Government may make classified war records public
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Though the government has come out with an official history of the 1948 Indo-Pak war, it is yet to make public the classified records of 1962 war with China and 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak conflicts.
If the government takes a positive decision then it would be for the first time that the Henderson Brook report which went into the 1962 war would be thrown open to public scrutiny.
Recently, former Army Chief General JJ Singh before laying down office had suggested that histories of the conflict with China and Indo-Pak wars should be made available to military strategist and other stakeholders to draw the right lessons from them.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
