talking.com, an online oral history of the South Asian
diasporas, run by a non-profit-making organisation has
come across a rare interview of India’s first Prime
Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru that he had given to a
Kenyan journalist of Indian origin during the Chinese
war of 1962.
Asked to throw light on the future of Panchsheel —
the policy of peaceful coexistence with China — during
the interview, Nehru cryptically said, "throwing
light is now difficult, as the Chinese have spread
darkness all over."
"How can I throw light on Panchsheel. By this
war they have totally acted against the spirit of
Panchsheel. It cannot take place in the air or cannot be
implemented by one side alone. If the Chinese don’t
want to follow Panchsheel, it’s finished," he
said.
The interview was recorded by Chaman Lal Chaman.
He was specially deputed by the director general of
the Kenyan broadcasting corporation, Patrick Jubb, from
Kenya to cover the war.
