Generations of Indians have grown up internalizing a standard narrative on the 1962 border war between India and China. According to this account, India lost significant territory—historically considered its own—due to political ineptitude, interference, and nepotism.
At the heart of this version lies the assertion that the debacle was caused by the egregious missteps of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Defence Minister Krishna Menon.
We aim to examine these assertions by setting aside personal opinions or predispositions and instead relying on documented facts and verifiable events—eschewing hearsay, innuendo, and unsupported anecdotes.

Growing up in Rourkela, with a visible German population in the early years of the steel plant, the author developed an interest in World War II, its history and lore. Many decades of study in this fascinating domain, starting with “war stories” and then pursuing it as a serious field of research, gave him significant expertise and specialization in this subject.
He honed his expertise by contributing extensively to the international history forum dedicated to “Axis History” for years. He posts on X (formerly Twitter) regularly on military history and analysis from the handle @Libertarian196. It was through this platform that retired senior officers of the Indian armed forces encouraged him and advised him to take an interest in Indian military history too. This led to his association with the defence and strategic affairs website: India Sentinels, under his own name.
In recent years the author published highly appreciated articles, based on interviews with military participants and experts, on a range of stories like the Indian airborne operationsin Maldives (1988), a heroic sapper-action in the Bangladesh war (1971), the exploits of the Indian Navy’s Vikrant Battle Group in forcing a favourable outcome in the east (1971), and gripping accounts of battles on the LOC in the Batalik (Kargil) area under unfavourable conditions, among others.
Apart from military history, he actively engages in study, analyses contemporary military and strategic issues, particularly focusing on the 2020 Chinese incursions in eastern Ladakh. He has done a number of interview-based articles and videos on this subject on the India Sentinels website and their YouTube channel. The videos are to be found in the 'Sandy Wars' series of this channel.
