^^ It's the leaders call to go for a fight and the population follows their action. Has their been any indication of cowardice exhibited by population at large for no war effort ever in India?
Blame the leadership and not the people.

Establishing a military foothold with the permission of Afghanistan Govt is one way to go. Squeeze the Pakis from the other side as well.

shiv saar, probably we haven't seen an instance of calmness leading to action so far, hence the dejection. Hopefully this is the first time, the fire and brimstone is in the action, not words or emotion.

Thanks prasannasimha and Amber G.

Amber G, due to the temperature ( and possibily to the salt) what exactly is the state it is in? IIRC there are multiple stages in water state.
