Hi,<p>(apropos to a conversation with Rupak) I am still juggling with the reason for the Pakistani angst over the Agni SR. <p><hr></blockquote><p>Sunil, Thinking about your thoughts.<p>Actually, it may not be as complicated as all that. The Pakis have constantly indulged in a "game" with India. The fact that people (and leaders of nations)can play "games" with each other can be confirmed from several popular books on the subject - written by psychologists - so you don't ned to be a psychologist to realise this.<p>The last line in the Ayaz article is<p> <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr> A powerful response must be given to dissuade the BJP government from its suicidal course.
<hr></blockquote><p>The Paki "game" has constantly been to "match" India with an action that sends signals to two groups:<p>a) To Indian leaders saying that they have no advantage<p>b) To the Pakistani people - telling them that Pakistan can outclass pathetic India in every move.<p>Going back - one finds Pakistan giving a "beftting response" to every Indian action. Pakistan has expected Indian leaders to play this game by the rules, expecting to be able to respond easily and publicly.
