Four Lessons from the 1962 Chinese Invasion of India

Last updated on: October 30, 2012 at 1:46 pm By Desh Kapoor

Nice article by Brahma Chellaney on the 1962 attack by China on India. He identifies four major lessons from the Chinese invasion of India, which are worth remembering. These are the things that China has continued to follow even in the case of Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Kashmir, Nepal and Myanmar.

Morality binds and blinds. This is not just... Read more
