On NDTV, the great diplomat KC Singh says that Pakistan with it's NSA who has been a foreign minister as well as finance minister can't talk only terror, unlike India where a policeman is masquerading as a NSA. This guy is really going overboard Not very surprising. "Ambassador" KC Singh ...

For the paki mind, even "not talking " will be taken as a measure of their self-importance. See, we are so important that India is afraid to talk. We can't get into the game of trying to control how pakis feel about themselves vis-a-vis India. We need to figure out what our interests / go...

what if we keep Talking but give them what they Deserve

well, we can do that without talking too. Why is that not possible?

Tuvaluan

R. Jagannathan says, keep talking but give nothing.

The problem with this point of view is that it fails to comprehend that even talking with the pakis gives them the "parity" that they crave, and that is enough for pakis. So ignoring pakis completely is the minimal effective response.

So you are accusing that Indian Muslims & Christians don't respect Constitution if it goes against their religion. But somehow Secularism, included, added by an emergency govt must be honored by Hindus. No, but perhaps they are your thoughts? (they are not mine). Fact is constitution cannot ban...

Tuvaluan

It is simply infeasible to make changes in the constitution outlawing certain religions -- a far better option is to remove the clause that makes it a criminal act to "offend religious sentiments", but this is all OT. Unless one does not comprehend the meaning of national interest, one wou...

How secure is this technology? How hard would it be to duplicate cards? The cards are irrelevant.

Since Pakistan's policy is determined by control over Afghanistan and access to Central Asia, it is exactly here that countries which feel cut out should focus their attention. It is here that the interests of USA, Gulf countries, Afghanistan and India converge. That is incorrect -- USA has no inte...

n Dubai, Modi invited Pakistan to choose: lay down its cards or keep playing a bluffing game (Actually bluffing only themselves) with a poor hand. Maybe, just maybe, pakis will find the wisdom to make the right choice, this time. After all, it has never been presented to them in quite this way befo...

Pretty clear that paki intent is to not be seen as the one cancelling talks, going by how they are inviting the hurriyat again, hoping the GoI will cancel talks this time too. This whole talks route with pakis is futile, as the paki army/govt. perceives that the cost of committing terrorism and nuis...

So I am quite certain that when PM Modi gives in somewhere, it is because he is getting something more somewhere else. Strategy should not be viewed at the individual two-body game level. In a crude quantitative way, assign some value number to each of India's important relationships. Each action I...
