Neville Maxwell pulled a Snowden on India. He exposed a top-secret Indian war report that returned the spotlight to a period in history that still sours public opinion in India and bars normal ties between the two Asian giants.

The so-called Henderson Brooks-Bhagat Report was an operational review of India's military debacle commissioned by New Delhi that Maxwell managed to obtain.

Compiled by Lieutenant-General Henderson Brooks and Brigadier Premindra Singh Bhagat in 1963, it has been kept secret by the Indian government despite repeated appeals that it be declassified. The government's excuse for keeping the report under wraps "for national security" has few takers in India. The predominant view is that the government aims to protect the legacy of the then prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

The report details how this brinkmanship was forced down the throats of ground commanders despite their repeated warnings about reversing the border's status quo without sufficient preparation. Such moves, they said, were bound to provoke the Chinese.

Highly unlikely scenario given the Chinese penchant for lebensraum ie., territorial expansion both in the terrestrial and maritime domains regardless of international law. The source cited here is not reputable at all, given that it is a mouthpiece for the state propaganda agency.

You are starting to give the appearance of having a habit of posting inflammatory posts without reputable sources. This is close to trolling and that will upset the Moderators who aren't known for their sense of humour or patience.
