I don't think your argument is good. You must not be serious defending Nehru giving cold war reasons! Anyways, having outdated russian trucks with empty missile tubes could have been far better options than today's 1) China on our doorstep fearlessly claiming India's NE land 2)China having direct boundry with Pakistan supplying them all support for fight against India 3) China controlling almost all rivers flowing into India from Tibet 4) China supplying arms/money to Left for anti-India activities giving India a permanent headach for how many more years.
Please accept Nehru screwed up big time. And we Indians are and will pay price for long long time to come. Power hungry and shameless Congress under Left and Jihadi blackmail is again behaving like obedient cow in front of China.
We need to think in terms of our country its political expansion and its own regional ambitions. By acting like a cow in the mosaic of so called east dictacted by china and russia is not going to help India at all. India needs to stand-up, firm-up and actaully behave like a world power and not like third world country.
