This book was originally written by brigadier Jhon.P.Dhalavi, unfortunately I didn’t had the chance of reading this original book, as it was banned by then congress government for there political reasons.
But I did have a chance of reading this book, a translated version by Ravi Belagare(Kannada).
As I read this book, my hate rate against these politicians grew by one more inch, and how can I bring out my frustration..? There was one way for me, i.e. to write a post on it, and let the reader know about this.
The author tells the facts which was suppressed by the politicians. This book is a war report, telling the story of the facts which led to indo-Sino war, and the reasons behind our defeat.

Indo-Sino war remains as a black spot in our glorious history, and yet the people responsible for it are treated as great Heros of our country, will mother India ever forgive these so called (un)great people….?
Here is the list of persons who are responsible for our defeat in indo-Sino war.1>Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru (Prime Minister of India)
2> A.C Menon (Defense Minister).
3> Thapar (Army Chief).
In 1950 , India and china signed a “Pansheela” Treaty, and accordingly agreed that no one will initiate the war against each other, with it came the saying Hindi-Chini Bhai-Bhai.(हिंदी चीनी भाई-भाई ),it was this treaty which china utilized to break the back door of India, by attacking the NFEA border and taking most part of it.
This war didn’t happen in a day, it took complete 10 years for them to plan this attack, and what were our politicians doing all these years…?.As china was getting prepared for this war, were they sleeping..?.
No they didn’t, they had complete information about Chinese preparation, but still they didn’t take any action, why so? its because they had a blind trust on “Pansheela” treaty.
When china attacked Tibet in 1950, it was the right time for Indian politicians to open there eyes and see what is happening in its border, but they didn’t, they took this matter as an internal mater of china, and ironically china used Tibet as there war base in Indo-Sino war.
When china attacked Tibet, India could (Should) have attacked china and get them out of Tibet, but they failed to do so. In fact that was the right time to attack, as china was still recovering from China-Korea war, were they suffered heavy losses.
China constructed war bunkers, well established communications lines, roads along the border lines of Tibet, this was a clear indication that china was preparing for something, something very big, but still these politicians were more interested to grow as a international hero at the cost of there county.

Ironically when the first spark of the war started, our leaders were on there foreign trips, on big podiums, giving big speeches, and trying to grow as international leaders, what an irony…?He didn’t have warm cloths, snow shoes and not even enough artillery; he was just left at the mercy of Chinese. This was the state of the Indian soldier, fighting for the pride of India. Who was responsible for this? It was these leaders.
Government funds were diverted to other projects, and the army needs were just not considered, they just thought that it was unnecessary to spend on army needs, how can a country develop without having a strong border gates…?.
Wrong decisions were taken at wrong moments….
Forward policy was a classic example for this; this policy was brought into act by then congress government. This policy was all about establishing forward post along the NFEA Border, this was the death blow for Indian army, and this was the spark which triggered the fire of Indo-Sino war.
Around 1500 army persons died, they didn’t event get a proper cremation, there was no one to cry for them.
