Things looked good for India – a country that desperately needed Socialism – but whose population was still mired in a pre-modern religiosity. Even today, following decades of being granted free money and aid from the West – only 10% of Indian’s population is literate – whilst 90% still lives in a state of abject poverty! China’s commitment to Korea meant that conditions were not yet right to liberate Southern Tibet from its Indian invaders during 1951. This campaign would have to wait until 1962 – when Mao Zedong had had enough of Indian arrogance and ignorance – and ordered the PLA into action. I have translated a Chinese-language article about this era in Chinese history and added it as a distinct page (linked above).
