Yes, of course.
He must be a left wing historian;
Maxell is a communism lover;
This austrlaian is communism spy;
Perfect explaination.
Then who are you? Intellectual genius?
Don't you know the legion of leftwing columnists writing in Mount Road Maoist? Every one here know that.
Ofcourse coming from a country that has a media policy of His Master's voice only where everything ever written Global Times is supposed to be the ultimate trurth , may make understanding stuff like this difficult.
may be you may think of Maxwell's ,"India's china war" as a bible in your country.
In a democracy there are many shades of opinion. About MAXWELL , the greaaaaaaaaat author(!?!) once predicted that india will disintegrate after 1962 elections.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Maxwell
In the 1960s Maxwell predicted that India would not remain a democracy for much longer, which has been proven wrong. While serving as the South Asia correspondent of The Times of London, Maxwell authored a series of pessimistic reports filed in February 1967.
In the atmosphere leading up to the 4th Lok Sabha elections, he wrote that "The great experiment of developing India within a democratic framework has failed. [Indians will soon vote] in the fourth—and surely last—general election."
An article written in The Guardian in the weeks prior to the election provided a contrary view, noting that "the Delhi correspondent of a British newspaper whose thundering misjudgments in foreign affairs have become a byword has expressed the view that Indian democracy is disintegrating
In a recent interview to outlook , when the reporter asked why his above famous fond prediction failed, you know what he replied,"Point taken" and nothing else.
Is that a reply of a great scholar perhaps? So we all know what would have been his motivation behind painting india as the aggressor.
He was an australian born london educated Times correspondent posted in newdelhi at the time of war. Every one here knows whether he is a left wing sympathiser or not. SO we know petty journalist who masquerades as great scholars are nothing but senile creatures sucking up to communist ideology.
Since india is a free democracy and many kinds of historians peddle many kinds of views here. Continuous reading of their columns over a decade we know what they will write even after death.
The fond wish of Indain communists and left wing intellectual and historians through out the last century was , somehow indai will become weak and disintegrate and communist revolution will be unleashed here.
They oppose indian nuclear bomb program tooth and nail. They oppose india's strategic partner ship with US. They glorify the non existing chinese super power(which even with a veto always abstains at crucial UN security council votes, why?)And oppose entry of multi nationals to india.
They write glossy article on Cuba's economic miracle. They shed tons of tears for the palestians killed in israeli raids(but when it comes to 40000 tamils killed in sri lanka , they strangely keep silent). The Mount road Mahavishnu is the sanctuary of these guys writting all kinds of articles with intellectual word play defending the indefensible.
However after the successful functioning of Indian constitutional democracy these self seving left wing historians and your famous CHINA WAR book(!) writer have nowhere to hide.
These guys know that present day china has nothing to do with communism , but what can they do? Old habits die hard.
