“Nehru stuck to his Communist sympathies even when the Communists insulted him as Prime Minister with their unbridled scatology. Nehru was too British and too bourgeois to opt for a fully authoritarian socialism, but like many European Leftists he supported just such regimes when it comes to foreign policy. Thus Nehru's absolute refusal to support the Tibetans even at a diplomatic level when they were overrun by the Chinese army(a Far-Eastern Munich) cannot just be attributed to circumstances or the influence of his collaborators; his handover of Tibet to Communist China was quite consistent with his own political convictions.”
