I agree with Kalachandra completely. This author is a well known leftist and as usual for them, an anachronist. India should act acording to its own security and the security of the region as the main agenda. We should not have stopped the arms supply to the RNA at the first place, as they are the foot soldiers who are fighting the maoists. The author is citing the abuse by the RNA, but he is silent about the same meted out by the maoists. If the RNA does not get arms, who wins? The democracy or the maoists? This brings us to the point as to whose side this author actually is. He also states that Pakistan and China will not play any role if India withdraws. Does he have any assurance from these two states? China has been cosistently suppling military hardware to Pakistan (and now Wen Jiabao has agreed to supply missiles to Bangladesh!!), whose only target is India. when Mr. Bidwai is going to write an article about that? I dare him to reply this.
