Who said we didn't learn from the 1962 fiasco? That event was a big kick on our back-side and made us one of the most formidable military forces that we are today. That event was a wakeup call for our leaders which resulted in the most magnificant military victory the world had since WW-II, in 1971, against our worst enemy. 1962 made us the nuclear power in 1974.
Yes sir, we did learn our lessons from 1962 and we are far better off today due to the lesson you taught us in 1962. We lost a desolate place called Aksai Chin & retained a strategic area in Arunachal Pradesh. Compared to what we lost on short term, we gained a million times more in long term. We thank you very much for it.

'India cannot match China's military force': Indian Naval Chief - IBNLive
Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sureesh Mehta has set off a storm by saying India cannot match China military force. Is it a warning from India's military that the government needs to hear?
"In military terms, both conventional and non-conventional, we neither have the capability nor the intention to match China force for force," said Admiral Sureesh Mehta.
For a nuclear-armed military representing the interests of a billion-plus people, the lack of confidence is quite striking. India's military leadership has made a stunning confession that New Delhi doesn't have the stomach for a fight, if push came to shove on the disputed Sino-Indian boundary.
"Whether in terms of GDP, defence spend or any other parameter, the gap between the two is too wide to bridge and is getting wider by the day," he said.
This, according to you... is "one of the most formidable military forces in the world"? One that openly admits it does not have the guts to fight us?
