Indian's Prove efficiency in war with China in the Past
China and India share a long border, sectioned into three stretches by Nepal and Bhutan which follows the Himalayan Mountains between Burma and what was then East Pakistan. A number of disputed regions lie along this border. The eastern border, between Burma and Bhutan, comprises the present Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh (formerly the North East Frontier Agency). Both of these regions were overrun by China in the 1962 conflict.
Two of the major factors leading up to China's eventual conflicts with Indian troops were India's stance on the disputed borders and perceived Indian subversion in Tibet. There was "a perceived need to punish and end perceived Indian efforts to undermine Chinese control of Tibet, Indian efforts which were perceived as having the objective of restoring the pre-1949 status quo ante of Tibet" The other was "a perceived need to punish and end perceived Indian aggression against Chinese territory along the border..
At the end of the war, memorials were erected for the Indian troops who died in the war. Arguably, the main lesson India learned from the war was the need to strengthen its own defences and a shift from Nehru's foreign policy with China based on his stated concept of "brotherhood".
Because of India's inability to anticipate Chinese aggression, Prime Minister Nehru faced harsh criticism from government officials, for having promoted pacifist relations with China. Indians in general became highly sceptical of China and its military. Many Indians view the war as a betrayal of India's attempts at establishing a long-standing peace with China. The war also put an end to Nehru's earlier hopes that India and China would form a strong Asian Axis to counteract the increasing influence of the Cold War bloc superpowers.

Even if the Pakistani claim that the Indians lost more aircraft is accepted, does it suggest that the Pakistanis won the air war? The answer is a clear no. Because war, in the ultimate analysis, is not a numbers game, winning a war has to do with achieving clear objectives. For the Indian Air Force, the aim was twofold: first, to prevent the Pakistan Air Force from messing with the Indian Army's advances, logistics and launching points; and second, to seriously impair Pakistan's capacity to wage war. The Pakistan Air Force's job was to do the opposite. The pre-emptive air strikes on 3rd December were aimed at knocking out a good part of the Indian Air Force while it was on the ground. This failed for the simple reason that the Indians had learnt their lessons of the 1965 war and had constructed fortified pens and bunkers to store their aircraft. More important, young IAF fliers proved they had the grit to go out and fight, even if it meant losing one's life.
Mumbai – The Central “turning point of peace and war”
War with terrorism and Peace with neighbours, would it be possible if the threat comes from the neighbours land, its time for India to act, and rather engage in lame talks with no positive outcome. Should all countries face terrorism bring the terrorists to Justice, well its time for the both countries to act now.
