How is india a loser ? What is that pakistan can do at the best ,conduct more terrorist attacks ? India has been there and seen it all. Pak sponsored terror attacks is not going to stop India growing economically. Pakistan can continue to be obsessed with kashmir and keep conducting terror attacks. We have enough muscle and money power to see them through. As pakistan rears more snakes in there backyard to bite india they will come to roost one or the other day.
Its a war of attrition keep dreaming on of coveting kashmir. Even bangladesh is in better financial state than pakistan now.
For a country which boasts of fighting "war on terrorism" , pathetically runs away from having dialogue on terrorism. It simply shows which way war on terrorism is going on.
You are not reading it right. Before I start, I should mention, that terrorism should never be an option for the Pakistanis or for the Indians to use. But, both do it to each other.
Next, here's the real issue: Modi was high on soup-o-powa soup. And I don't say this rudely, I mean it in a political way. You need to read my post objectively and not just be an Indian or a Pakistani, and debate based on facts with me and others. This was his way to show three things:
1) An upper hand to project India as a BIG powa, who always has a final say and control the flow of all issues.
2) To show Pakistan that India's decisions matter and the world will side by India due to her size, growing power and economy (as he'd take these foreign trips to shore up overwhelming support against Pakistan).
3) To avoid being the direct recipient of proofs of the Indian involvement in Baluchistan and all. Because that would mean, there is no upper hand and the game is being played on equal terms as both are "officially" doing these crazy acts to each other. By avoiding talks and not receiving proofs to even check them out, the thought was to show the Pakistanis that from the Indian side, "go to hell" and "so-be-it", you-do, we-do type of a message.
But the problem he's ran into has given him three major results. And its a diplomatic failure. Someone in India made the wrong calls, or Modi didn't ask or seek professional opinion on how this would go. Someone didn't calculate the flow of arrows in the real direction.
1) The upper hand Modi thought he had, isn't there. On the borders, innocents are getting killed. India and Pakistani forces fire and retaliate mortar for mortar and shell for shell!!! The terrorist attacks, still haven't proved out to be a "Pakistani case" (at least I've not seen any reports where the GPS data was analyzed by the US and US gave official analysis at the government level that Pakistan was involved).
If there was an official report from the US, then it will tell the truth about who was involved from the Pakistani side and if that's the case, what was the origin (like location of the city where the attackers came from and even when the GPS was first connected to the Satellite, which if you believe Pakistan was involved, had to happen, way inside Pakistan).
2) Modi went to the UAE and to Saudia and talked to the US, etc. Where he clearly outlined his wish to engage Pakistan in a limited conflict. He wasn't welcomed over it. In fact, everyone said NO. The UAE allowed basic shared statements that anyone would say (and I say it on here three times a day that we should all be against terrorism and let everyone believe in their religion and live like humans). So UAE's statement wasn't focused on Pakistan.
Many meanings can be extracted out of those. I've seen someone say on here that the Arab prince had no choice, out of respect for a big country's PM, he HAD to stand with Modi, otherwise, he didn't want to be there, let alone hug and kiss Modi.
3) The US, Iran (India's shinny new BFF), Saudia, China, and others have told India to back off of the war mongering that the Indian media was projecting. In fact, the Washington Post and the NY Times BOTH published serious analysis warning India that it would bear significant loss if it attacked Pakistan, even in conventional terms (overall results, not how much of Pakistani jets would be taken down by mighty SU's and all, please refrain from derailing this, the cost of something is calculated at an aggregate level).
So where did the above leave Modi and his government? NOTHING came out of it. 0 results and an international foreign policy disaster to even show support against Pakistan. Not even one nation's Foreign Minister has TWEETED against Pakistan. Let alone making big statements on the world media.
Now had he been talking to the Pakistanis, he could've talked to them, show them frustration (if he had the real proofs that Pakistan was behind these), and even a threat or two could've been made that look, if these issues happen again, we'll have to go to the UN and a war might break out. But how do you have that discussion when the other party will repeat the SAME thing to you, will hand you a file and will say, take care of your RAW's training camps first?????
So the point is, there is NO point in going across the globe, hugging, kissing young prince, calling the US and the UK and hearing the same NO. What would matter the MOST to 1.5 billion poor people of the world is that both parties talk, and get into the habit of talking and resolving differences. Hell, yell and curse at each other in the room, and when things calm down, then resume talks and make progress. India needs safety to focus on her economy and Pakistan needs the same. A few "hawks" on each side are fukking this up and 1.5 billion poor people don't have to accommodate a few hawks on each side!!!
Talking will get you both somewhere, punching will only get you to a hospital!!!
............ their govt. is no better.
