Why do we remember Jawahar Lal Nehru for the defeat against China, but not for the victory against Portugal, for police action in the state of Hyderabad and Junagadh or for saving 3/4th of Kashmir with India?
But why is his failure during the India-China war highlighted more than his successes?
Perhaps it is because a country's defeat in a war throws its people into a state of shock and grief, making it a more memorable experience. Also, the India-China war was a monumental moment for India, given that it was our first major military confrontation after independence. Therefore, it is natural that this event would leave a greater impact on the nation's collective memory than other events.
