@abhishek it is the type of micro analysis done by your types which emasculated the country and leads to paralysis in decision making. We therefore are always at receiving end. Do countries like USA or Rusdia and now China bother when hard decisions have to be taken. I am not advocating war but am stating that if necessary we have to act strong even go for war of we are constantly harmed by an insensitive neighbor. I surely expect the PM to act in case of such provocation. Am I wrong in doing so.
Micro-analysis???
Your type aren't capable of thinking out even half of the "long-term analysis" that I have provided.
Living in India, by now you might've realized that decision making in a democracy tends to be slow. You want critical decision to be passed without any hiccups, you go and live under an authoritarian regime. Then we'll see how much you enjoy the 'fast decision making'.
Talking about hard decisions taken by US, China, those were against the likes of Syria, Iraq and ISIS. Pakistan is NOT like any one of them. Our decision makers don't act like- "Hey, I saw the news today, Pakistan violated ceasefire again. Let's drop a SPICE bomb from a Sukhoi on Islamabad." Things don't work this way.
That surgical strike is the closest we can get to a befitting reply. A more aggressive move than that would not be good for either of the two countries.
There is NO long era of peace after a war (though it might be one of your absurd fantasies).
India is the 3rd most powerful army in the world. It is fully capable of going into a war with Pakistan. But between a bloody war and a peaceful settlement, there is no choice. We have to go for a peaceful solution to this problem.
I too want my leaders to be strong. But the only war that countries nowadays can afford is the 'war of words'.
