Paramilitary is not peripheral
Kargil was a triumph. It was also a tragedy. It was a triumph of the Indian jawan, of his valour, and of his total commitment to the nation.

We love quantity
Surely, when God was distributing patriotism, Indians, especially our cricketers and film stars, must have been in the front row. Along with that quality, He must have ladled out large dollops of jingoism, hype, rhetoric and hypocrisy.

On collision course
The shooting down of a Pakistani maritime reconnaissance aircraft, which was on a snooping mission inside the Indian territory, marks an all-time low in Indo-Pakistan relations since the Kargil war began three months ago.
