Bring back indira gandhi and impose emergency but many people didn't like that either.
Do we fool ourselves by saying that.Self restraint and no war mongering attitude is a good thing but increasingly i think we are adopting a defeatist attitudeIs India a soft state? No, we are a tolerant state. The day the limit is crossed, the world will witness a resurgent India.
This attitude amongst us has clocked 9% growth, whereas our neighbor is among the Top 10 failed states. War is never a solution. Only scavengers win their lunch during wars.Do we fool ourselves by saying that.Self restraint and no war mongering attitude is a good thing but increasingly i think we are adopting a defeatist attitude
Why? Russia took South Ossetia and Abkhazia. US didn't do shit. You just have to stand up for yourself. If it leads to a shooting war, be prepared and win it.Agree with you completly, but its impossible now in this age. Otherwise China would have taken Taiwan much earlier.
Not necessarily, but you need to be prepared and not to back down. It is often a game of chicken.Huh ....You mean we need to do another war to reverse the trend.
Weak leaders are an integral part of weak power.Not example of weak power.. example of weak system or governance.
I don't see India getting any great concessions from the West. They sign $20 billion in deals with France and gain practically no leverage on us. Now they just become more reliant on nuclear trade.Only exception is China , even with a hard stance we wont be able to do it due to past history and level of trust.
Is that why India and China work several African plantations and mines? You are the new colonial era.We dont need to and we are not supposed to. We are not colonists.
Same answer. We are not in British era anymore..
If India is determined hard or soft by its procurement policy, I am again going to have to say soft.Defense preparedness. It does nt mean every weapon we buy must be used.. like buying fire crackers in diwali.
Nobody talks about Kashmir because people don't want to upset everything, not just India but Pakistan and China.Yes they talks , because they are part of the problem. i was talking about other nations. What is the relavance of Angola.. In a global scenario , we usually look at the opinions of major powers only. ( Do we have a face palm smiley here..Lol)
US doesn't care if China aids Pakistan... why would they? It is obvious why India cares about both aiding Pakistan and they don't do anything about it even though they have great economic clout to do so. That is again why India is soft.We are not good at target assacinations,
Agree with hanging kasab ASAP,
Taxing chinese goods is also a good idea even banning is also good, but we cant dictate them to stop aiding Pakistan militarily, even US cant do that.. does that mean US is also soft power?
If you have to send PoK and LoC forces back to where they came from, so be it. Let India stand strong over her own interests.yes pick up the gun and lets follow what Iraq did in Kuwait..and act tough..
If they wanna do politics they can find 1000 faults even on a policy created for free education!!! And we do have a great number of dumb supporters for them who doesn't think about any logic....Bring back indira gandhi and impose emergency but many people didn't like that either.
