The India of 2017 is different from what it was in 1962, defence minister Arun Jaitley asserted on Friday, hitting out at China for asking the Indian Army to learn from “historical lessons”. “If they are trying to remind us, the situation in 1962 was different and India of 2017 is different,” Jaitley said when asked about China’s warning yesterday. It warned that the Indian Army should learn “historical lessons”. “I think after this the issue has become very clear,” Jaitley said. The Indian Army had blocked construction of the road by China in Donglong, a disputed territory between China and Bhutan.
