Why Did India Lose 1962 War With China?

[Dungeness]

It's not Nehru himself, it is the ultra-nationalistic sentiment of entire India that earned the humiliation for India. To some degree, Nehru himself was hijacked by Indian congress and masses. Just looking at the fact many Indians are still peddling the BS of Indian being outnumbered 10,000:80,000, you know they have not changed much since 1962. They are still the same excuse finding, finger pointing cocky bunch.

India has actually launched many wars, but in 1962, they had mismatched their opponents. There is no need to find the reason again, that is the past. The Chinese media have rarely mentioned this matter

This is 2018. 1962 is far behind. INDIA lost due her shortsighted policy during Nehru era, We learnt the lesson and that’s that.

China was a veteran of WW2, battle-hardened and in a better position to project power near its borders where desired.

India was not prepared for a high-intensity engagement back then, shortsightedness of Nehru notwithstanding.
