Capt Rangnamei was just 'Mentioned in Despatches'. No awards given at that time. That means his superiors just nominated him for an award but he hadn't got it then. But because he was MiD, he can now receive an award after China shamed him to the world. This makes it all even more pathetic.Nice try but epic fail. Captain Rangamei was awarded with a Gallantry medal long before China released the video.
Here is the announcement from 25th Jan where he was listed among gallantry medal reciepients.
If you wanna be the epic fail. You have just done it yet again. Congratulations!
Anyway this doesn't take away my point that India rewards failure. They give an award to soldier who was shamed by China. "Good job boy for ambushing a PLA negotiation party, lose a brawl, leaving your mates behind, running away from battle, and maybe getting caught by the PLA. Here is your award".
Since you're an epic fail. You are earning your rupees from India. Well done!
