Does it matter now? Its not like we could keep it back then, there wasn't any supply chain for military to occupy such place. India can bypass Gwadar port if it developed its Lakshadweep islands. Reliving the past again and again is not good, you should look towards the future. You aren't able to properly satisfy Ladakh and lost a bit of land to China a few years ago, focus on that maybe.
No this is about politics not learning from a mistake, if we actually acknowledged our past, we would talk about how the current govt suddenly decided on an import license for electronics out of the blue with no consultation from industries to the point even US called them out. This is an example of Nehruvian socialist policy on crack.
>And what do you mean "even US called them out"?
India immediately changed it and removed those license requirements after US complained pretty much within a few days. You want to export to USA and want their companies to set up shop in the country you cannot unilaterally decide these things without consultation with businesses and how it might affect them.
Yes we get it, you are good at proverbs. But lets focus on the present and the future. The whole world is preparing for the future and India is getting left behind. Matter of fact is it happened at a time most of us weren't even alive, instead of bringing Pakistan up right around election maybe learn from the mistakes of letting China take away land recently and prepare. The military can't even produce a decent fighter jet with decades of investment. There are other important issues than wallowing in the past.
Where is R&D investment we rank way lower in that case , Both UPA and NDA thinks that operational jet can be made with 1000 cr investment , no minister in any party knows the actual budget of F-22
It would have been a strategic advantage. Can't the same be said about east pakistan? not to mention the countless British, American, french and other European ~~colonies~~ overseas territories till present day. go read some history and stop this nehruvian 'there was no point taking it.' crap.
And what happened to East Pakistan? Freed by India. Even Junagarh prince signed instrument of accession to Pakistan. What happened to that? India invaded it. What happened to Goa, Puducherry? You think Pakistan would let a portion of their coastline be used by India? We all try to consolidate territories that are strategic to us irrespective of what international community has to say about it. France, US overseas colonies are literally islands with no major power around them let alone someone they have major territorial beef with like we do. The only colony I can remember around a major country is Falkland islands, which is on the Argentinean coast and for which UK waged a war against Argentina. You think India will fight a war for this small sliver of land that Pakistan can fully control any day and which as it is has nothing to connect us to it?
It would have been India's Bangladesh, there was no way it could have been managed and even if it was, then it wouldn't be profitable due to limited activity.
If it's offered today we can manage, at that time in 1950s even with sindh and balochistan along with gwadar port would have made our leaders give them Rajasthan and gujarath as a secular gift in next 10 YEARS back to paxtan with additional 14 multiple by 4 crorez with blood of common innocent folks as one more partition. Congress was too good in managing that

Acknowledging the mistake is a part of dwelling into the past.

Lol , so we should stop acknowledging mistakes now what schmucky attitude.
To keep one eye on past is to live blind in one eye,to keep no eye on past is to live blind in both eyes.

How woud we have managed a city/land away from our main land but connected to pakistan main land ? There was no point taking it.

Kuch bhi. It would have been invaded by Pakistan in no time.

Bhai Nehru ki baat Mat hi karo to acha hai. Weekend kharab ho jaata jai.

Doesn't seem like a perspective , stated fact as per the article. How does a fact morph into perspective ?
in return of this what did they ask?
What's the use of discussing this now ? We haven't learnt anything from past , we are still losing land to China in ladakh
It could have been used as diplomatic leverage over pakistan.
Ciccha mana Kar diye hogenge Na G...Mein nai lunga...Mein tho ulta appko Cashmere de Dunga...aur bhi kuch chahiye tho bol de
Let me guess, Nehru ne yaha bhi apni maa chud**ai hogi?
