Why Congress wants to forget 1962 war

By Claude Arpi

17 Jan 2011

While the Indian National Congress is still able to remember the role of former prime ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi in the India-Pakistan conflicts of 1965 and 1971, it has forgotten the 1962 War with China.



'Congress and the Making of the Indian Nation', a souvenir released on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the foundation of the party and edited by senior leader Pranab Mukherjee says that in 1971 Indira Gandhi "was hailed as Durga, an incarnation of Shakti." The events which saw the birth of Bangladesh are still considered to be 'her personal success'.



During the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War, Shastri had already demonstrated to the world that India could defend its territory with modest resources: "The aggression by Pakistan was effectively checked. The Indian troops even crossed over to Pakistani territory near Lahore", write Congress historians.



The 1962 conflict with China remains a deep scar on the Indian psyche, but the 172-page book entirely omits the episode. To many, it resembles a Stalinian way to write history.



This reflects a great deal on the level of the historians working for the Congress. Foremost is Mridula Mukherjee, the director of Nehru Memorial Museum & Library, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Culture who flouted all government rules, which prohibit the director of such bodies from associating with a particular political party.



Interestingly, the release of the book came soon after another 'release': two letters sent by Jawaharlal Nehru to US President John F Kennedy on November 19, 1962.



Thanks to the truly eminent journalist Inder Malhotra these two missives are today in the public domain. Did the Indian National Congress know that the first prime minister of India informed the US President that the situation in November 1962 was 'desperate'? Nehru begged to the US to immediately despatch a 'more comprehensive' US military aid, "if the Chinese are to be prevented from taking over the whole of Eastern India."



Till these letters were 'declassified' by the veteran journalist, there was only a brief mention about their existence in the "Foreign Relations of the United States" which mentions: "The letter conveyed in Telegram 1891 was the first of two letters sent by Nehru to Kennedy on November 19. The second was delivered to the White House by the Indian Ambassador on the evening of November 19.



These letters have not been declassified by the Indian government." The Office of the Historian of the US government quotes their summary published by S Gopal, Nehru's biographer: "Nehru, apparently without consulting any of his cabinet colleagues or officials, apart from the Foreign Secretary, M J Desai, wrote two letters to Kennedy describing the situation as 'really desperate' and asked for the immediate despatch of a minimum of twelve squadrons of supersonic all-weather fighters and the setting up of radar communications. American personnel would have to man these fighters and installations and protect Indian cities from air attacks by the Chinese till Indian personnel had been trained. If possible, the United States should also send planes flown by American personnel to assist the Indian Air Force in any battles with the Chinese in Indian air space; but aerial action by India elsewhere would be the responsibility of the Indian Air Force. Nehru also asked for two B-47 bomber squadrons to enable India to strike at Chinese bases and air fields, but to learn to fly these planes Indian pilots and technicians would be sent immediately for training in the United States."



Malhotra discovered by chance the unredacted letters: "Imagine my surprise, when soon after arriving in Washington this time around, I had easy access to these 'forbidden' epistles (in the JFK Library)." Though there is no mention of it in The Making of the Indian Nation, in November 1962, India faced the most dramatic moment of its recent history. In the words of Nehru (to Kennedy): "The situation in NEFA (North-East Frontier Agency, today Arunachal Pradesh) Command has deteriorated still further. Bomdila has fallen and the retreating forces from Sela have been trapped between the Sela Ridge and Bomdila. A serious threat has developed to our Digboi oilfields in Assam. With the advance of the Chinese in massive strength, the entire Brahmaputra Valley is seriously threatened and unless something is done immediately to stem the tide, the whole of Assam, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland would also pass into Chinese hands."



The prime minister not knowing that the Chinese were ready to declare a unilateral ceasefire (it was done three days later) informed the American President: "The Chinese have poised massive forces also in Chumbi Valley between Sikkim and Bhutan and another invasion from that direction appears imminent… In Ladakh, as I have said in my earlier communication, Chushul is under heavy attack and the shelling of the airfield at Chushul has already commenced. We have also noticed increasing air activity by the Chinese air force."



In the first letter, Nehru had told Kennedy that after the fall of Chushul there was "nothing to stop the Chinese till they reach Leh, the headquarters of the Ladakh province of Kashmir." B K Nehru, the Indian ambassador, delivered the second letter to the White House at night. He later said that his first impulse was to not deliver it. Malhotra recounts: "(B K Nehru) never discussed the contents of the two letters with anyone but did tell me that he locked them up in the safe that only the ambassador could open." Though according to the official history of the Congress, it was Nehru who "outlined five principles of Panchsheel which became the basis of the Non-Aligned Movement", in November 1962, he badly panicked and aligned himself with Washington.



It has always surprised me why the government is adamant on not publishing the Henderson-Brooks report of the 1962 debacle.



Defence Minister A K Antony recently told Parliament that the report could not be made public because an internal study by the Indian Army had established that its contents "are not only extremely sensitive but are of current operational value."



Is it not strange that a 47-year-old report is still of 'operational value'? The officials who drafted the minister's reply may not be aware that another report, the Official History of the Conflict with China (1962) was prepared by the History Division of the Ministry of Defence which details the famous 'operations' in 474 foolscap pages.



After the release of Congress and the Making of the Indian Nation, the motives of the government are clear. The party would like to forever erase the painful months of October/November 1962. Delhi has decided to forget about 1962 altogether.

So the Income Tax Appellate Court decision is being seen as a conspiracy.

Cong would find it difficult to reverse tideJanuary 27, 2011 4:19:49 AM



Sidharth Mishra



On the day Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced the reshuffle of his Cabinet, I was on train for a 24 hour journey. A colleague from the office started to text me the PTI takes as they flashed the changes. I shared the information with three other passengers who shared the coupe with me. There was a unanimous reaction from them, “Is this some reshuffle? This Government just doesn’t want to take any risk.”



Over the years I have come to believe that the passengers of the Indian Railway provide a good indicator of the nation’s mood. Be it the local or the long-distance trains, their passengers give a near perfect analysis of the prevailing situation, which at times may have to be modulated according to the class one is travelling in. I still recall travelling in Buxar-Ara-Patna local shuttle train service at the height of the campaign for the 1996 Lok Sabha polls.



An year earlier, Lalu Prasad Yadav had done well to handsomely retain power in 1995 Vidhan Sabha elections and he was once again pitted to give Janata Dal the highest number of seats from Bihar. During this local train journey, I was privy to some very deeply analytical discussion on why Lalu Yadav’s caste combination, which gave the party such lead in 1995 Assembly polls, has started to wither on a bigger level. The discussion concluded with a very philosophical line from the elderly among the group of discussants. The gentleman said, “Ekar matlab na Pope (Congress), na Gope (Lalu Yadav), na Tope (Maoists) ke ba hope (This means neither Congress, no Lalu Yadav nor the Maoists have any hope).



The 1996 Lok Sabha polls indeed gave first indication of change in Bihar politics with BJP emerging as a political force and the Samata Party led by Nitish Kumar and George Fernandes started to gather their wits. Bihar in 1996 did not give Lalu Yadav the requisite number of MPs to stake a claim for the Prime Ministership and he had to remain satisfied with first pushing case of HD Deve Gowda and when the latter opened the fodder scam cases against him, he became part of the topple plan which replaced Gowda with Inder Kumar Gujral.



Coming back to the train journey last week, there was unanimity in the opinion that Dr Manmohan Singh doesn’t have the desire to bring a change. When the discussion veered around the fact that he doesn’t have the wherewithal too, it was quickly pointed out that when he wanted the passage of the Nuclear Bill he could afford to risk the support of a strong Left-front. And then the ever present conspiracy theory reared its head. “He is an American agent who wants to impoverish India. He doesn’t have any connect with the people,” said a co-passenger.



Well without casting any aspersions on the loyalty of the Prime Minister to the Indian Constitution, it’s also important that when the hoi-polloi thinks of the head of the Government working at the behest of another sovereign power, it’s a very unfortunate situation and calls for serious introspection. During the first five years, Dr Manmohan Singh lived on the ‘gentleman’ image, which is getting severely dented in the second-term.



His inability to connect with people who spoke language of the aam admi too has been his biggest undoing. To illustrate the point, there was death of a patient caught in traffic bandobast for Prime Minister’s route during the Congress plenary. There was no expression, even routine, either from Dr Singh personally or his office. Dr Singh has seldom responded to human tragedies which have afflicted this nation. His inability to do so is increasingly adding to his alienation from the masses and of his party too.



Another co-passenger was quick to point out that we are back to 1987 kind of situation, when a Government with brute majority in Parliament was reduced to a minority on the streets after the Bofors Scam broke out. Rajiv Gandhi’s inability to act against the scam proved to be his biggest undoing with his name, though after his death, appearing in the chargesheet filed by the CBI in the matter.



Rajiv Gandhi till then had enjoyed immense affection of the people but it all withered within matter of months. His mother too had recorded a resounding victory in 1971 to be reduced to such ebb of popularity that Indira Gandhi was forced to impose Emergency in 1975. Both lost the office of the Prime Minister in the subsequent polls.



I would still want to believe that 2011 is qualitatively different from 1975 and 1987. Both in 1975 and in 1987, there were charioteers in form of Jai Prakash Narayan and Vishwanath Pratap Singh to channelise people’s anger. There is none visible now with whom people may trust their anger.



The Sonia Gandhi-led Congress is lucky that there is yet to emerge somebody in the Opposition ranks who enjoyed the same credibility as JP or VP in their time. But like 1987, in 2011 we have some powerful non-Congress regional leaders who could come together to give the Opposition unity, a push in the electoral field, too. As and when that situation would arise, the Congress would find it absolutely impossible to reverse the tide.

It is very similar to the charge placed on Obama too. Obama is stereotyped as a scholar, thinker, leader ityadi. He has used it to his advantage during elections; MMS is similar. He cashed on the professional, gentleman, calm, effective leader image he had. Well it is backfiring on him now.

Lucknow, Feb 2 : Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) today alleged that Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi and other leaders were 'scripting' the conspiracy to malign the image of the Sangh by terming it as an organisation promoting Hindu terrorism in the country.



''Rahul Gandhi and other leaders are scripting the modalities before investigating agencies leak the substances, involving several people caught in terrorist act and linking them with the RSS to get political mileage,'' claimed RSS central committee member and ex-spokesperson Ram Madhav here today.

...



''The selective leak of confessional statement of Aseemanand for his involvement in Ajmer and Mecca Masjid blast, also gives ample prove that the Congress and the Centre is trying to implicate RSS in these cases,'' he further claimed.



Disclosing that Colonel Srikant Purohit and Dayanand Pandey arrested in the Malegaon blast have been now identified as Hindu terrorists, but actually they were arrested for trying to kill RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.



''Now the investigating agencies are not at all interested in probing them on the conspiracy to kill the RSS chief, but now have implicated them in the Malegaon case,'' he said.



Mr Madhav said similar was in the case of Samjhauta Express blast as the investigating agency even after filing chargesheet and approaching the Interpol of Muslim terrorist organisation behind the incident have now blaming Hindu terrorism behind it.

The President's secretary Christy Fernandez spoke to the Rajasthan governor and the CM asking them to ascertain facts and take "appropriate action if necessary".



Patil's husband Devi Singh said, "We are hurt. It is for the Congress leadership to take a call (on action against him)."



"It is shameful for entire women community," said BJP leader Vasundhara Raje.



Shree Rajput Karni Sena demonstrated at the Collectorate Circle in Jaipur and demanded the minister be sacked. "We burnt effigies of Khan at 13 district headquarters, including Sikar which is the hometown of Devi Singh," said Sena's state convener Shyam Pratap Singh. Protests were also reported from Jodhpur, Jhunjhunu, Churu, Dausa, Sawai Madhopur and other districts.

He is just honestly saying, if you clean Congress President dishes, you can be President of India during Congress regime. Same if you are cook of current Congress President, you can be MLA candidate from HP and one day you can be Rajya Sabha member.

[color="#FF0000"]That most of these states are Opposition strongholds only raises fears that the CMs may view the Centre's initiative with suspicion. The Centre says its objective is dictated by concern for local culture which calls for differentapproach to governance.



The Centre, too, is grappling with the strategy to address tribal concerns. A row erupted during the recent debate on Integrated Action Plan for 60 districts. The Planning Commission devised the fund to incentivise "good practices" like ban on liquor auction that are anathema to tribal life. It also preferred panchayati raj instiuttions to implement the agenda. But home ministry approved a committee of civil and police administration chiefs for implementation.[/color] http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india...470971.cms
