You have already concluded that Indians are poor, desperate, foolish, weak and unintelligent. In spite of having all these traits, Indians have confronted Chinese. Why?
These is the traits that Chinese have not accounted for - Unpredictability, Tenacity and Emotional Patriotism. Unlike other people, Indians worship their land.
You can bet that Indians do think it is worth while to indulge in a nuclear war for a piece of land.
Our brothers across the border may claim physical superiority but all it took them to cede land to china in 1963 was India losing the war to China in 1962. The irony is India has not ceded an inch of its claim in spite of losing the war in 1962. That is the difference.
