I find these cartoons highly insensitive and disrespectful to Indian Army. We always have followed a "No First Strike" policy and the violation of ceasefire was unprovoked , i am sure the soldiers at the border replied well- like that is in the protocol . We are not aware of how much damage our shell firing would have caused , so these images just brings down Indian Army.
What do people expect, that we go for War with Pak? I am sure that sounds preposterous.This is a very sensitive matter and more than any political party GOI has to behave appropriately.
SAARC and the searing-in gesture was part of a diplomatic build-up in a region where India doesn't enjoy any friendly relationship. it was a photo-op and nothing more.
For a long term solution it is important India maintain communication channels with both Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
China is capitalizing on dwindling India's influence in the region and has penetrated via trade into Sri Lanka and Burma .Not to forget- Nepal. We are not in a position to hard-line with these countries , or they might align with China. For a greater influence India needs diplomatic and economic ties with countries like Sri lanka.
@Ramdev scribe- if anyone read the new political scenario then we can see Ramdev is isolated by Modi. I won't read too much into this. It is not uncommon for journos to meet terrorists , sometimes they are used as messengers.
Foreign Policies don't change overnight, would rather wait for full term to be over to analyse this govt.
What is important is how this govt handles insurgencies and strengths homeland security. Good diplomatic win for Sushma by getting Indians out of Iraq and now Libya.
Modi pre-poll was an Opposition leader now he is PM , needs to be sensible and responsible.
