I didn't say whether they are right or wrong in their response... but even I as a non-Indian get frustrated by GoI's tip toeing and lack of resolve. If it keep acting this way, it will continue to get the short end of the stick in international relations. This is a world where you have to fight for your own, no one else is going to do it for you.
I fully agree with the bolded part and let me ad that this mentality comes with the growth of a country and its leaders.
The current generation of Indian leaders is still very much viewing the India-China relationships under the shadow of 1962 when Nehru was crying "Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai" (Indians and Chinese are brothers) and suddenly one fine day we find that China has attacked us.
The next generation of Indian leaders will be very very self-confident and then we will see a new assertiveness in India's foreign policy be it with respect to Pakistan, China or the US.
Don't forget, India is nearly 15 years behind China and by that I do not mean only materialistically of development wise but also vis a vis the mentality of the masses. The Chinese and their govt. are much more confident today than they were say 15 years back. Same is the case with Indians and our leaders. We will be a completely different people in nearly a decade's time.
