Nehru didn't use airforce under US pressure. But now will use all we have got, in case. Also, we dont have shortage of friends in international arena.
In 1962, China openly had both the USA and the USSR as our sworn enemies. We had just fought the Korean War against America and all of her allies, and were in the middle of the Sino-Soviet split as well.
Not to mention we were just coming out of the worst famine in our history (1959-1961).
But still, despite being our enemies... neither one came to help you.

Today, China is a strategic partner of Russia, we even co-founded the SCO with them. We also have the largest bilateral economic relationship in the world with the USA, to the point where they were even proposing the creation of a "G-2" with us. We also happen to be their largest creditor.
Tell me, how has any of this improved in your favour? And lest you forget, it was also the Indian Armed Forces themselves, who said that "India has no hope of matching China".
