    Trust us when we say that conspiracy theorists in India are on a completely different level altogether. Not only do they believe that India had visitors from outer space about 10,000 years ago, but they also believe that we have our very own Area 51. We are of course talking about Kongka La Pass.

    For people who have been living under a rock all this while, Area 51 is a highly secretive Air Force base near Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Rumours and several conspiracy theorists will have you believe that the US government has a secret research base in Area 51, that harbours aliens and extracts technology from their knowledge. Think Men In Black, but in real life.

    Well, our very own desi conspiracy theorists have their own Area 51 in the mountains of Himalaya, near Ladakh, called the Kongka La Pass? What do they say about Kongka Valley and the area? Well, read on.

    The area around the pass is a little tricky. The area comes under Ladakh, but the Chinese claim it as their own (surprise, surprise). China considers the Kongka La Pass as its Tibetan boundary with India, whereas India, considers the Lanak Pass which is further to the east, as its boundary. As a consequence, the Kongka La Pass is sort of a No Man’s Land, although officially, it isn’t recognised as one.

    In 1956, a group of 10 Indian policemen, led by an officer by the name of Karam Singh, were tasked to set up patrol posts in the area. Two men from the party were detained by the Chinese army. A patrol of 20 soldiers was sent in search of these two men. These 20 men encountered a group of Chinese soldiers. A fierce firefight ensued, in which we lost 9 men, and one died later due to the injuries. Some were captured and tortured. Eventually, the Kongka La Pass became an important theatre of war in the Indo-Sino war of 1962.
    Some ghost hunters claim that the area is haunted by the souls of all those fallen soldiers. The locals claim that it is these soldiers that still protect the area, and deter away intruders from the Chinese side.
    2. Great Place To Visit...If You Can Manage © Wiki Commons
    Whether you believe in ghosts & aliens, or not, you have to agree that the Kongka La Pass is a very scenic place. Documentary filmmakers, scientists and researchers, mainly physicists, who have visited the area, say that no matter what time of the year you visit the place, it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. But here’s the thing - civilians are not allowed to visit the area, although, it is only unofficially considered to be a no man’s land by the armies, and the locals.

    This is what certainly rings the bell of every conspiracy theorist - the area truly is a hotbed for some highly unusual activities. Very often there will be sightings of UFOs and bizarrely shaped bright lights, with no plausible explanation. Also, several pilots have claimed that they avoid the area when they can, mainly because their guidance and navigation equipment start glitching out. Nothing gets juicier than this for conspiracy theorists, who often scour through satellite images from Google Earth to support their findings.

    4. Reports Of Alien Sightings © Reddit/r/aliensinindia
    Several locals and enlisted men have reported that they have seen flying saucers and other unidentified flying objects in the area, quite regularly. Several eagle-eyed conspiracy theorists have presented photos taken using Google Earth to show unidentified caves which appear and disappear sporadically, giving rise to the claims the mountain harbours a secret alien base.

    5. From The Chinese Side As Well... © Reuters
    The Chinese government has tried to explain these happenings, as the result of some secret experiments that the Indian military is carrying out. This of course was denied by the Indian forces, but more interestingly, even the Chinese soldiers stationed near the pass. Furthermore, even Chinese conspiracy hunters claim that the Chinese government has a rather shady stand when they speak of the area.

    In what looks like a ‘desi’ Suits series, a lady named Sessy Xavier from Kerala has left everyone shook after she faked her way up and practiced as a lawyer for almost two years before being busted. Sessy Xavier was practicing as an advocate in Alappuzha (Aleppey) in Kerala for over two years, and was not even a qualified LLB degree holder. She joined as a junior advocate and was working with a law firm, and even applied for membership to the Allepey Bar council, which was eventually given!

    She appeared and fought for a lot of cases in the court, and was in fact even appointed as an advocate commissioner in some cases. She contested in the Bar Council elections and was appointed as a librarian as well. The twist in the tale began here.

    Just like a scene straight out of a con movie, Sessy stole some important documents and files belonging to the council. It was not until an anonymous letter busted her lie that the matter came into the eyes of the authorities.
    If you’re wondering how and why she was faking it, well she was once a law student but couldn’t finish her degree due to lack of attendance. She enjoyed a good reputation in the lawyer circle and was well versed with the profession; hence nobody even imagined that she was not a lawyer.

    While this sounds and looks pretty hilarious, it is also sad in equal parts because this poses an alarming danger of theft of identity. If people like Sessy continue duping people, one can land in major trouble some day. It is not only a concern for someone faking a law degree, imagine people faking a doctor’s degree and putting lives at risk. One needs to be super careful but the irony here is that the legal authorities need to fix their legal loopholes.
