Keep your eye on the Ball.By: Jatinder S Hoon | Monday , 15 Dec '08 17:23:53 PM Reply | Forward India should keep all options open.Keep the eye on the ball, India's politicians should learn that lesson from Indian cricketer's in their great win in Chenai.

Let it not pass / Let us not forgetBy: vikman | Monday , 15 Dec '08 16:25:04 PM Reply | Forward I think Pakis are clearly working with a strategy to weather out this storm till the world gets distracted to another priority. They still are pursuing their debating of the semantics and taking half measures, while effectively taking no action on the guilty. I believe India should demand a time table for action from Pak that is guaranteed by international community, failing which India should take action --- even military action. This should be weeks if not days, and considering that a few weeks have already gone by since the incident, there may not be much time left. I think the history ( and Indians on the street) will not forgive the politicians who let this event pass like they have done to many others.

Mr. Chidambaram's Strategic PlanBy: Som Karamchetty, PHD | Monday , 15 Dec '08 6:35:29 AM Reply | Forward As home minister, Mr. Chidambaram has the responsibility to act by assuming that he will be in that portfolio for now as well as for a long time to come. His senior civil service leaders and advisory committees can address both immediate and permanent issues. He needs a strategic plan. It should include the solution of the internal problems with respect to the North East, Naxals, and sundry groups politically. In concert with various economic and justice ministries, and by working with various religious and social groups in the country, he has to reduce the demands on the internal security forces. Coordinating with the External Affairs Minister, he has to work out a method to control the legal and illegal entrants from neighboring countries. With a strong plan, he will be able to make India strong internally and leave the Defense ministry to have the Armed forces protect the borders. His ministers of State should be charged to attend to situations continually before they flare up.
