Losing credibility is when you claim blood during elections and then go and start hugging NS as soon as election is won and are in a hurry to visit all the countries which personally banned NM's visit.
I think all of us have been on BRF for enough number of years to separate chaff and not indulge in mindless criticism but wasn't everyone throwing a spin on how Pakis have been thappadofied by cancellation of Talks and that FS visit was in context of SAARC and they will think thrice before engaging terrorists from Hurry-rat.
I think the reality is that India, under whatever government, has limited maneuverability with Pakistan. We can try to tweak the talk-no talk dial for short term control, do a limited hit back for overt attacks and that's about it. I personally prefer a near-permanent state of no-contact and unremitting diplomatic hostility. But Modi has always said he is for talks, except not under the shadow of the gun. He did take the initiative to invite NS first. "Not under the shadow of the gun" is a broadly flexible condition, leaving him room to tweak the talk-notalk dial.
So, when you say he is losing credibility, you are only judging him by a rigid promise that exists only in your imagination. It is understandable for his political and personal enemies to play that game, but here? The Hurriat thappadification was BRF lungi dance and/or paki-lover rona-dhona only, but modi sarkar only repeated, in essence, we won't talk under the gun.
MJ Akbar's article, linked by A_Gupta, suggests that Modi's SAARC-based development initiative has lots of interlocking moving parts, which make it impossible to charge straight ahead with any one agenda. It is like a chessboard in the middle game stage. Modi is dialing down the tension with Pakistan (after giving them a taste of dialed-up tension from India's side) because he thinks that is the right move at this point.
India's consensus Pakistan strategy has always been to tweak the talk-notalk dial and hope Pakistan changes its nature. Modi cannot invent any new capabilities or levers. Like MMS, but not like me, he believes in giving pakistan a chance to change itself.
The difference that Modi brings is (compared to MMS) that this same policy is now framed within a serious SAARC development agenda, designed to minimize the paki veto which has paralyzed previous efforts by India.
image of Pakistan, he is busy indulging himself in Anti- Islamic activities like alcohol drinking, sexual harrasement and the list goes on and on.....
