WAR or No WAR




The heat is on aftermath of Mumbai attacks and tensions building up both sides of India & Pakistan.

Is WAR appropriate at this juncture, when global economy is crumbling and both developing countries end up spending Billions of dollars?

The answer for that is told by our predecessors in ancient epics as Sama ( Peace), Dana (Finance), Bedha (Differentiate) and Danda(WAR).

India has been adopting other methods Sama and Dana for quite some time to appease Pakistanis and some extent our own Kashmiris. Our leaders extended a hand lot of times to make peace and ended up with the last option (War) in the past.

But It looks like Pakistanis never learnt from this....it always becomes emotional when things come up with India. Why do not they learn from Germans, Koreans...who fought wars, but today they are one country. of course Pakistan cut their umbilical chord about 60 years ago from India.

The strategy adopted by India is absolutely right at this juncture, create bedha....show how different is Pakistan administration and put global pressure on it till it recedes. The only way to avoid war is to use sanctions against Pakistan, the already crippled country can not take much and would or hope that they would eradicate terrorism from state sponsorship.
