Sir we are talking about CSD here...There was never an official confirmation of it. The only official statement on it is denial of such a policy. Since this has been used as an excuse in the past(as said by you) it is going to be difficult to use it further. This is pure diplomacy and not hypocrisy...
Official confirmation? What are you talking about? May you want that the PM or COAS of yours should have come up and told the world about the nitty gritties of CSD?
Exercising the stuff, the media making money over it and then the game carries on till two front and limited war and you still want the world to get the CSD vetted from your high ups?
Poor!
As far as toning down a bit is then i would request you to not believe in sensational media. Every time a two front war or limited offensive has been talked about it is in reference to defense of the nation during an all out attack on us or a terror strike. So nothing wrong in them as such....
Ah.. such innocence.
These things would have looked guud and credible had you proven Pakistani involvement. Till the time the 'case is under investigation/pending court decision', this all was superfluous.
However, still if your leaders felt itchy they could have done other things like maintaining the breakage in diplomatic relations etc. But going out and howling to bite two countries and shouting out absurd and illogical concepts like Limited War is not called hunting terrorists but aggression.
Man if that's the indian way of showing concerns over a certain issue, i wonder how would you guys keep clam during policy making?
Pressure would be if you see a change in ground. Toning it down mean you are being sensitive about other. As said before there was never an official acknoledgement of such a doctorine, so what we did diplomatically make sense, no????
Your COAS had already reached a point of no return when he gave the two statements (the 2FW and Ltd War). This leaves no room for an 'official endorsement'. So now "what you did 'diplomatically'" surely doesnt make any sense as it was more of something back firing than just changing sides.
Actually i believe the timing was perfect. The way US banned assets of LET, HUD etc just beofre president visit. It is called efforts to sweeten up the process for big tickets items....
These were banned way back and has nothing to do with the current visit.
What matter now is you negating the birth of your baby namely CSD around Obama's visit, thereby accepting the American jobs are more on your mind than the respect of your policy makers and military planners.
Sir let us be honest here. No matter what India do Pakistan's paranoia will not change. Please understand we are happy with the status quo and you are not. So unless and until we are not provoked(by the likes of mumbai) we have no reasons to attack or bully Pakistan....All we are doing is preparing ourself as per the new realities which is there is no chance for a full-fledge war b/w India and Pakistan. kargil is a big proof for that.....we are just working to ensure we have the capacity and capability to punish Pak if political establishment want's to. We are working for that goal. Are we going to suceed or not, only time will tell....However if one goes by the acquisitions that we have over the time and what we are going to have in coming decade, there is ample evidence that we are moving towards that goal....
Sure the 'paranoia' will not change till there are hawks on your side who would keep coming up with CSDs, 2FWs and LWs. Sure our 'paranoia' would just increase in intensity till the time you people will keep faking up terrorist incursions along the LoC/IB and attacks on your soil.
You need to work on these instead of building up the military (the regional power dream), threatening two neighboring countries and becoming an instrument/reason behind total destruction (the CSD).
