Our immediate traditional neighbour in the north has been\u00a0 Tibet. Unfortunately, upon gaining independence we allowed China to forcibly and illegally occupy her due to the naivety of our political leadership. In our gallery, we have captured the grandeur of Tibet’s culture and heritage for the benefit of our readers.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The loss of Tibet became a scourge for India’s national security. Out of the three wars\u00a0 fought by India, the performance in the India-China War of 1962 was most dismal.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Truth of Tibet<\/strong><\/p>\r\nThe history of Tibet is not only mystical but also highly fascinating and eventful. Her geographical location inhibited easy communication, leading to her secure and peaceful existence.\r\n\r\nWhat went on inside Tibet was little known to the world. Surprisingly, even Indian historians did not take an interest in exploring her, notwithstanding, centuries of cultural and trade relationship. Whatever little knowledge that world had was the result of a few Western travellers.\r\n\r\nSome facts that interest readers are \u2013\r\n

    \r\n \t
  • An ancient civilization known as Zhang Zhung flourished in southwest Tibet (the region of Mt Kailash, Lake Mansarovar and the Yarlung Valley) between 1500 BC - 650 AD.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • From the seventh century to mid-eighteenth century Tibet was the strongest power in Central Asia .<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Historically China never exercised control over Tibet. Her forcible annexation of Tibet in 1951 was illegal.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><\/div>
    \"\"\r\n

    Tibet Betrayed by the World<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

      \r\n \t
    • The Red Army of China, while it was still engaged in dealing with Nationalist forces in the autumn of 1949, started concentrating its forces on the border of Kham. In October 1950it invaded Tibet with 18 Red Army Corps (around 40,000 highly equipped and experienced soldiers) and forcibly occupied Lhasa defeating a ragtag army of Tibet of around 5000-8000 militia.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • India\u2019s betrayal in refusing to stand by Tibet in her difficult time and refusal to accord asylum to 16 years Fourteenth Dalai Lam, especially so when India was still availing benefits of the Lhasa Treaty signed by the British, was not only unethical but also a major strategic blunder.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • The UK after exploiting Tibet for both political and economic gains, washed its hand off of all its obligations after leaving India and showed total indifference to help her.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • The book gives full details of the betrayal of Tibet by UNO, India, the UK and the USA.<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Tibet\u2019s story of a singlehanded struggle for freedom against the PRC shall go down in history as an example of human valour, nationalism and faith in one\u2019s religion.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><\/div>

      \u201cProgress is impossible without change.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\nDespite the catastrophic consequences that war brings, often driven by resistance to change, many military leaders worldwide remain slow to adapt. The prevalent tendency is to prepare for future conflicts based on the lessons of past wars.\r\n\r\nAfter the disastrous defeat in World War I, the USSR and Germany\u2014two of the nations that suffered the most\u2014investigated the causes of their defeats. They concluded that modern warfare had undergone revolutionary changes. The gap between tactics and strategy had widened to the point where it was no longer possible to win a war by simply applying traditional tactical principles. A new component of military art emerged, which the Soviets termed \"Operational Art,\" and they established its principles. Both the German \"Blitzkrieg\" and the Soviet \"Theory of Deep Battle\/Operation\" were based on these principles of operational art.\r\n\r\nToday, all modern armies recognise the existence of operational art. The book explores the genesis, development, and application of this concept in warfare.<\/div>

      \"\"\r\n

      The book answers the following questions:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

        \r\n \t
      • Why did India's wars remain militarily inconclusive?<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Were the available resources used imaginatively to maximize their effect?<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Did India have a well-articulated national strategy and corresponding military strategy?<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Were the wars conducted based on a pragmatic military doctrine?<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Why did the Indian armed forces fail to recognize the evolution of operational art as a crucial component of warfare?<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Why did India conduct operational-level wars using tactical principles without fully integrating them?<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Why did Indian military leadership fail to fully exploit the potential of highly trained, battle-experienced, and motivated soldiers, sailors, and airmen?<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Why have historians focused primarily on the tactical-level battles conducted by battalions, regiments, and their supporting elements, while neglecting the outcomes and effectiveness of operational-level formations?<\/li>\r\n \t
