Don’t always spook India in the name of International Community
It was Pakistan that forced the air strike at Balakot. India has always been compelled to exercise extreme restraint by a large community of Indian non-experts on strategic matters. The media bought their wares easily ignoring public anger. It is mostly done in the name of the “international community”. The international community respects strong nations and strong leadership. India had compromised the leadership abysmally in the past. All countries first pursue their interests, but India has always been prodded to cater to the interests of Pakistan at its own cost. It was not going to be forever; neither will it be forever. India has to continuously keep revising its strategic goals. Even “peace” doesn’t mean the same to everyone. It might be in the interests of one nation to pursue peace but weapons need to be sold and they can be sold in conflict zones. Our governments at the centre as well as states have to stop exploiting our people in the same way the colonial powers did in the past; our businesses have to stop compromising on quality; our service providers can’t dish out outdated technology in a world changing superfast. The quality of press and media coverage of the air strike has been very disappointing as always. Can we take a vow to think India first from now onwards?
