General Khan the military ruler of Pakistan decided to go to war against India in 1965.  The war began in Kashmir but soon was being fought along the border between West Pakistan and India.  Both sides were fairly equal in the air and in tanks and the war ended in a draw.

In this second episode on the Sino - Indian War of 1962, I look at the fighting in the Aksai Chin region in Eastern Kashmir where Chinese troops defeated the Indian Army and occupied the region.  I also look at the long term effect of the war.

In October 1962 at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Chinese troops attacked Indian along their disputed border.  This episode looks at the fighting in the North east frontier Area.  A biography is given of V.K.K.  Menon, the Indian defence minister who failed to prepare the Indian military for the Chinese attack.

A biography of Indian Prime Minister Nehru and the story of his work with the international non aligned movement which attached a great deal of support from the newly independent third world nations.  However relations between India and China which had been good for a decade decline.
