India today is paying for this Nehru folly
Today India is desperately trying for a permanent UN Security Council seat and we are literally begging every country to endorse us. When President Obama said that a permanent seat for India was “complicated” it triggered anger in Indians. When he endorsed the US support, we celebrated. What we do not know and what has been kept a secret is that this is not the first time the US has recommended us for a permanent seat at he UNSC. Washington Post reports that such an offer was made to us in 1955. Nehru turned it down and asked the US to offer it to China even though China had nothing to do with WWII and wasn’t even a democracy. Nehru did not want the US to contain China. CONTAIN CHINA! Let’s step back a little and soak in the implication. Nehru, drunk on the Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai hooch was helping the worst enemy of India and people call this man a statesman!! Statesmen have the capability of seeing beyond the obvious. World diplomacy is a chess game where you need to anticipate the every move of your opponent and then some. Nehru was playing Cricket with a Chess player! His love for China made him make more bad moves like allowing China to invade Tibet and eventually giving up the right to have a diplomatic mission in Lhasa and then recognizing the Chinese misdeed. Essentially we helped China in usurping Tibet. How did the Chinese repay us? The 1962 war and loss of land of Kailash Mansarovar. Here is what Wikipedia says about this:
In 1954, Prime Minister Nehru wrote a memo calling for India’s borders to be clearly defined and demarcated; in line with previous Indian philosophy, Indian maps showed a border that, in some places, lay north of the McMahon Line. Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, in November 1956, again repeated Chinese assurances that the People’s Republic had no claims on Indian territory, although official Chinese maps showed 120,000 square kilometres (46,000 sq mi) of territory claimed by India as Chinese. CIA documents created at the time revealed that Nehru had ignored Burmese premier Ba Swe when he warned Nehru to be cautious when dealing with Zhou. They also allege that Zhou purposefully told Nehru that there were no border issues with India.
So we can see that even the Burmese premier was more of a statesman than Nehru.
The implication of this all is that the Chinese took Nehru’s “niceties” for weekness and ran roughshod over us. If the story had eneded back then, we would have recovered. But that was not the case.
It’s a shame that even after 60 years of independence India’s masses still believe in the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty rule. National interest was often sacrificed for personal dynastic interests. On many occasions, Nehru sacrificed India’s interests for the sake of international glory for himself.
Mao Tse-tung said “Power flows from the power of the gun.” Nehru believed in Satyadev Jayate, truth shall prevail. From 1950 to 1962, China had given India adequate indications of its intentions but Nehru chose to overlook them, getting carried away by the Bhai-Bhai hype, conciliation machinery of the U.N, non-alignment. Mao had no reciprocal affection for India and never spoke of ‘Chini-Hindi Bhai Bhai’ – or its Chinese equivalent. Far from it, he had only contempt for India and its leaders.
This is what L. K. Advani wrote on his blog: There can hardly be a more glaring instance of Nehruji’s unconcern for the India’s own strategic interests than his refusal to accept a U.S. offer in 1955 of a permanent seat in the U.N. Security Council, till then held by Taiwan. He insisted that the seat be given to China. When Nehru declined to accept the U.S. proposal, his argument was that he did not want U.S. to marginalize China. We thereby only hurt our own interests.
In 2008, a conclave of foreign ministers of BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) was held at Yekaterinburg (Russia). At this conclave Russia pressed that the conclave support India’s plea to secure a permanent place in the U.N. Security Council. Russia’s move did not succeed because it was strongly opposed by China!
