PM Modi Recommends Book Exposing Nehru's Foreign Policy Missteps

Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged opposition MPs to read "JFK's Forgotten Crisis" by Bruce Riedel during a Lok Sabha debate. The book reveals Jawaharlal Nehru's foreign policy shortcomings during the 1962 Sino-Indian War, including his underestimation of Chinese aggression and subsequent plea for US assistance. Modi emphasized the book's insights into Nehru's conversations with President Kennedy during India's crisis, suggesting it exposes "games" played with national security. This recommendation came amid criticism of the government's handling of current India-China border issues, sparking debate on historical foreign policy decisions.
