What options INDIA is left with?

Date : 26 November 2008
Time: 2130 hrs
10 terrorsits from Pakistan started from Karachi and got down in Mumbai and attacked Nariman house, CST , Taj hotel and Trident Hotel. It took 52 hours for our commondos' to kill all these anti-social elements trained in Pakistan by LeT and sanitize the place. These terrorists were equipped with latest arms and ammunitions. Out of 10 only one was captured alive. That was the only good thing that happened in those 52 hours. Has all the 10 would have been killed in the operation India would have left with no concrete evidence against Pakistan. Even then Paksitan has denied any involvement in Mumbai carnage stating them to be "stateless" actors.


Though the world is more than sure that Pakistan is the breeding ground for such terrorism and LeT is no less than Osama's Al-Qaida. India which had shown much resilience during the attack on Parliament could not take anymore. India stalled its Peace talk which Pakistan wanted to continue. Pakistan has been playing such cards since the days of Mushraff. They show the world that they want peace with India and are willing to carry on the peace process but in dark there army trains unemployed youth to carry out attackes in India in the name of Jihad.

If Pakistan is so much willing to have peace with India why does not it hand over the 20 terrorists India has asked for? The fact is the democratic government in Pakistan is weak and incompetent and Army makes the call. It seems very likely that democratic government will be thrown out by the army any time soon. The president and PM of Pakistan have no powers which can be clearly understood from different version of offical statements released by Pakistan government regarding ISI chief to be sent to India to presence of Massod Azhar in Pakistan.

Pakistan on the other hand has never accepted that the 10 terrorists were Pakistanis or had any connection with Pakistan. It has even denied Presence of Massud Azhar on Pakistan soil though it had confirmed earlier, that he was taken under house arrest. Pakistan has so far claimed that it is also a victim of terrorsim like India but when it comes to crack down on them it has never done enough. Recently when Taliban's second in command said that they will fight along with Pakistan against any agression from India it indicates that Pakistan and Taliban are on the same side. Paksitan as has been constantly pulling out the card of using nuclear weapon which was never been the case between any two nuclear capable countries confrontation.

All in all Pakistan is the weakest link in world security and a threat to Universal peace and harmony.
Now the question arises What options are left with India to give a befitting reply?

Many suggest that India should declare full-fledged war against Pakistan. But both counties being Nuclear tipped this will cause chaos in the sub-continent. The only country to benefit from such a condition will be China.

Others think that India Air Force should strike terrorsits camp in PoK and elsewhere. And then launch Ground operation to clear them all. But this is possible only with the co-opertaion of International community.

Also, India can adopt a strategy similiar to Pakistan. Wage a PROXY war againgt terrorist outfits getting trained in camps in PoK. But for sure this is a very long term process and may take years to wipe out terrorism from Pakistan completely.

India has to act now. We can tolerate no more nonsense from this non sense neighbours of ours. If an attack on Pakistan means that the democracy will be overthrown and army rule comes back, that should not be a concern to India. Anyways the populist government has been a puppet in the hands of Pakistan army and has done no favour to India in any respect. We have seen that even after handing over so many evidences against the stateless actors from Pakistan, pressure from International community to crack the terror outfits, Pakistan has not taken a single concrete step that could be taken as a response to improve the bilateral relationship. Pakistan is not worthy enough to have any relationship with India, so bring an end to it.
Cut water supply from J&K and Punjab to Pakistan.
Demand for all the terrorists to be handed over to India that too with a deadline of one month. Prepare special troops to engage Pakistan in Proxy war it has started, within Pakistan.
Not let Pakistan get sympathies and portray itself as a victim.
War should last resort but then wipe it off completely and occupy all the strategic locations within Paksitan so that the border is no more porous for any kind of intrusion.
