1962 A Brief Introduction to the Sino-Indian War
1962 the sino-Indian war was an unnecessary tragedy.

On September 20th, 1962, the Indian army was ordered to cross the McMahon line in the eastern section and launch an attack on the Chinese border guards in Kejelang area. 10 On June 30th, it attacked the Dong Chi Post in eastern China. India has assembled heavy troops on the Sino-Indian border and deployed more than 1.6 thousand troops in the eastern part.

In the western section, the Indian army deployed 1 brigade, six infantry battalions, 1 machine gun battalion and several attached detachments, with a total of more than 5,600 people. 101On October 20th, the Indian army launched a large-scale attack on China. In the face of the Indian army's rampant aggression, the China government and the Central Military Commission decided to fight back in self-defense. Counter-offensive operations are divided into two stages. The first stage,1October 20th to 28th, 10.

1962 the influence of the sino-Indian war;

1, dragging down the Indian economy.

After the end of the Sino-Indian War, the voices in Indian politics became louder and louder, but they were all fighting for power and profit, and none of them really made a difference. This led to the economic problems that had been lurking for a long time before, and finally broke out. Domestic development has not only stagnated, but even experienced great retrogression due to severe social contradictions. This unbalanced economic structure is particularly harmful. Until now, India has not recovered from the economic trauma.

2. India has since embarked on the road of military modernization.

1962 The fiasco of the Indian army made Indians question their own army, and also made the Ministry of National Defense and the Indian army learn from a bitter experience and determined to completely reorganize the military structure and adjust military policies. After some prevarication and wrangling, the Indian military has finally been forced by international and civil pressure to formally invest in the road of military modernization, but this road of modernization seems to be biased. As mentioned above, they invest huge sums of money to buy new weapons and equipment every year.

2. Changed the diplomatic direction of India.

Prior to this, in order to maintain the so-called "peace and neutrality", India has always pursued a non-aligned policy. After the Sino-Indian War, India actually began to turn to the Soviet Union and the United States as superpowers, receiving their expanded assistance, including advanced weapons and equipment and special training of military experts. This has led to India's image of dishonesty in the international arena, and the newly established camp of the Non-Aligned Movement has also begun to split.
