India China War of Ad 1962
By Colonel Yavesh Kushwaha (retd) Read the Original
The reason as to why the report (General Henderson Brooke's on the 1962 conflict) is not being made public is on account of the fear of the DEMOLITION OF ICONONIC and MESSIAH type image of NEHRU and his clan. I have read "INDIA's CHINA WAR" by Maxwell and also "HIMALYAN BLUNDER" by Brig Dalvi & "AN UNTOLD STORY" by disgraced General BM Kaul (a supply branch officer , ASC, who was of the same clan as Nehru). All these books obliquely point a finger at NEHRU & Krishna Menon. The question is WHO STARTED THE WAR? India Or China? No doubts China had disputed the acquisition of NEFA since the SHIMLA agreement. However, in the wake of "HINDI-CHINI BHAI BHAI" diplomacy of Nehru in mid & late 50s and his bonhomie with CHOU-EN-Lai from BANDUNG conference in 1954 had given an exalted image of self to NEHRU–who considered himself more as a WORLD leader and less as an Indian Leader. He ignored nibbling acts by the CHINESE when reported by Indian army. He dismissed these reports. It carried on till he hit a road block on CHINESE admancy to refuse to vacate encroachments beyond Mc Mohan line. he foolishly thundered to his PLIABLE GENERALS–PN THAPAR - BM KAUL & co: "EVICT THE CHINESE". When Thorat & LP sen refused such silly orders–BM KAUL–an ASC Officer–who had never commanded soldiers in combat–was sent TO EVICT THE CHINESE. This is what DALVI writes in his book. And these guys commenced their EVICTION ACT–and LO! CHINA STRUCK in a big way. So, who initiated the war WITHOUT PREPARATION? It was NEHRU and his defence Minister - Krishna Menon. when debacle hit us poor KRISHNA MENON became the scapegoat but NEHRU remained the ICON – he shouldn't have been. And the truth is being hidden by keeping secret Henderson Brooke's report. What HENDERSON BROOKE REPORT is all about is THE ILL PREPAREDNESS OF INDIAN ARMY vis-a-vis CHINESE ARMY and the role of INDIAN POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN PUSHING THE ARMY INTO THIS DEBACLE THROUGH THEIR HAND-PICKED INCOMPETENT GENERALS
