India was as cowardly as a country can be during the UPA era. We delinked terrorism from the Pakistani state, signed agreements, and echoed the line that Pakistan itself was a victim of terror driven by poverty and lack of education. We kept talks going despite repeated attacks, maintained trade, and pushed confidence-building measures. We resumed dialogue after every provocation, sent dossiers instead of deterrence, and relied on global pressure that never delivered. Cross-border infiltration continued, but consequences didn’t. In trying to appear responsible, we ended up looking unwilling to act. Every terror attack had the same standard response: “Agar unko lagta hai ki is kayartapoorna harkat se wo hamara hausla tod sakte hain, to wo galat hain.” We were so submissive that even on the morning of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, our diplomats were in Islamabad signing a joint agreement stating that both sides condemn terrorism and are satisfied with the steps taken to control it. Four days later after the attack, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari had the audacity to say that India should not overreact to the attack, and we didn’t.





“It's a big win. We haven't won in Pakistan since 1954, I think. It's good to start with a win and be part of a team that has won the one-day series.” ~ Ganguly
