I don't agree.......
India never expected that China could attack........ Our eastern border was not secured enough....China was not a strong army that time...but we were not ready for them and that is why China got the edge...........For Pakistan we always knew they could attack any time so we were strong on western border...There was no effect of western border of 1962.....But 1962 war ensure India to secure all the border line....
Bold part is not correct in totality...We lost the skirmish prior to 65 in Sir-Creek...and they nearly pushed us out in J&K...However sanity prevailed in our ranks and we simply attacked Lahore...Had Pakistani's been better prepared on IB side their plan might have worked....Anyhow if's/but's doesn't matter...65 was a stalemate(though in my eyes we won) and thereafter there was no looking back...67/87 skirmish with China, 71, Siachen, Kargil with Pak are proofs to it...
