Can India Be Defended?

There is a saying in India that “Conquerors always come over the mountains.” With the brutal conquest of Tibet, Communist imperialism is poised and ready to exploit the softening up to which it has subjected India almost from the day it achieved its independence in 1947.

Ahmed Din, one of the country’s leading Socialists, long since warned: “Tibet is being prepared as a military base for a military-political offensive against India. Roads are being built linking Tibet with China as well as the Soviet Union, thus making army movements easier. Aerodromes are being built hastily so close to India that Delhi is within easy bombing distance. Hindi is being taught to Chinese soldiers in Tibet; Communist agents are working in our midst in the guise of Buddhist monks.” He might well have added that organizations long established on the Tibetan-Indian frontier, such as the Commercial Academy and the Border Affairs Office, have been utilized as training schools for agents’ and infiltrators, who have penetrated not only India but the neighboring States of Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan.
