Answer 1

The 1962 China War dented India’s image at home and abroad. It induced a sense of national humiliation.

1. India had to ask the United States and Great Britain for armed help.
2. Some of the army’s top leaders quit or were forced to retire.
3. Mr. V. Krishna Menon, who was close to Pandit Nehru and the Defense Minister at the time, had to resign from the government.
4. People didn’t respect Nehru as much because they thought he was too naive about what the Chinese were planning and how poorly the military was preparing.
