After capturing Tibet through deceit in 1950, Mao said- this is the palm and we will go after the five fingers. The first finger is Ladakh. The other four are Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh
China could not have captured Tibet without support from India. The entire world strongly reacted against the Chinese action in 1950. Tibet is a land locked country that has to depend on either India or China. Mao baited Tibet with more and more help. Nehru ignored the concerns raised by Tibet.
After independence, Nehru worked as PR manager for the CCP, justifying China within India as well as in international stages. Both India and China joined together in destroying Tibet. India was the first non communist country to recognize CCP. Before 1950, parts of Tibetan administration like postal services were taken care by India. With the Panchasheel agreement, Nehru surrendered India's extra-territorial rights in Tibet to occupier China. In 2003, Vajpayee formally recognized Tibet as part of China. In 2018, Modi ended all official contact with Dalai Lama and Tibet's government-in-exile
The books by Brig John Parashram Dalvi, Swedish Journalist Bertil Lintner and Shiv Kunal Verma has exposed some of the conspiracies behind the Chinese military show off in 1962.
Dalvi blames three men responsible for India's defeat - Nehru, Krishna Menon, and General Brij Mohan Kaul. The main person indicted by the Henderson-Brooks Inquiry Commission is B.M. Kaul. Knowing full well that Kaul is a schemer, Nehru appointed him as Corps Commander.
Nehru’s Private Secretary M.O. Mathai, typed a note in 1953 for Nehru’s attention only, nine years before Kaul’s infamous appointment as Corps Commander. Mathai writes: Past experience in Washington and Kashmir shows that Kaul is one of the most intriguing officers in the Indian Army. He has no good word for anyone except himself. Just as Gopi Handoo he talks far too much.
In May 1961, Nehru & Menon had ignored Thimmayya’s recommendations to make General Thorat the army chief, preferring to appoint Pran Nath Thapar. General Thimmayya is regarded as the savior of Kashmir. Thorat was known as a fighting general in the mould of Patton and Rommel. Thapar was known to be politically well-connected, related to Nehru by marriage.
Kaul got himself admitted to a hospital in Delhi when the Chinese attacked in 1962. Thapar resigned from the army in November 1962
The basis for the 1962 war was much more than the border dispute. Mao started the disastrous Great Leap Forward in 1958. This had created famine and unrest throughout China including Tibet. China was going through immense internal turmoil and Mao was desperate to reassert his power over CCP and PLA. Finding an outside enemy against which everyone could unite was his best option.
The border dispute with India and granting asylum to the Dalai Lama can be cited as reasons. Mao badly needed some kind of excuse before international community for a military conflict. Nehru & Menon offered a solution that was good enough for Chinese provocation. That was the Forward Policy. It was conceived at a meeting on 2nd November 1961. Chaired by Nehru, the meeting was attended by Krishna Menon, foreign secretary MJ Desai, Army Chief Thapar and IB director BN Mullick.
The so called Forward Policy exist only in paper. The Army was not equipped to face the fully prepared PLA. China had started the war preparations as early as 1959. The 1962 conflict was never formally declared by Delhi. The ill equipped soldiers fought the war taking help from the people of North East.
It was mission accomplished for China, not in terms of settling border dispute or gaining land area. China regained its face. China became the main voice of revolutionary movements in the third world, and Mao continued in power and started the Cultural Revolution in May 1966.
The foundation of Communism is a heap of lies and false narratives. A failed lie is justified with another lie. Mao used the century of humiliation slogan to whip up nationalism and attract youth into his army. The human wave attack sacrificed the lives of so many young people in Korean war and against Vietnam in 1979. His Five fingers policy and One China policy are meant to provide a nationalism color for CCP.
The real fact is that, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) helped Mao's revolution during WW2. OSS is the forerunner of present CIA. The OSS spies Ilia Tolstoy and Capt. Brooke Dolan had established relations with Tibetan leaders in 1943. The Western friends of Chiang Kai-shek abandoned him after WW2 because he was a nationalist. Mao was picked up to play puppet leader. The opium funded Yale Divinity School had established a network of schools and hospitals throughout China that also served as an intelligence network. One of Yale in China's most important students was Mao Zedong.
