Dipak Bose, either you are half-informed or you are a card carrying commie Chinese stooge like many other of our Bengali brethren. In 1962, USSR simply washed its hands off the matter saying "whereas you (India) are our friend, China is our brother" and refused to interfere on our behalf. On the contrary it was the United States of America which sent plane-loads of arms and ammunition with planes landing every three minutes for ten full days at Calcutta's Dum Dum airport. Krishna Menon and Jawaharlal Nehru who had equipped our soldiers with .303 rifles and canvas shoes sent our brave soldiers as cannon fodder to face Chinese Automatic Kalashnikovs. Still our soldiers marched on and they etched many a brave history on the battlefront. Many years later, for the USSR coming around on our side etc. is another story and it has various other reasons behind it. For those who require facts it is available aplenty. But for those who are purblind even the lines on their palm become invisible.
