	Sino-Indian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sino-Indian War remains one of the largest military conflicts fought at such a high altitude, with combat taking place at over 14,000 feet (4267 meters) [1].
		The Indian government commissioned an investigation, resulting in the Henderson-Brooks Report on the causes of the war and the reasons for defeat.
		Neither the Indian nor the PRC government appear very interested in disturbing the status quo, and the disputed boundary, called by Indians the Line of Actual Control or the McMahon Line, does not currently appear to be a possible major flashpoint.

	rediff.com Special Series: 40 years after the Sino-Indian 1962 war
		It might be hard for Indian opinion to stomach Indian co-operation with the suppression of a non-violent Tibetan resistance movement employing the tactics of Mahatma Gandhi and appealing to the example of Indian federalism and democracy.
		But Indian concessions in the vicinity of Tawang, where the historical evidence of traditional Tibetan administration is strongest, would sandwich Bhutan between Chinese salients in Chumbi and Tawang, greatly complicating the ability of Indian forces to defend the Himalayan kingdom should that need arise.
		Indian preoccupation with South Asian challenges also greatly hinders India's ambition of acting as an Asian or global equal to China; it keeps India chained to the subcontinent.

	Sino-India Relations
		After much protest by the Indian government as to these acts of aggression on Indian territory, the Chinese made it clear that the Sino-India border had never been formally delimited and that it is making claims to certain sectors of the boundary in dispute.
		As former Indian foreign secretary, A.P. Venkateswaran states, “It was a genuine defection…would you keep living in Tibet if you were a religious head?”
		However, the Chinese feel that while India’s response to the Tibetan revolt was a catalyst to the war, the primary and direct cause of the war was the border dispute.

	BEHIND THE SCENES
		The major Indian failure occurred on 8th 9th and 10th September and was entirely because of indecisiveness and lack of resolution in pressing forward on behalf of the Indian 1 Corps/1 Armoured Division/1st Armoured Brigade Commander.
		The Indian commanders beyond unit level, as was the case with Pakistan Army, consisted of men who had experience of infantry biased operations in WW Two and did not understand the real essence of armoured warfare.
		This was the most critical phase of war for the Pakistanis when they were off balance and it was possible for the Indian armour to regain its freedom of manoeuvre by outflanking the Pakistani force opposite them.

	Kaulist Brahmin Imperialism to blame for 1962 War Debacle
		From 1961, the Indian attempt to establish an armed presence in all the territory it claimed and then extrude the Chinese was being exerted by the Army and Beijing was warning that if India did not desist from its expansionist thrust, the Chinese forces would have to hit back.
		When the Army's report into its debacle in the border war was completed in 1963, the Indian government had good reason to keep it Top Secret and give only the vaguest, and largely misleading, indications of its contents.
		India refused any standstill agreement, since it would be an impediment to intended advances and insisted that there was nothing to negotiate, the Sino-Indian borders being already settled on the alignments claimed by India, through blind historical process.

	On Sino-Indian relations
		In the Sino-Indian cold war, Pakistan's survival emerged as a "vital interest" for China.
		The Indian Express reported from Kathmandu: "China's posture doesn't suggest it is as interested in Nepali affairs as India is. It is aloof, physically, psychologically and politically" (December 4, 2001).
		While there were no indications of a major war between China and India in the immediate future, the study said, under certain circumstances India's leaders might decide on war with China.

	Army's failure added to Nehru's blunder - www.phayul.com
		In the late 1950s, the Indian foreign policy establishment was not able to discern the Sino-Soviet split, an event of great significance that impacted on the Sino-Indian stand-off.
		Nehru's Tibet blunder was now compounded by his belief that the Chinese would not react militarily to Indian Army posts that were established under the so-called forward policy.
		War eventually came when Brigadier John Dalvi was asked to use his 7 Brigade to evict Chinese forces from their militarily dominant positions on Thagla ridge.

	India-China war 'accidental:' Galbraith
		Aware I was studying the events related to the Sino-Indian war, he said it was an accidental conflict over a totally useless piece of land and pleaded I should not unnecessarily highlight the China-India differences.
		Chance also played its role, as he candidly admitted, since the Sino-Indian border war of 1962 coincided with the far graver Cuban missile crisis, and Kennedy was quite content to leave that war in his ambassador's competent hands.
		Turning to the issues of war and peace, Professor Galbraith felt many conflicts were essentially a "recreational" activity of the professional military, bored by a long peace.

		During the Second World War, various ‘national’ armies drawn from Indian prisoners-of-war (POWs) and civilians were formed with the express purpose of combating the Raj.
		This belief also quieted post-war qualms about what to do with those who had joined the various Indian national armies.
		More importantly, those Indian soldiers and commissioned officers on active duty remained loyal to the Raj, believing their wartime allegiance and efforts would be rewarded by independence.

		The 1962 Sino- Indian war signalled the failure of India’s attempts to rely on diplomacy and moralistic appeals to the world at large as substitutes for economic and military resources necessary for a great power role.
		According to Indian analysts like Misra, never before in the history of the two countries an agreement of such far-reaching consequences had been concluded.5 Despite this, the conflictual relationship persists and continues to be a major influence in shaping intra-regional relations.
		In the Indian perception being a dominant state in an area does not mean that it actually controls the policies of the neighbouring countries.

		Explaining India's reluctance to raise the P word with China, a retired Indian diplomat points out that the Sino-Indian war of 1962 - when China inflicted a humiliating defeat on India - has cast a long shadow over India's diplomacy with China.
		Drawing attention to "this curious Indian silence on Sino-Pak strategic collaboration", Raja Mohan observes that "while the subject of Pakistan pops up in the very first five minutes of any official conversation between India and the US, it hangs like Banquo's ghost over the meetings between Indian and Chinese leaders".
		"It was the provision of Chinese nuclear and missile shield to Pakistan during the late 1980s and early 1990s [at the height of India-China rapprochement] that emboldened Islamabad to wage a 'proxy war' in Kashmir without fear of Indian retaliation," points out Malik.

		After another Indian rebuttal in 1980, China changed tack and began to stress that the "eastern sector is the biggest dispute", culminating in armed clashes at Sumdurong Chu in 1987 (the nearest the two countries have come to war since 1967).
		In the 1971 war, China's response was feebler even though it protested "gross Indian interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan".
		China's punitive war of 1962 was interpreted by many Indian commentators as an action to diminish India's influence in the developing world and boost Afro-Asianism.

		The most important result of this Sino Vietnam War was to be the victory of the Deng faction and the onset of the four modernisations.
		It is towards this end that the Sino-Vietnam War of Feb-Mar 1979 and the Vietnamese campaign in Cambodia that preceded it in Jan 79 form very useful historical case studies/conflict models from which we could extrapolate some very pertinent lessons in the Indo-Pak context.
		The Sino-Vietnam War of 1979 (that preceded the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) was a classic limited war - limited in aim and scope and also restricted in space and time.

		However, if the situation in Tibet deteriorates in the future threatening the Chinese position, the presence and activities of the Dalai Lama and his followers in Indian territory could again become a major issue of contention, leading to the Chinese re-kindling the border to exercise pressure on India.
