China retreated to prewar position in November 1962 vacating every inch of NEFA which they still claim. China never claimed victory nor even acknowledges any war ever taking place. Nehru government never surrendered to China nor accepted any terms (accept China’s control of Arunachal Pradesh aka NEFA) set by China. Nehru’s India continued to regroup and challenge until China retreated, although the military failed. When enemy retreats, any other nation claims victory. Only Indians can be so oblivious to warfare that insist on being defeated and humiliated. JP Dalvi very likely suffered from Stockholm Syndrome. Indians are still trapped in the false narratives set by likes of Dalvi.
A person like Krishna Menon who regularly insulted his army generals who were pleading for funds for improving India’s border infrastructure with China, did not deserve to be in any responsible post, let alone defence minister of a country. Calling him as “a brilliant misunderstood person” is nothing short of being a sycophant!!
