A new book attempts to dispel the notion that India was the provocateur in the 1962 war with China. 'China's India War' by Bertil Lintner says that China had caught India by surprise and it had a simple objective.
India has been pleading for long to bring reforms in institutions like the United Nations, IMF, and World Bank, which it believes are West-dominated and don’t reflect current global realities.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
The Henderson-Brooks Report has still not been released in full by the Indian Government after 55 years.
And regarding war preparations, most nations prepare for war at all times against their perceived enemies, see NATO. Even if China had made preparations in 1959 they didn’t attack India then but only in 1962 after Nehru’s provocative Forward Policy and several ignored warnings from the Chinese including those through diplomatic channels.
The truth is that the Indians gambled thinking the Chinese were in no shape to fight another war after the Korean one and the disaster of their Great Leap Forward. They were proved wrong.
