  1. If what I just said a single British company or what Karl Marx said about India is for the past, now this country changed? I will use 2 simple cases in 1962 war to show this army does not know how to fight a war at all. 1. Under Nehru's forward policy, the 7th Brigade under BG John Dalvi was ordered to push into China side, he put his front line positions at the bottom of a valley, and the soldiers made the bunkers only with shooting holes facing China at front, so when war started, it was very easy for PLA just went around from back, the whole 7th Brigade was wiped out in just 1 day, J Dalvi was captured, and in POW camp PLA soldiers would ask him, why you put your positions at the bottom of a valley?? the 7th Brigade was considered one of the best of Indian army. 2. in the second stage of war, Indian was put all its army (at eastern section) as a single line along the road from the Sala Ridge to Bomdila. PLA simply sent a troop went around via a trail (Belly trail) to get the back of Indian army, India army knew this road, but they only sent 30 soldiers to guard it, PLA surrounded all over 10000 troops , heard this, Nehru wrote letter to JFK begged for US help, in his letter he said : " Dear Mr. President, Within a few hours of despatching my earlier message of today, the situation in the N.E.F.A. Command has deteriorated still further. Bomdila has fallen and the retreating forces from Sela have been trapped between the Sala Ridge and Bomdila. A serious threat has developed to our Digboi oil fields 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."
