India to Send Full Brigade to Congo War for UN Survival
New Delhi defense minister V K Krishna Menon announced that India will deploy about 5,000 troops to the Congo to defend the United Nations. He said the decision marks a reversal of neutrality and aims to strengthen UN peace efforts while urging UN reform under Moscow's influence. At a round table in Tananarive, Congolese leaders warned India’s entry could heighten tensions. UN officials in New York said seven more Asian and African nations may contribute 2,000 troops. Menon outlined a self sufficient Indian brigade under an Indian brigadier and non Indian UN command. He argued a UN defeat would threaten peace and global security and warned of potential anarchy and racial conflict. He noted the Congo situation prompted the reversal of India’s neutralist policy and emphasized the need for change.
