Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.
The Indian government, after the Tsurgical strike on 29 September, 2016, details of which have not been made very clear, in response to the Uri attack on 18 September, appears to be in a complacent mood as a result of something which it deems to be an accomplishment. This is similar to the nuclear tests conducted on 11 May, 1998. Even then some BJP leaders indulged in chest thumping, some were issuing warnings and threats to Pakistan. But before the end of that month, Pakistan too conducted its tests, taking India by surprise. Hence those celebrating India’s success at the border must be cautious. India has not carried out a strike which will deter Pakistan from attacking India directly or through proxy in future. When nuclear tests were conducted we were told that India now possessed a weapon that what to talk of Pakistan even US would be wary of it. But before Atal Bihari Vajpayee could conclude his term as Prime Minister, Pakistani forces infiltrated in Kargil.
