...possible after defeating Ladakhi franchisee of Chinese then gradually, Zorawar Singh conquered Tibet and Mansarovar, then worshipped Bhagavān Mahadev by installing a Shiv Linga there.
The conqueror of forts, Tibetans, Baltees and Qing Empire, the General of Dogra kingdom - Skardu town was situated at 2,270 metres above the sea. Aurangzeb once tried to occupy fort but failed.General Zorawar Singh occupied this insurmountable fort and annexed areas of Baltistan.
After conquering Tibet he moved to mainland China but due to lack of supply, unprecedented weather, he met same fate as Napoleon. His soldiers starved, fell ill. Then came ruthless gigantic mainstream Chinese Army. But the Dogras were ferocious- Shaivite armies have always been.
With the of slogans of Hara Hara Mahadeva and Shiv-Shakti they fought ferociously against their enemies.Even when highly outnumbered, the Dogras inflicted unimaginable casualties against the Chinese. When out of ammo, even hand to hand combat followed.

Hence the saga of military adventures of ‘Napoleon of the East’ ended on the 12th December 1841. Next day the Dogra soldiers avenged the death of their commander by executing the enemy commander.
Basti Ram Mehta, the first Commanding Officer of Shivji Fateh, the unit he led in action in Tibet, took over the command. If General Zorawar Singh hadn’t done what he did, Ladakh would have been in China and Chinese would have been lurching around Kishtwar.
Chinese realized it will be pure suicide to attack the Dogra Land- because if Dogras can damage this much in hostile territory, what they can do in their own land is a pure nightmare. Chinese never dared to lead any military expedition into country ruled by Dogras.
The Rajputs of Jammu and Himachal had traditionally been excellent mountain fighters.
Zorawar Singh Chandel - The Liberator of Kailash. He proved himself a true soldier in the endurances of the extraordinary hardships and in setting an example of personal courage.
