Did Indian gain independence from the British by fightin a war, Any country can hold their people to ransom in an Iron curtain but the question is for how long???Time will come when even the Chinese will get a taste of their own medicine, even then question is how long people have to wait to see that happenin.China mite have attacked India in '62 and defeated India (If Nehru and Menon had heard their army general's plan then that also wouldn't have ahappened)but one fact is A China which cant retrieve Taiwan a small strait is layin claims to Arunachal Pradesh, do you think the present Indian generation of youngsters will be that magnanimous to the Chinese in case they decide to attack India.As Michael Krepon of Henry L. Stimson Center wrote, to attack Taiwan Chinese soldiers will have to swim the Taiwan straits.They mite encircle India by dolin out arms and ammunitions to India's neighbors - reality is India has withstood aggression for years so newer aggression will be faced by Indians bravely and the day wont be far when even Tibet gains freedom. It is like sayin in 1900 India will never gain independence from the British but in 47 years time everythin changed.
