Large number of broken references
I commented out a very large number of broken references for "Garver", "Calvin" as well as ones for "Guruswamy" and "VKSingh". Seems that the first two would be of great value if they could be found again. Ogre lawless (talk) 22:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I've added the Garver reference to the main document. The link is also shown below. Ouyuecheng (talk) 16:09, 25 December 2009 (UTC) http://www.scribd.com/doc/19480031/China-India-War-1962


 * Provided a direct link to U of Harvard plus book citation for Garver - now we need page numbers for commented-out citations, which I assume were not present in the first place. Cheers, Rayshade (talk) 22:56, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

The events that led to the Sino-Indian War in 1962 may be said to reach back to mid-19th century when the then Chinese inperial power went into decline and Tibet increasingly asserted its independence under successive Dalai Lamas. There are numerous references to these events and developments as documented by Alastair Lamb ("British India and Tibet 1766-1910", Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1960/1986), H.E. Richardson ("Tibet and its History", Oxford University Press, 1962), Margaret Fisher et al ("Himalayan battleground", Frederick A. Praeger Inc., 1945), L. Petech ("China and Tibet in early 18th Century", E.J. Brill, Leiden, 1950) and others.Pidiji (talk) 01:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Maxwell claptrap
I have removed this line from the article sourced to Neville Maxwell:

(I suppose the citation is wrong and the editor wanted to cite Maxwell's book.) The statement is the usual cherry-picked claptrap from Maxwell and is not directly relevant to the topic of this article. Parshotham Mehra says in a book review:

We see this selective cherry-picking here. Maxwell, who covered India throughout the 1950s as a BBC journalist, surely knew that Sikkim was a protectorate of India and Bhutan was a protected state of India. With some discretion, he might have also known how to distinguish between what is shown as part of India and what is shown in relation to India, like the map on the right here. But informing his readers of such niceties is not part of his plan.

Nor does he want to tell any truths remotely resembling these:

Hmm... Ladakhis as well. Oh, my!

I count 26 citations to Maxwell on this page, roughly 20% of all citations. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 01:18, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
