LOL. Another ignorant victim of suppression of facts by a dictatorial regime.
"Attacked" in normal parlance, not in the words of propaganda, means at the very least a physical assault. Your own records, if you are allowed access, will show that, not once, but on more than one occasion, Indian security personnel - not soldiers, but policemen - were killed by unilateral attacks by Chinese troops. Look up, if you are allowed to, the incidents of October 20, 1959. Also look up the actual record of events in Ladakh and in Arunachal in 1962, where your own records will show that firing was started by the PLA.
More ignorance.
I don't think you are lying deliberately. I do think you are ignorant and are trying to demonstrate your loyalty and patriotism by talking exaggerated nonsense from a personal narrative that you have built up.
These were not the facts.
China had no control over vast parts of Tibet during the Qing regime. The first proper road between Urumqi and Xigatse was built by a Chinese commander starting in 1951, during the first phase of Chinese re-occupation of Tibet. At that time, India had been independent for 4 years, and did not patrol her borders with Tibet, giving China every opportunity to push home her advantage due to the absence of any opposition.
The Government of India NEVER considered that portion to be Tibet, as the last record of governmental activity there was from the year 1842, when Tibet and the Indian principality of Jammu signed the Treaty of Chushul.
If you are doubtful where Chushul is, look it up.
Of course. The PRC came into Tibet in two phases, in 1950-1951, and then in 1959, and it was India that is guilty of unprovoked invasion.
You do write an excellent history. I hope one day you will graduate to writing one such excellent history, but this time based on facts gathered from authentic sources.
Frankly, India was least expecting a war. It may assuage your guilt to claim all these things, but for a nation that has wiped out even knowledge of the incidents on Tien An Men Square, this is not very surprising.
We were the successor state, so we went by what the British had suggested, and what the Tibetan delegate agreed to, not just at that time, but until the Chinese re-occupation. It was never the Tibetans who claimed any land on the borders, always the Chinese.
The People's Republic of China did not exist in 1914, when the treaty was drawn up. So how are you claiming that there was a dispute? Surely on the basis that the PRC is the successor to the KMT republic of China, that was itself the successor to the Qing Empire that existed from 1911 onwards. So why do you object to other states making their point as successor states?
So your understanding is that the British signed a treaty that was illegal, and thereafter gave guarantees and took guarantees from Tsarist Russia not to interfere in these territories?
Please think about what this implies.
India has never claimed anything that she has not controlled. Not physically mounting patrols does not mean abdication of one's rights.
Read for yourself what others have said. Indian sources have NEVER commented on Chinese casualties, to avoid heating up the situation further. These are sources from outside, and they have built up a picture based on Chinese users of social media. Nothing to do with India.
They show what a tissue of lies has been related to the Chinese people by the Chinese government.
What about the other borders? Now that you have managed to bury the records of your armed struggles with the Russians in 1961, and with the Mongolians for greater periods of time, the world has seen how in spite of international multilateral legal rulings, in proceedings where the PRC actively participated, it has flouted every international law, and is now busy bullying all her neighbours with shows of armed force.
What would we expect from one who writes his own version of history?
Note that throughout, unlike you, I have never criticised the Chinese people, only the Chinese government. I know that you are incapable of making these distinctions. Perhaps your seniors may.
Negotiate? Except for Chou En-Lai's offer before 1962, (and a possible revival in 1963, that a reliable Pakistani friend has brought out), when was there any negotiation? Even today, the PRC has never explained the documents based on which it claims its western boundaries with India. Not once.
I believe that the Chinese people are members of a great civilisation and respect them and their culture. Even they, however, have their uncouth elements, as we see from the post we are discussing. Only a fringe lunatic could use terms of the sort that you have used. There is no appetite on the Indian side either to settle anything under pressure of arms or military action, so it works more than one way.
Who am I? The Australians, you know, the ones who are sending their cricket team to Pakistan, are the ones responsible for the report that I have reproduced.
Please look at post #114.
