Vajpayee’s blunder compounded Nehru’s 1954 mistake in implicitly accepting, in the Panchsheel Treaty, China’s annexation of Tibet, without securing (or even seeking) recognition of the then-existing Indo-Tibetan border. In fact, under the treaty, India forfeited all of the extraterritorial rights and privileges in Tibet that it had inherited from imperial Britain.
瓦杰帕伊的失招加剧了1954年尼赫鲁犯下的错误。尼赫鲁在《潘查希拉条约》（Panchsheel Treaty）中间接接受了中国对西藏的吞并以及不保证（甚至寻求）承认当时的印度-西藏边界。事实上，根据该条约，印度丧失了一切其从大英帝国那里所继承的西藏治外法权和特权。
