abstract
  • Himalayan Blunder was an extremely controversial war memoir penned by Brigadier John Dalvi. It dealt with the causes, consequences and aftermath of the Sino-Indian War of 1962, that ended in Chinese People's Liberation Army inflicting a defeat on India. The title seems to allude to the "Himalayan miscalculation" that Gandhi discusses in his autobiographical article for April 14, 1919, and which retained this title as Chapter 33 in Gandhi's autobiography. Brigadier Dalvi served in the Indian Army and gives a first-person account of the war. The book was banned by the Indian Government after its publication. Because of the book, the term "Himalayan blunder" came to be used as a synonym for colossal failure in the context of Indian politics.[citation needed]
