Among the given statements, the following statement is true about the stand of the communist party of India during the India-China war of 1962:

  • One wing of the party supported the Indian Government against the Chinese attack.

  • The main dispute between India and China was about the western and the eastern end of the long border.
  • China claimed two areas within the Indian territory: Aksai-chin area in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir and much of the state of Arunachal Pradesh in what was then called NEFA (North Eastern Frontier Agency).
  • China launched a swift and massive invasion in October 1962 of both the disputed regions.
  • The China war dented India’s image at home and abroad. 
  • Nehru’s own stature suffered as he was severely criticized for his naïve assessment of the Chinese intentions and the lack of military preparedness.
  • For the first time, a no-confidence motion against his government was moved and debated in the Lok Sabha.
  • The Sino-Indian conflict affected the opposition ie the Communist Party of India (CPI) as well.
  • This and the growing rift between China and the Soviet Union created irreconcilable differences within the Communist Party of India (CPI).
  • The pro-USSR faction remained within the CPI and moved towards closer ties with Congress.
  • They supported the Indian Government against the Chinese attack.

Hence, we can conclude that the following statement is true:
