It's actually quite simple and this has been my take since I have been on this forum.
You pick up arms against any republic in the modern world, you are signing your own death sentence. Terrorism has been in focus today more than it has been in the past. If there is freedom movement, it better be non-violent, if it there is violence, the nation has the right to respond.
As I support Pakistan's military movement against Taliban, in the same breathe I support India's actions against terrorists in north and north east and their affiliates elsewhere . If you pick up arms against the Union of India, all Indians in the same breathe will decry decimation of such forces, state or non-state. (with the exception of off course students and teachers of Jawaharlal Nehru University- New Delhi)
