the area of the CK confluence where traders between India, China, and Central Asia would stay during the silk road era. So the entire CK confluence is reffered to as Gogr a or Gogr a bulge. The camp India has there is also considered Gogr a post, but it is not a permanent post like Hot Springs.

Gogra isn't the only example of this, many of India's forward camps and bases near the LAC were former Silk Road camping spots used by traders, such as burtse, track junction, and DBO. The DSDBO and Sasser La roads are also based on old caravan routes.
