Around 1962 India was young and developing very rapidly and was investing a lot in infrastructure assuming that Pakistan is our only enemy and our defense expenditure was very limited.
If they have not imposed that war on us we would have been a close economy if not better than china.
They succeeded in their strategy and we spent a lot in defense for next 10 yrs and lost track of development. Again the development is on boom and they are trying to act smart.. But this could very well be revenge time for us as any war will cost their development more than us.

I have lived amongst the chinese, they can never be trusted in any way. simply saying if i was a something, i would not have bee,n a silent spectator attacking my home. and would give the chinese or any country a kick for a peace talk. The lone leaders who stand out are Vallab Patel, Netaji Bose and Lal Bahadur Shastri.

Mr. Jagtiani, Ur assessment is very correct. Dont worry abt these cheap comments by communists dogs. They r trying to destroy India frm inside. But just treat them as street dogs who keep barking.
