India didn’t do a very good job of it in 1962.
China pretty much kicked their ass.

I wonder how China could kick India’s ass in 1962, but couldn’t do the same to a smaller Vietnam in 1979 and all throughout the 1980’s...
One can always hope.
Lots of pessimism/defeatism on these threads — and that’s a general comment, not something I’m saying specific to this India-China mess.
One thing I respect about the Indian Army is that they’ve to a large extent maintained their traditions from the days of the British Raj.
I would never count them out. They may not have done that well against China in 1962 but they rolled over the Pakis a few years later.
