Diet of mud and despair in Indian village

Nehru diverted all available funds to building dams, industries, education etc. but neglected the Indian army.
China attacked India in 1962 and captured thousands of kilometers of India. People felt humilated & Nehru lost all credibility thereafter.

If Pakistan had attacked India in 1962 - They would have captured whole of Kashmir. Unfortunately for Pakistan, they waited too long and attacked in 1965 - by that time it was too late, Indian Army had been restructured, funds diverted from Investment and put in the Army.

So the crux of the matter is, that if it was not for the land grab & expansionist attitude of Pakistan & China, India would have merrily been spending all its funds to better the lot of its population.

If you would give up your occupation of Kashmir, then you would be shooting two birds with one stone. You would eliminate the prime source of all grievances against India, hence less need to spend on defense. And as Janab-e-Ali posted up there, you would have more money diverted to the betterment of your own people, who actually want to be Indian, as opposed to wasting it on the forced occupation of those who dont want you.
