We really do not understand why.

If Mr Modi was hoping that inviting Nawaz Sharif to his swearing in ceremony would infuse some civility in the behavior of the uncivilised Pakistanis then he was mistaken. Pakistani army regularly fires heavy weapons at our soldiers from across the border. India broke off secretary level talks with Pakistan after their High Commissioner met Kashmiri separatists privately. Instantly critics have attacked Mr Modi. One writes that Kashmiri separatists must obey Pakistani summons or they will be killed. Apparently the ISI killed Maulvi Farooq in 1990, Abdul Ghani Lone 12 years later and killed Maulvi Mushtaq Ahmed and torched his 100 year old school in Srinagar in 2004. In 2005 the then Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh asked separatists to meet him before they met Pakistanis but they refused. The author was told bluntly by Abdul Ghani Butt," If we do this we will be killed." Another writes that Pakistan will continue to interfere in India's internal affairs and mount attacks against us regardless of all talks so we must continue to talk to them. The logic escapes us. Why do we continue to kneel to Pakistan after decades of attacks, terrorism and abuse? After being thrashed repeatedly by the Indian armed forces how does the Pakistani army dare to continue with constant provocation? Why have our Prime Ministers repeatedly betrayed the nation by handing over gains made by the brave sacrifice of our soldiers? Lal Bahadur Shastri was surely murdered in Tashkent in 1966. Did he sign the accord with Pakistan or was his signature forged after he was killed? In 1971 Pakistani cowards surrendered with 90,000 soldiers in Bangladesh. Indira Gandhi betrayed us in Shimla in 1972 by giving everything to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, getting nothing in return? Then there was the sharam at Sharm al Sheikh in 2009, barely 6 months after the Mumbai terrorist attacks. Are Indian politicians receiving orders from abroad and if so from where? Is Russia not the friend it pretends to be or are our politicians taking orders from the US to guard their black money abroad? The fact is we do not need Pakistan. It is not even 1% of out foreign trade. South Korea has not suffered by isolating itself from the North. The Demilitarized Zone has kept peace for over 50 years. The North has dug tunnels under the zone but have not been successful in sending soldiers so far. Tiny Israel reacts ferociously to any attack on its citizens but we react by begging for talks on ' bended knees '. The ISIS in Iraq presents us with the greatest opportunity. Build a fence along the border, lay landmines so thickly that not even a mouse can cross, stop any Pakistani making money in India by working in Bollywood and react violently to any provocation. If we keep them bottled up they will fight among each other forcing the west to take our their nuclear weapons to prevent them falling to terrorists. You do not talk to mad dogs, you shoot them. Simple.
