               17.2.2 : Events of Sino-Indian War

               Now let us see the events that led to the 1962 Sino-Indian war:
                    Chinese maps showed 50,000 sq miles of Indian Territory in Aksai Chin as
                     part of China. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru objected and mentioned it to Chou en
                     Lai the Prime Minister of China during his official visit. China promised to resolve
                     it but did not do so.
                    The construction of roads by China passing through Aksai Chin since 1956 was
                     considered by India as Chinese aggression over India territory.
