Don’t expect any turn-around in India’s Pakistan policy By Rajeev Sharma For those who were expecting a major turn-around in India’s Pakistan policy in the wake of the gruesome killing of two Indian jawans and mutilation of their bodies in the Mendhar sector of the Line of Control on 8 January, here is a reality check. The UPA government is in no mood to take tough retaliatory measures against the difficult and troublesome nuclear-armed neighbor. The issue came up for some intense discussion on Thursday at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the country’s highest decision-making body with regard to issues pertaining to national security. The CCS is headed by the Prime Mini...

it would be in our national interest to work with a peaceful neighbourhood. seen as neighbour we need to think one way. seen as a belligerent neighbour the scene changes somewhat. seen as an adversary the window opens to whole new set of options....

Will China’s takeover of Pak’s Gwadar port be a game changer? by Rajeev Sharma Feb 4, 2013 China getting operational control of Pakistan’s highly strategic Gwadar port is indeed a serious matter for India which warrants a full-fledged meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) to thrash out an appropriate Indian response. But the question is: has China bitten more than it can chew? Is China playing with fire? Let this question wait for a while. Let us first talk about the implications of the Chinese take-over of the Gwadar port operations from Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) which had been managing the operations for the last five years and was supposed to continue to do so f...

Why India can’t go to war with Pakistan by Rajeev Sharma Indian political leadership’s upping of ante on Tuesday vis a vis Pakistan is not unlike the famous single-liner of Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark: “Words, words, words.” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid used strong words against Pakistan and both said that it can’t be “business as usual” with Pakistan after the neighbour’s brutal act in the Medhar sector of the Line of Control (LoC) last week. But they both stopped at that and declined to spell out what concrete steps they would be taking against the recalcitrant neighbour. Words, words, words! BJP leader and former External Affairs Minis...

India protects VIPs at citizens' expense A 23-year-old girl has awakened India like no ordinary mortal had ever done before. Her brutal gang rape and torture in a moving bus in New Delhi on December 16 evening stunned the nation and triggered spontaneous protests that were unprecedented in scope and intensity. The girl's death on December 29 has brought back the focus on a much larger question that has been debated for decades but never resolved: Shouldn't the state be focusing on the security of the man on the street rather than burning over $100 million every year on security for thousands of VIPs? The gang rape incident has put the UPA government in a quandary. The spontaneous protest...

Agree with creating awareness among the public with this topic. No laws or attempt at enforcing will succeed in India if we try to enforce every issue on hand. It is time as a society we try and imbibe certain principles and put it into practice.

Yes proper counselling is the need as many men are unable to come to terms with a lady who is self empowered. Such rapes rapes are not out of lust but to get a sense of empowerment. Such rapists are sick and need proper medication and counselling.
