Nehru got conned by Americans and did not allow Indian air force to hit hard -- I doubt any Chinese aircraft would have been in the air to contest the battle. Air power would have turned the tide in 1962. But then, Nehru was a dumb retard forcefully foisted on the nation by Gandhi

Can't blame the American for not using your own air force. Yes, the PRC had no air force in Tibet to speak of then.

In fact, the SYRE lizard army had worse logistics and an even more limited number of troops back then.

To be perfectly honest, the stories of them "human waving" us off the heights made no sense since we had a population just as large and far shorter lines of communications.

We should have "human waved" them off their ill-gotten gains after their unilateral ceasefire if need be. There is no possible answer except for unwarranted quaking underneath our lungis why we did not.

This can still be rectified today while we still own massive advantages along the border.

I am notsure if this in Urban Myth, Given the General Thimayya episode and INC distrust of the Army plus the way Krishna Menon Beauracrats and top leadership in the country were behaving, I think they wanted the Army cut down to size and didn't mind losing land where not a blade of grass grew- low self esteem means no coupe. It just fitted into his requirements. This Chinese bombing of cities CIA was just an excuse.

Boss, even now chinese ability to project airpower in a border skirmish is not too great.
The few airfields they have are all vulnerable and will be taken out very quickly by India's airforce or missile forces, leaving them naked
In the current conflageration, their situation is militarily untenable in the chumbi valley. They are surrounded on three sides by indian/bhutanese forces, with a single road out of the valley to the remaining tibet. How secure is that road going to be hain ji, given that the bhutanese can see most of that road from their vantage points!

This is an interesting story on the impact on the Neelam Valley. Note the impact in the last year in particular.

The below is a story by BBC on the past impact on the Neelam Valley and the resistance to militant activity by their people.

Pakistan calls for DGMO talks

DGMO level talks on behest of Pakistan’s DGMO was held on 17 Jul 17.

During the talks the Pak DGMO raised the issues of targeting of Pak Army troops which resulted in the death of four Pakistani soldiers and one civilian in Athmuqam Sector of Pakistan occupied Kashmir opposite Indian Keren Sector, Kupwara District.

Indian DGMO in response highlighted that all Cease Fire Violations were initiated by Pakistan Army and the Indian Army only responded appropriately to them. Apart from these, firing by Indian troops was initiated against armed intruders when attempting to infiltrate from close proximity of Pak posts along the Line of Control (LC).

DGMO also put across emphatically that the trend of infiltration along the LC continued with active support of Pak forward posts impacting peace and tranquillity along the LC and also the internal security situation. This was evident from continued attempts of sniping and targeting of our troops undertaken through cross border actions duly supported by Pakistani Army troops.

DGMO made it implicit that Indian Army reserved the right to retaliate appropriately to any incident of violation of ceasefire but is sincere in its effort of maintaining peace and tranquillity along the LC provided there was reciprocity.

I read ( dont remember where) that kargil was planned for also easing out pressure on Neelam valley, in addition to support for Siachen. neelam valley was secondary objective.

I have personally talked to persons who fought in Indo China war and they were opinion that there was complete panic in top echelons and retreating behind Ganga was under serious consideration/next step ??

More than the Chinese wanting to *teach India a lesson* it is the bakis who are eagerly waiting for China to give India a *muh tod jawab".

The Chinese are *supposed* to be conducting a live fire drill in the Tibet region. How far from that to firing at Indian positions? If we start relying in the bakis channels we are already doomed.

I recall Maj Gen Bakshi saying when immediately after India gained independence, some english Lord went to meet JN to discuss about military. JN apparently replied: we don't need an army, we only need police to maintain internal L&O. Apparently even the english was dumbstruck at the reply.

BTW, a video of the exercise is in play all across the Indian media. I haven't watched it but I must compliment the Chinese. They surely know how to reach the India masses with their warning ... with the help of Indian media of course.

No I believe you are quoting the thoughts of V K Krishna Menon
who believed the entire army should be turned into a Territorial Army that would turn up on the weekend.
In addition he theorised about afforestation of Rajasthan by the entire army equipped with shovels and spades and naturally tree saplings.

Chinese are heating up the media war, I somehow feel the Chinese are acting up for the Pakis since they can no longer bear the heat. We must strenghten our defensive position with respect to the Chinese and go all ut against Paki defences, since I think they seem to be down.

Apologize in advance to moderators for being off topic, but here is some additional information:

The Kashmir war saved the Indian Army from being scrapped, seems strange? Well, a biography of Major General AA “Jick” Rudra of the Indian Army by Major General DK “Monty” Palit claims so.

According to the book, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru blew his top when Lt General Sir Robert Lockhart, the first commander in chief of India took a strategic plan for a Government directive on defence policy.

“Shortly after independence, General Lockhart as the army chief took a strategic plan to the prime minister, asking for a government directive on the defence policy. He came back to Jick’s office shell-shocked. When asked what happened, he replied, The PM took one look at my paper and blew his top. ‘Rubbish! Total rubbish!’ he shouted. ‘We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is ahimsa (non-violence). We foresee no military threats. Scrap the army! The police are good enough to meet our security needs’,” the Daily Times quotes the book as saying.[‘Nehru wanted army scrapped’]

There are a lot of fake news images circulating among social media groups in Sikkim showing images of what look like IA stallion trucks gutted in an apparently Chinese barrage of fire. Our mir jafars are in full flow.
