Henderson Brooks Report

This report is based on an investigative commission that conducted an Operations Review of the Indian Army in the 1962 Sino-Indian War. Being of importance even presently and given the situation we face with the Chinese, keeping this report classified seems justifiable enough to me. The report is really insightful as it delves into nitty-gritty details using simplistic language. Thus it paints the entire scenario beautifully. Simultaneously, it has taken care to be detailed enough. I acknowledge Neville Maxwell for leaking this report out, thereby giving me the opportunity to read the literature of such significance

My notes are based on the reports. There are some problems with the scanning of the report, in the sense that Maxwell had scanned and uploaded it. This has made several pages and texts in several places illegible. Also, the report goes through many battles, therefore, containing names of many places. If one is not accustomed to the geography of the region then it becomes really difficult to follow through the report. So, in my notes, I have presented all the information in a crisp format while trying not to miss any relevant information. Concurrently, I have tried to be careful not to alter any implications of the statements in the report. Moreover, to enhance the understanding of the scenarios at play, I have added screenshots using google maps marking geographies and arena's as mentioned in the report and complementing the text through visual guidance. My only request to you while reading the report is to read it will all the seriousness (for all individuals directly or indirectly involved) because the report is not written with black ink, it's with the sacrificed red! #Respect_the_red
