The Sino-Indian War: Why India Turned On China In The 1960s - Mao's Cold War |

At the height of the Cold War, China's ally India would turn from friend to foe as the issue of Tibetan independence rips the Asian brotherhood apart.

It would have been amazing to hear the Indian soldiers´ perspective. Is there a sequel about the China - USSR clashes? Seeing this for the first time now…

I have mutual respect for those Soldiers in terms of how they felt. You go into battle as your country says. You win. And then the politicians who were safely in their beds every night “lose the war”. I can understand their feelings in terms of wanting to keep taking action…

Interesting how yet another incident that is seemingly “lost save for the history books” reflects the adage of “If you fail to earn your history, you will be doomed to repeat it” or words to that effect…

Fascinating history.
