If we don't have the guts, at least we can hide.

So, India's Home Minister, Rajnath Singh received a hostile reception in Pakistan. Even Indian journalists accompanying Singh received barbaric treatment. Not surprising at all. Our government is well aware Pakistan has a state policy of trying to bleed India through a thousand cuts. In January Pak army was identified by Afghan police in the attack on the Indian consulate at Mazar-e-Sharif. Most Pak army officers support Jihadi terrorist attacks against India, according to an former Pak ambassador. The Pak government has a well rehearsed set of excuses with which to condone every murderous attack on India. Everyone knows all this, so that is not a surprise. What is astonishing is why India, a larger and much richer country, which has won every war against Pakistan, always surrenders meekly and gives up its gains, won through the blood of our soldiers. Fighting with antiquated weapons we were on the verge of a decisive victory in 1966 when Lal Bahadur Shastri stopped the fighting and then gave up all the territory at the Tashkent conference. Shastri died a mysterious death which has not been solved till today. If he was killed, as his wife believed, then the questions are 1. Who killed him, 2. Why and 3. If he was killed who signed the agreement? In 1971, 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered to India. Indira Gandhi returned them without anything in return. All she had to do was to ask them to surrender to the Bangladeshis, who would have slaughtered each one of them, and Pakistan would have given us anything we asked for. One would have thought that an attack on the parliament in 2001, the center of our government, would invite a strong response from India but nothing. Atal Behari Vajpayee sent 100,000 troops to the border with Pakistan and brought them back after 6 months at enormous cost to the state and enormous inconvenience to our soldiers. The attack on Mumbai in 2008, in which 164 people were killed and over 300 injured, was followed by the sharam at Sharm el-Sheikh, when Manmohan Singh went on bended knees to talk peace. The present prime minister swore a bullet for a bullet when he was elected in 2014 and indeed our forces responded ferociously to unprovoked firing from across the border, taking Pak by surprise. Obama came running to India in January 2015 after which we have gone back to permanent 'peace talks', no matter how many Indians are killed by the scum. It is inexplicable why Pakistan is able to kill others, including US soldiers, and no action is ever taken. At last the US Congress has woken up to the danger of Pakistan as a terrorist state. We should take advantage of this. Declare Pakistan a terrorist state and shut off all relations. Build a wall along the border, lay land mines, so that even a rat cannot cross, and shoot at anything that moves. As China builds the Gwadar corridor in Pakistan, which is a massive land grab by the Punjabis, we may expect armed resistance from locals. Pakistan will implode, let China enjoy the results.
