Thank you for sharing out this story. But you've reached a wrong conclusion. 1962 happenned because Nehru's aggressiveness on personally supporting Dalai Lama and implementing forward policy. It is the exact opposite of your conclusion, Nehru thought China was too weak and could not do anything.
I think Moral of the story: Let cool heads manage the countries and always prefer dialog first.
Exactly right.
Indians think Nehru was weak and passive.
In fact he was very agressive against us (hosting our separatist groups in 1959, and the Forward Policy in 1962). But he was also weak, which is why he couldn't get away with it.
He was agressive and weak, the worst combination.
