I had said yesterday in this forum that our internal forces are getting more active and begging for a confrontation wishing an adverse outcome for India so that they could bring down Modi. They wish to change the narrative of 1962 basically to exonerate Nehru for the national humiliation. Such efforts though also have been attempted many times including by MoD Babus of IDSA.
Here is the Congressi Press with a Congressi Journalist Manoj Joshi. He has come out with an article to exonerate Nehru in Quint ;
Nehru Death Anniversary: In assessing the Nehru era, Srinath Raghavan has said that Nehru well understood the “nature and the limits of power,” and that “moral and political legitimacy was as important as economic and military resources.”

The main questions remain to be unanswered.
1. If India was militarily weakened due to division of Army between India and Pakistan and then the Indian Army was fully stretched in J&K due to Pakistani aggression etc, instead of strengthening it why reduction of the strength of IA by 50,000 between 1950 and 1954 was carried out? Why another further reduction of 50,000 was ordered?
2. When PLA militarily annexed Tibet and marching towards Indian frontiers, It was a foregone conclusion that there is going to be military conflict on borders and frontiers as admitted by Nehru. Under such circumstances instead of consolidating the Indian Military, why was it being employed as labor to build residential accommodations instead of preparing for impending wars on borders?
3. After 1950, the Western world and Amerca had already brought Cold War to the subcontinent by bringing CEATO and CENTO on Indian borders in Pakistan. Nehru was pussy faking with Nonalignment to build his personal image. What efforts did Nehru make to counter Cold war military block CENTO.
4. In the heightened Coldwar scenario India not having joined the Western bloc and considered closer to USSR why were CIA activities to liberate Tibet being allowed by Nehru and his coterie? Why was director IB BN Mullik, being allowed to act like super lord of India Tibet border activities? Why did Nehru play a game of double-edged sword placating China as also USA about Tibet?
5. Why Nehru and his lapdog Krishna Menon deliberately and in a planned manner destroyed Indian Military leadership, bullick and downgrade the generals, play favorites and interfere in planning and executions of military operations?
There are many more questions that can never be answered by the Nehru apologists no matter how hard they may try...India China Tibet affairs were personal fiefdoms of a few like Nehru, Menon Bhatia and Mullik - the guilty Men of 1962, The is the truth and truth shall prevail.
