Sir — This refers to the article, “Nehru’s pacifism had nearly cost us Tawang” (November 20) by Claude Arpi. The picture of India and its progress thereof would have been different had it not been for stalwarts as Jairamdas Daulatram and Major Bob Khathing, who followed orders in favour of India. Jawaharlal Nehru was an international figure then, but his interpretation of peace was flawed in respect of Kashmir and the borders in Assam.
