It is now close on 58 years since the 1962 Sino-Indian border conflict happened. Post that the debacle was investigated by Lt Gen Henderson Brooks and Brig Premindra Bhagat. That report often referred to as the HBB report is classified “TOP SECRET” and has never been de-classified. The article above refers to that report and asks for it to be de-classified and put on the public domain. This actually a laughable demand. “On 17 March 2014, Maxwell posted Volume 1 of the two-volume report on his website.[2] Maxwell had acquired a copy of the report and wrote his book India’s China War based on it.[3] In an interview, Maxwell said he had never seen Volume 2 but understood it to be “mainly memos, written statements and other documents on which the authors based the report”.[4]”
Since Volume 1 of the report is already in the public domain, it is accessible to all and sundry. Whether it has been posted there by the Government of India or Neville Maxwell is an academic issue. Volume 2 comprises only memos to which the reference has been made and discussed in Volume 1.
The opening sentence of the report clearly states that the COAS ordered the report on 14 December 1962. The “Terms of Reference” were signed by the COAS. hence the entire report can only investigate the issues of omission OR commission of the Indian Army. The issue of why we went to war with China OR why the Chinese thrust the war upon us will never be either investigated or discussed in the report as it was clearly beyond its terms of reference.
Armies, of democratic countries, do not go to war because the Generals want to wage war. That is wholly and solely a political decision. That has NEVER been investigated OR ever will be.
For those who WANT to read that report, please go to the internet and download the 126-page document and study it.
These so called veterans doesn’t know the reality just acting like political puppets.
As a veteran iam ashamed by their actions.
Can’t name them but two in the list have history.
Doval,RAW and MI are main culprits as they failed to read Chinese intent,next is chain of Command from Naravane to GOC 3Div,all are responsible. Modi and Raj-Not Singh are responsible at political level as they failed to lay down clear rules of engagement
Can any of these veterans confirm that all defense deals during their tenures were clean ? Has anyone of them or all of them collectively ever written to the government about the defense scandals that were taking place then.
Looks like it is just hate Modi and enjoy the orop+ cheaqt canteen stuff.
yeah some heads of Airforce, Navy playing politics and asking silly questions. What do they know about ground reality. What they know about counter operations. Only PM can do politics and act innocent… Totally with you my Dear Half Pant.
