No Easy Choices for India

There are no easy choices ahead for India, writes Somini Sepoy in NYT. Nevertheless Arun Shourie offers some:

“You can’t fire the same bullet twice,” said Arun Shourie, a member of Parliament from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, or B.J.P., which was in power at the time. In a speech in Parliament last week, Mr. Shourie said neither a punitive airstrike nor a conventional troop mobilization was viable now.

The only safeguard against a future attack, he offered, would be to “do a Kashmir on Pakistan” — to provide aid to insurgents against the Pakistani state inside its restive provinces, including Baluchistan in the west.

Anyway, as I've said, destabilization of Sindh should be used to turn it into a conduit for destabilization of Balochistan, with which we have no direct border. This would be just like how Pak used Khalistan to eventually set J&K on fire. If Pak strikes back in India, it will only hurt its ally Congress in the polls - our enemy within.
