from some fora-
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I am of an age that I followed the Chinese incursion to India, and the Indian armyâs poor show in containing them thanks to Krishna Menonâs ineptitude, his obstruction to equipping Indian army and treating the generals as his âchaiâ boys. Sam it was told at that time was particularly badly treated and when he resisted, he was banished into the back room of the army until he was brought back for the Bangla. This it was rumoured did not find favour with the rest of the armyâs top brass.
Krishna Menon close to Nehru was almost single handedly responsible for Chinese grabbing Indian territories as the left-leaning defence minister assumed that his Chinese comrades would do nothing of the kind to their Indian comrades!!
for my money, I have more faith in any one who opposed Krishna Menon, and that includes Sam.
