I am not Cmmy, Tathagat. Frequently I came across your views. Unfortunately, most of the time they are extreme and though u r right it becomes tarnished. I shall quote an ex... In one of the public meettings in Kolkata, when most of the Subhas (Netaji) supporters started vehimently expressing that Subhas is alive, his elder brother Dr.Sharadbabu, who was a staunch non-believer of the plane-accident story, warned them (and their leader Mr Shisheer Bose; Subhas'nephew) that they are forcing him to believe that Netaji Subhas is no more. Your name is that of Budhha's. Try to adopt his humblness. Being bengali, that's what your name suggests, you must be a good reader. So I may recommend one book "India's China War" by Neville Maxwell(Doubleday & Co., N.Y.,USA.1972). With his access to many unpublished govt. documents and analysis he has proved beyond duobts that, as the general view held, India was not the innocent victim of the unprovoked(?) Chinese agression. Also read the chapter, 'India's defence ministers; 1947-1962' from 'The Himalayan Blunder' by Brigd. J.P.Dalvi(1969). Never forget both were never Commies.
