i have decided to opine on the message board on all issues so that people understand how such wars are fought. the recent happenings are not just a reflection of our politicians but also a reflection of our history , our mistakes in history and our shortcomings as a nation and as liberal people. the things we must understand are 1. wars are fought in all spectrums . there is no need to goto war when u can affect ur adversary without it. 2. we have to develop an understanding of wars and conflicts at a strategic level - history has proven that we might be good in the battle area but are poor tacticians - the worst our netas and babus are hopeless on the subject and that is why we are at the recieving end from all neighbouring countries - sri lanka where tamils are being persecuted, bangladesh where hindus have been driven away , nepal where there ia an anti india feeling. the problem is with us and not our neighbours - so thank ur MEA for all this too from pakistan. 3. we have poor institutional memeory- prithviraj chauhan had to fight number of times and forgot - for what i dint know. didi he not lose his own men . so we are basically exploitative as an individual. maybe we need to change - remove caste distinction and make all equals. 4. strenghten the nations war making capability. deterrence works and keeps peace in the environment. ur neighbours must be weak and u must have assymetric overwhelmingly capability to inflict damage on any misadventures by them.
