Gwadar, now Pakistan's, was offered to India in 1950s
Oman offered to sell Gwadar, then a small fishing village, to India in the 1950s. The government led by Jawaharlal Nehru declined the offer, and Pakistan in 1958 bought it for three million pounds. This is the story of how Gwadar, now a strategic port, could have been India's and why Nehru might have turned down the offer.
