Thanks for the video. Very insteresting, I never saw it before. I believe this vedio was probably made in early 80's.
I guess it could be extremly difficult for Indian to understand these video. The basic stand point of China is that India's "Forward Policy" and aggression ignited the border war. China was forced into war but restrain herself from further conflict. Also China treated Indian POW well. India actually got many advanced weapons from US, UK and Soviet Union. China also returned captured weapon back to India after the war.
The Forward Policy was undertaken when it was discovered that China had encroached in Aksai Chin and it was done to ensure that no more territory was occupied by China.
Nehru, who was basically a pacifist, was under pressure so much so that he said the incursion by China did not matter because 'not a blade of grass grew'.
This brought indignation in the Parliament and with the Indian people, wherein he adopted the Forward Policy.
The Chinese leaders did not understand this and thought that it was an aggressive move and so they started the Conflict.
India did not get any advanced weapon from the US, UK or Russia before the war. The US gave infantry weapons in the middle of the war, namely 81mm Mors, FN Rifles and radio equipment. I am not too sure what UK gave. Our defence deals with USSR was still not there. In fact, our Army was still of the WWII vintage.
I don't think China returned any weapons captured.
China, however, treated most of the prisoners well and that is an important lesson learnt for India. The PsW with China had no animus towards China and some were quite favourably inclined to China. We applied the same to Pakistani PsW in the 1971 War and treated the Pakistani PsW like VIPs to include giving the General a special Mess and free Scotch!!
First of all, his code is Kickok, why you keep calling him Kickoff?
secondly, only because China is larger not necessary means China has to give up what should be belonged to it.
I too made the mistake of calling Kickok as Kickoff. This is possibly because in Football, the start of the game is through kicking the football and that is called Kickoff.
It is a matter of debate if indeed Tibet is a part of China!
