It seems everyone read the headline and no one bothered to read the article. All the comments from Nirupama Rao are standard stuff and someone has really stretched to create that headline. What do you expect our FS to say? That India is weak and unable to defend itself? She said " Don't consider our restraint as weakness". What's wrong with that?
'Despite the provocations we have faced constantly from terrorists whose linkages we have traced back to Pakistani soil, we have not abandoned the path of dialogue,' Rao said in an address Monday at the Woodrow Wilson Centre, a renowned Washington think tank.
'We have, time and again, made genuine attempts to address outstanding issues, most importantly, the issue of terrorism through dialogue with Pakistan,' she said, referring to her meeting in New Delhi with Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir of Pakistan.
Does this sound like war mongering ? Guess this thread speaks volumes about the mindsets of people here and very little about Nirupama Rao's.
