The US wanted to assist Tibetan resistance movements through supplies of weapons, but could not do so because Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru refused to permit such items from being transported through India.

Effort to create the bogey of “Hindu terror” was to “provide a camouflage net for the activities of domestic terror groups owing allegiance to the ISI & also to make Muslims distrust Hindus”. Another objective was to make other countries “as suspicious of 🇮🇳 as they were of 🇵🇰”.
