War and peace in modern India

1) A quick introduction that is high-quality is * Srinath Raghavan, War and Peace in Modern India, 2010. It covers only the Nehru years, but that is when the dispute developed. https://t.co/gKQ3no4FQG

Raghavan also says that, after reading through the transcripts of the negotiations for the 1954 Pansheel Agreement, Nehru decided that all the old maps must be withdrawn and new maps issued showing only defined borders. /11 https://t.co/uAAezYcEdV

'Nehru instructed the Indian delegation not to raise the boundary question during the negotiations over Tibet: "If the Chinese raise it, we should express our surprise and point out that this is a settled issue".' /5 https://t.co/Pr4NSf0oeW

'As R.K. Nehru recalled, "until 1960, we ourselves were not sure that the territory belonged to us and we were thinking in terms of giving up our claims as part of a satisfactory settlement."' https://t.co/Pr4NSf0oeW
