The first weeks of the Obama presidency are likely to define the broad contours of his South Asia policy. They also happen to be the UPA government’s final moments in power. The time for diplomacy, then, is rapidly running out. Sooner than later, either with or without American political support, Manmohan Singh will have to make good his promise to extract a price from the perpetrators of the Mumbai aggression.

FORGET THE DOSSIRBy: PRAKASH NARAIN | 13-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward TIME FOR INDIA TO CALL A SPADE A SPADES FOR USA PAKISTAN MILITARY ADVENTURISM FROM OCTOBER 1947 WILL BE REVERSED. IT HAS PUNISHED PAKISTANI PEOPLE BY MAKING THEM BEGGARS

War NowBy: Me_and_Mine | 12-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Did we really expect the Pakis to hand over the guilty goons? India had to collect evidence and show it to the world to make a moral case in front of the world. After that, war is the only option. Only India can punish the guilty parties, which includes Pak army led by so called non-politician Kayani. Unlike Israel, which strikes with impunity when it wills, we could not have afforded a war immediately in the aftermath of the terror strikes. But now is high time. Now the case against Pakis is sealed. Strike! After all efforts had failed, Krishna told Arjun to loose his arrows upon the enemy army. So what if they were brothers once upon a time?

Pakistan, Afghanistan and indiaBy: oldindian | 12-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward India has very limited options. China due to strategic reason would never put enough pressure on pakistan to stop it from running its terrorist factory full steam round the year. Obama though sounding very non partisan, has his constituency of voters to whom he wants to show how differently he is going to handle afghanistan from how bush did it - i.e. by providing enough incentives to main participant , pakistan in staying engaged in afghanistan conflict. The way things are shaping up on afghanistan front things are getting out of control very fast and pak democracy is embroiled in its own power play. So as a compromise obama is likely to support pak's claim on kashmir which in turn would engage the talibans to fight hindu state. so pak in turn will have its mujahideen thugs fighting on its eastern front! while things may not pan out as per this script, some version of this is likely to come up in near future. So it is in india's interest to pursue its options.
