Prime Minister Modi Fumbles on Pakistan

[my2cents]

If anything, Modi's tough line and less than friendly overtures are strengthening Pakistan's soft image abroad, a feat that our own government has repeatedly failed at. For the first time in three decades, Pakistan is being seen as the country that wants peace and India as the instigator of regional tensions.

How would you characterize our stance if we invited Baloch separatists to New Delhi?? We can play the same game too...

If you want peace, accept LOC as defacto border and move on. Just other day Afghanistan envoy had some nice words about you guys.

Pakistan has no clue about projecting its soft power. If anything Pakistan is perceived more and more has troubled nation with internal strife and turmoil.

Ok once we stop talking then do what??? I know the talks are not yielding results, But not talking is not gonna help either....

If Talking and Not Talking are yielding same result , I prefer Not Talking .

Time saved can be used for other usefull purposes .

Once we stop talking we take actions that will bring them back begging for talks.

India's soft image has been its greatest success so far, it symbolizes everything 'Zen' despite its problems. It would be India's greatest mistake to think that the soft image is hurting their possibilities.

Icarus please, like its said in military 'never disturb yr enemy when its making a mistake' Hope u get my point and be more careful in future.

Unless Pakistan stops using their soil for terrorist activities and uphold ceasefire agreement , talking with them is useless ..... it will yield nothing .

The world only remembers too well how and why until recently Modi was repeatedly denied Visa to US and other countries, it was a chance for him to prove himself as a statesman rather than just pleasing a particular sect of his society..... world also knows that Pakistan has always favoured peaceful negotiations and never played musical chairs for holding dialogue. !!

Maybe we can go a step further and encourage them to make more mistakes.......... help the army stage another coup perhaps ?

Modi's cancellation of talks is the exact opposite of a fumble, widely applauded everywhere, except it seems on NYTimes.

The real reason why India scuttled Pakistan talks - Rediff.com India News
Look at this one, he says the decision was based of an "rss diktat", and connects it to article 370........ And this guy used to be our Pakistani Ambassador.

LOL.....why would Modi try to prove anything for the World ? ............ the only people who matter to him and who vote for him is right here in India

That is the ONLY constituency he need to serve and please.
