In 1962, China was not in a position to win
the war against India, and India was strong enough to confront China. Then what
wrong in the winter of 1962 when India tasted a harsh defeat and lost the
advantage to china which would have made lot of difference in 2012.
There are following three main reasons
which ensured that India lost the tactical advantage over China:
1.
Government of India didn’t pay attention
to the alarm raised by various commanders of army deployed in the northern
borders. Their unconcerned attitude towards the People’s Liberation Army’s
activity led to a heavy defeat.
2.
Indian Armed Forced lacked an
effective leadership.
3.
Unfortunately, Indian Air Force
was grounded at that time. Air Chief Marshal Browne also admitted that if
Indian Air Force was included in the Indo-China war then the end result would
have very different.
