WHAT SHOULD BE INDIAN RESPONSE TO 26/11 ?
War with Pak: Yes
There is no way Pakistan govt will help finding perpetrators of any terrorist attacks that have happened in India over the past, forget about current Mumbai attacks. This is shown in their blatant act of ignorance that any terrorist activity even does exist in Pakistan at all. Similarity can defined for Pakistan govt with Taliban which did not take any action against Al Qaeda, and now Pak is reluctant to recognise LeT (and group). Pakistan's behavior in this respect is also criminal, giving refuse to other criminals. It ior urge, we cannot tell. How to pressurize Pakistan is question which is answered by only taking unilateral military action.
We are left with only military action because over the past, any bilateral or multilateral talks involving India and Pakistan, have been failed utterly in achieving the objective. Though one should not be cynical that if talk has been failed in the past, it is bound to fail again. But going with conditions in Pakistan and attitude of its govt, it is safe to assume.
The other way would have been multilateral pressure on Pakistan with the support of USA(may be Israel also). But here again the glitch is at this point of time, favoring India over Pakistan is not in strategic interests of USA. USA would not want to jeopardize its fight with Taliban on Eastern front of Pakistan, which is its high priority and in which it has already invested.
All India is left with, is unilateral action(not talk) on Pakistan which transforms to war.
War with Pak: No
The solution is not so easy. Lets say we go to war with Pakistan.
First of all that is really not direct solution to India's problem. 'War' means war with Pakistan govt which is in fact supporter of terrorists, not the actual culprit which happens to be LeT and Company Inc.
Secondly there is the mess of Taliban. If there is war between Pakistan and India then Pakistan finds itself in pieces. It will be highly unstable because of war from two fronts - Eastern(India) and Western(Taliban). Now again, unstable Pakistan is highly undesirable for India. India may win one war, but will have to face another war.
There maybe a arguments that Taliban will support Pakistan. Really? The given war will be only platform for Taliban to gain solid stand in Pakistan. After Pakistan goes bust, Taliban will rule the left-overs. Taliban is no mere terrorist group, it has a monumental army gathered(80,000 read somewhere).
On top of that, If India goes to war with Pakistan then it will jeopardize its strategic relations with USA because for USA Pakistan is a crucial ally in fight with terrorism. And in this situation when India is vulnerable from three fronts - Pakistan(west), China(Northern border) and internal threats(like naxalism), it will be a blunder to not have USA as an ally. Because at this point of time, on international front only USA is strong ally for India from the day India signed Nuclear Pact.

I wonder if WAR or NO WAR is exactly a solution the idea is about producing threat of war which is exactly what India is doing now...
We know as any human being under threat reacts very fast and without any futher planning acts is desperation that leads to opening of events that wud b in opponents favour one after another. That is what India is seeing with Pak its acting wid so much haste that is doesnt even know if it should accept that terrorists are its non state actors or not eventually opening it way to international criticism.
Which in turn is enough to make India stronger and pak weaker.
I know its definitely not a dramatic step and not something that would produce fast results lk war would do but again its something that would lead us to better way of dealing with the situation bz war would only create havoc in a situation where Indian police n military do not have updated equipments n means to save lives the recent ongoing encounter in jammu n kashmir of 10 militants have proven it again where 4 terrorists are killed and for them 3 of our brave soilders laid their lives ..
the BIG question is
ARE WE PREPARED TO WIN WAR WIDOUT LOSING A SINGLE LIFE?
OR
even IF WE LOSE LIVES IS IT 100% SURE THAT WE WILL ELIMINATE TERRORISM FROM ITS ROOTS?
if not then why put our soilders to danger bz of our adrenile rush of holding war now??
anywz cutting long story short my point is that to fight a war lets forst buy time of equiping ourselves with enough of war machineries both internally for poilice system n military systems .. make our own intelligence sys strong.
Then go ahead liminating terror camps at POK slowly widout announcing war...why make such hulla bulla when u just want to accomplish the task? its simple be quite n eliminate them widout shouting..
till then lets get the world in our favour and terrorise Pak so tat it heaps up at blunders...
sry the post ws little long but opinion had to be described tats y ..btw nice post :)
tkcr adios
