India’s 1962 loss to China.
Claims and counter claims abound about the above topic. Who was the aggressor? Who was the victim? Who was right? Who was wrong?
The issue is never looked in without nationalistic fervor attached to it.
Found a couple of books that offer to shed some more light on the issue.
Read an excellent review of John P Dalvi’s Himalayan Blunder explaining how India lost the war here. This book was banned immediately after publication, though it is now available in India from at least two publishers. Indus and Lancers.
Neville Maxwell’India’s China War sort of puts forth India as the aggressor. A review of the book can be found here and the book can be read here.
Will update this post as I come across more material.
