Hi Manoj, Chinese are not saints as you think they are. So as not to repeat them, I request you to read all my letters from this correspondence. I have sited examples of how the chinese say one thing and do exactly opposite. I have also referred to a few of their deeds against India which they performed on purpose. I agree with you that there is an entire different version of the war from the chinese point of view and it is justified to a very limited extent too. But that does not in any way make the chinese any different than the world thinks they are! They occupied Tibet, They claim Formosa as their own land, They claim Arunachal Pradesh as their own, They claim Sikkim, They have already occupied Aksai Chin, They have claimed some land from the Russian side too. They are no good. Their contention that India attacked first is also not true. As per Nehru's 'Forward Policy' we only tried to reply by creating a border post in front of each one they created IN OUR LAND, which they keep claiming as theirs! Irrespective of the fact that westerners make the history suitable to them, there is no doubt that the chinese would not have withdrawn had the U.S. not sent the military aid to India, including an aircraft carrier as per Nehru's request. At that time, Russia did not help India in any way.
