Strategic action to remove cross border terror threat

Indian authorities were faced with diminishing options. Indian defence forces targeted terror infrastructure, selected and executed with maximum restraint and clinical precision, carefully avoiding military installations and minimizing civilian causalities, and gave a stern warning to the neighbouring country who persistently failed to control terror groups. Pakistan’s feudal elite cannot play victim of terrorism while also the nurturers, and collect benefits. That game is over. Period. There is zero tolerance to terrorism. It is also failure of Pakistan as a state that help nurture such violent barbarians. Pakistan society is as much a victim of the failed state. Voice of people is negated by feudal state and religion. It is essentially a military state that is not at all under the control of civilian authority nor democratic institutions vibrant enough to assert. It cannot however delegate its problem to others and play double game. India will no longer tolerate any incursions by ‘non state actors’ terrorists -these are essentially poverty ridden common people indoctrinated and dehumanized into rabid dogs. Indian soldiers have taken decisive and strategic action to safeguard its citizens. India has serious systemic problems but it is quite a vibrant democracy despite its large size, huge population and myriad demands, and essentially provides stability to the region.  

Now it is for the international community to restrain Pakistan (essentially its out of control Army under jihadi general) and remind them their responsibility and to prevent further escalation. Let us also not forget that it is the shoddy work of racist british colonizers that left many parts of the world with festering wounds and immense misery.
