| Summary/Abstract |
One of the most popular anecdotes of the 1971 war is Field Marshal Manekshaw’s tale of how he restrained an impatient Indira Gandhi from ordering an unprepared Indian army to march into East Pakistan in April. The Field Marshal’s prowess as a raconteur fully matched his military skills but exceeded his grasp of the political and diplomatic dimensions of the grand strategy shaped by Indira Gandhi and her advisors. The prime minister had no intention of going to war in April since India’s political aims could not have been achieved at that stage simply through a successful military operation.

| Summary/Abstract |
On November 7, 1950, Vallabhbhai Patel wrote his celebrated letter to Jawaharlal Nehru on India's China policy. 'The Chinese Government has tried to delude us by professions of peaceful intention', he stated, referring to Beijing's decision to move troops into Tibet. A new challenge confronted India as a result of the 'disappearance of Tibet, as we knew it, and the expansion of China almost up to our gates'. 'Chinese ambitions … not only cover the Himalayan slopes on our side but also include the important part of Assam. They have their ambitions in Burma also', he added, noting (incorrectly) that 'Burma has the added difficulty that it has no McMahon Line round which to build up even the semblance of an agreement'.
