Explanation

John Kenneth Galbraith was a prominent Canadian-American economist and diplomat who served as the United States Ambassador to India from 1961 to 1963 under President John F. Kennedy [t1][t3][t7]. During his tenure, he developed a close relationship with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and played a significant role in navigating Indo-US relations during the 1962 Sino-Indian War [t7]. In recognition of his immense contributions to strengthening ties between India and the United States, the Government of India conferred upon him the Padma Vibhushan, the country's second-highest civilian award, in 2001 [t1][t4][t5]. The award was presented to him at his home by the then Indian Ambassador to the US, Lalit Mansingh, on behalf of President K.R. Narayanan [t3]. Consequently, both statements regarding his diplomatic service and his receipt of the Padma Vibhushan are historically accurate.
