India's Stand on 26/11 Mumbai Attacks
Even after 3 months of the incident that shook the whole country, there are no great outcomes of the terror attacks. The policy of Indian government to mount international pressure on Pakistan has only, till now led to it's acceptance that the terrorists hailed from Pakistan. What do you think? Should India do something else or just wait for another attack on herself?

India handled the whole episode like classic idiots. India believed that US will come running to help India or US will kick on the backsides of Pakistan to give up terror plots and implementation against India.
India failed miserably to extract FIRM commitment towards the above from US by suitably capitalising on the fact that 2-3 US intelligence operatives were killed in Taj Hotel..
Subsequent US interaction with Pakistan was aimed only towards securing US nationals’ safety in the region and strategising US operations in Afghanistan. That’s why Joint Chiefs of Staff and CIA topdog visited Pakistan recently – not to help India, but to safeguard their own interest.
If Indians had the unity and the guts of the Israelis, this festering issue would have got sorted out decades ago. But West knows that will not happen with the political parties/bosses squabbling like canines, and ready to sell their mothers/motherland for peanuts.
When a country has a PM but only in name, and instead the country is run by a mediocre, sycophant seeking megalomaniac party president, that country ought to get the treatment it deserves. And, India is getting the treatment it deserves from the international community.
India is now flailing like a blind person seeking someone to help its diplomatic efforts. It has made a caricature of itself by even begging Iran to pressurise Pakistan - a move that will blow the fuse of US and its lackeys.

Lets review the situation before n during 26/11

India's intelligence service failed to act on intercepted phone conversations that an attack on Mumbai was imminent and the subsequent

    Andrew J Potter looks at the emerging relationship between the newly independent Republic of Indian and superpower that was the United States during the Cold War era in his book, Comrades at Arms: The United States and India, 1947-1964. It is, however, the angle from which he decides to look at this relationship that is most interesting. Rotter decides to look at this budding complicated relationship from a culture angle as, in his own words, “Like the rest of us, policymakers and diplomats do not shed their values, biases, and assumptions at their office doors. They are creatures of culture, and their attitudes cannot help but shape the policy they make.”…

    India is in the centre of a very serious conflict in the world today. It is a very diverse place composed of people from many different religious backgrounds that come from many different regions. Two of the country’s main religions, Muslim and Hindu, have been fighting for hundreds of years for many different reasons. Their feelings of hatred and mistrust for each other are embedded in their memories and will not be forgotten easily. The worst part is there seems to be no initial plan for compromise between the two groups. Though there are many reasons for this conflict, only a few will be touched on. Those that will be touched on are the Islamic attacks on Indian Parliament, the anti-Muslim textbooks, and the Deganga Riots. These are all recent examples of the feud between these two religions and how they are not letting the past go. The Muslim-Hindu relationship is declining and there is no sign of letting up in the near future.…

    * At this time, the United States and India share several differences, but one in particular is that India does not trust the growing relationship between China and America. “Many in India believe that the Obama administration has tilted its policy toward Beijing in a way that undermines Indian interests. Given China's close relations with Pakistan and continuing claims on Indian territory, India does not view Beijing as an honest broker” (Feigenbaum, 2010, pp. 76-91). India’s concern, for instance, the U.S. will not help relieve India if tensions riled along the Chinese-Indian border (Feigenbaum, 2010).…

    e The conclusion of the Indo-U.S. civil-nuclear deal in the fall of 2008 marked the end of three years of negotiations between the U.S. and India. Completion of the deal should not, however, obscure the history of domestic debate within the U.S. and India on how the terms of the deal apply. One issue on which lack of consensus notably persists within the U.S. is how the deal would be affected by India…

    The action of Pakistan generals was coldly received by many in the outside world. Washington was quick to criticize the coup leader and US President signaled his disfavor by changing his March 2000 South Asian visit so as to spend only a few hours in Pakistan while staying in India and Bangladesh for longer visits. However the strain in U.S.-Pakistan relations was caused by a wide range of issues. Pakistan sustained political instability its repeated failure at constructing civil society, the impediments to a resolution of the Kashmir question and most significantly the country's nuclear arms race with India.…

    But then the Indian government decided to build up artificial tension, illustrating once again its animus and hostility to Pakistan. That has served to make evident the rationale of Paksitan’s nuclear programme. Nuclear deterrence is indispensable for the defence and security of our country. General Pervez Musharraf’s government is determined to maintain a robust and credibile deterrent capability.…

    subversive pragmatic vision is increasingly challenging some of the key foundations of India’s traditional nationalist and left-of-center foreign policy, diluting the consensus that shaped the policy, and raising new possibilities especially for India’s relations with the United States and global nuclear arms control. This debate between two centrist foreign policy perspectives is not yet settled. The two are described here as ‘‘traditional nationalist’’ and ‘‘pragmatist,’’ with the former representing the established and dominant perspective, and the latter as the emerging challenger.1 Actual Indian policy mostly splits the difference, mouthing traditional nationalist (hereafter referred to as simply nationalist) slogans while following pragmatist prescriptions. One major result has been the widening of political space for closer relations with the United States, even without a stable consensus. These taxonomies are ideal types: it is very unlikely that those characterized as either nationalist or pragmatist would agree with or accept every tenet of these categories. The categorizations are designed to provide an outline of the competing lines of argumentation about Indian foreign policy, rather than identify nationalists or pragmatists per se. It also is important to note that it is difficult right now in India to associate these perspectives with particular political parties, think tanks, or ministries. Thus, these perspectives are individualistic and do not correspond to particular organizations. They do, however, represent the views of important public intellectuals, policy analysts, academics, journalists, diplomats, and government officials.…

    India Foreign Policy

    Every sovereign country has its foreign policy. India too has one. Foreign policy refers to the sum total of principles, interests and objectives which a country promotes while interacting with other countries. Even though there are certain basic features of a foreign policy it is not a fixed concept. The thrust of foreign policy keeps on changing according to changing international conditions. India’s foreign policy is shaped by several factors including its history, culture, geography and economy. Our Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, gave a definite shape to the country’s foreign policy. The Republic of India is the second most populous country and the world’s most-populous democracy and has one of the fastest economic growth rates in the world. With the world’s tenth largest military expenditures and eleventh largest economy by nominal rates or fourth largest by purchasing power parity, India is considered to be a regional power and a potential global power. It is India’s growing international influence that increasingly gives it a more prominent voice in global affairs. India has historically played a prominent role in several international organizations. It has a long history of collaboration with several countries and is considered a leader of the developing world. India was one of the founding members of several international organizations, most notably the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Asian Development Bank and the G20…

    Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have remained estranged mainly due to Afghanistan’s revanchist claim made about Pakistan’s western province and its non-recognition of the Durand Line as the international border. With a hostile India to the East, Pakistan can ill-afford another irredentist neighbor. Since 1947 both countries have interfered in each other’s domestic affairs. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan forced Pakistan to wage a proxy war in Afghanistan, garnering the support of Western and Arab allies. Since the end of Cold war, Pakistan continued its forward policy in Afghanistan through support of Taliban. Its prime security interest in Afghanistan remains having a friendly government in Kabul.…

    Due to the ongoing war against terror, some people say that this terrorism menace in Pakistan is the just reaction of people living in tribal areas who have been the most affected ones. Now the question is, why do they show such reaction? It is because of the deadly US. The United States of America works like a boss here. Ongoing drone attacks have made it worse to counter produce the terrorism. The concerned authorities have shown complete negligence in this regard and they seem to be in cahoots with the Allied Forces.…

    The Essay

    After the cease-fire, the Indian forces refused to withdraw from the Kashmir valley. In 1951, Dr. Graham tried to solve the problem but India rejected in February 1953. The Security Council appointed Gonar Jerring in 1957 but India did not agree to any proposal. At last on August8, 1965, a National Revolutionary Council was formed in occupied Kashmir and the Mujahids stood against Indian forces. India became so desperate and attacked Pakistan. Pakistan Army pushed back the Indian forces in a historical way. In 1971 war, Shimla Agreement was written but India did not agree to liberate Kashmir. Now again the people of Kashmir stood uop against Indian forces and they are fighting for their freedom, which India has to acord them today or tomorrow. In the words of Late General Mohammad Ayub Khan, the Ex-President of Pakistan, Kashmir is a "Time Bomb" which would explode at its proper time and that time, we are sure, has come now. Kashmir is a part and parcel of Pakistan and we can never withdraw from this right.…
