Faced with an intense public pressure, government might soon make public the classified war records pertaining to 1962 Sino-Indian war and 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak conflicts.
"A committee to review the publication of war histories, constituted by the government, has given its recommendations," Defence Minister AK Antony said in Lok Sabha on Monday.
In a written reply, the Minister said: "The recommendations of the committee are being considered for arriving at a final decision on the issue."
Though the government has come out with an official history of the 1948 Indo-Pak war, it is yet to make public the classified records of 1962 war with China and 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak conflicts.
If the government takes a positive decision then it would be for the first time that the Henderson Brook report which went into the Indian Army debacle would be thrown open to public scrutiny.
