Nehru throws light on 'Panchsheel'
London, Oct. 19. (PTI): History Talking.com, an online oral history of the South Asian diasporas, run by a non- profit organisation has come across a rare interview India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had given to a Kenyan journalist of Indian origin during the Chinese war of 1962.
Asked to throw light on the future of the Panchsheel - the policy of peaceful coexistence with China - during the interview, Nehru cryptically said "Throwing light is now difficult, as the Chinese have spread darkness all over.
"How can I throw light on Panchsheel. By this war they have totally acted against the spirit of Panchsheel.
"Panchsheel cannot take place in the air or cannot be implemented by one side alone. It can only work if both countries agree to follow it. If the Chinese don't want to follow Panchsheel, it's finished," he said.
The interview was recorded by Chaman Lal Chaman, who was specially deputed by the Director-General of the Kenyan Broadcasting Corporation, Patrick Jubb, from Kenya to cover the war.
