Let’s understand ourselves and let’s get this clear: We’re not world conquerors. We don't covet 'Other Land.' The Chinese know it from way-way behind. As did all shades of India’s rulers. So, how could Jawaharlal Nehru have had a different psyche from that of the rest of India? Fact of the matter is, this psyche hasn’t changed since 1962.
