Description

A walking encyclopaedia... this man has witnessed events that we consider history. Met him while doing a story on government's reluctance in de-classifying 1962 India China war records, specifically the Henderson-Brooks report. Link to my story: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL7-mUVENhA" rel="nofollow">www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL7-mUVENhA</a>

He suggests that the current government is sitting on suggestions to de-classify those documents to protect the head of the state at that time. Many veterans of the war and those who have read the report say that there was massive incompetence that led to the war's commencement... and more Indians died of cold than from enemy bullets.

Kuldip / Kuldeep Nayar started his career as an Urdu Journalist. His mother tongue is Urdu. He has been a reporter, creditor, detenu during the Indian Emergency (1975 - 77), high commissioner to Great Britain, peacenik and Rajya Sabha member. He served as India's high commissioner to the United Kingdom in 1990 and then a member of India's delegation to the United Nations in 1996.

He was appointed High Commissioner to Great Britain in 1990 and nominated to upper house of Indian Parliament, Rajya Sabha in August, 1997.
