@HappymonJacob A very well argued piece, Professor. We should not have cast aside SAARC to begin with. In doing so, we yielded to Pakistan’s negative role in the organisation rather than countering it. If we do not present and pursue a vision for our immediate neighbourhood, someone else will.
@clary_co@VatsRishap And yet, 2008 was the first and the only time that Pakistan acknowledged that the Mumbai terror attack was planned and executed from its soil.
As a professional, I think his advice is sensible. India should manage its difficult relationship with Pakistan using all instruments at its disposal- deterrence, coercion and diplomacy- as required. Why should it remain deprived altogether of one instrument (diplomacy)?
VIDEO | When asked how India should deal with Pakistan, RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, in an exclusive interview with PTI, says, "...If Pakistan is like a pinprick trying to create incidents like Pulwama, etc., we have to answer appropriately according to the situation because the security and self-respect of a country and nation have to be protected, and the government of the day should take note of it and take care of it. But at the same time, we should not close the doors. We should always be ready to engage in dialogue. That is why diplomatic relations are maintained, trade and commerce continue, and visas are being given. So we should not stop these, because there should always be a window for dialogue."
When asked if sporting events should continue, Hosabale says, "Of course, they can continue..."

Are we sleepwalking into catastrophe?
@menakadoshi@mkvenu1 I think Chakraborty owes a duty to the account and shareholders of the bank to spell out the “happenings and practices” that made him resign.
