<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->All this is fine but what are we doing to get back at Pakistan, we can highlight all their atrocities all we want but it makes no difference in the end, how many bomb blasts did we set off in Pakistan so far, if we didn't do any then why don't we do them?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Got delayed, but looking through, while i may have agreed previously Bharatvarsh i got to thinking how does bomb blasts in pakistan actually help our cause? With pakistan, setting off bomb blasts in public places and killing civilians is per their plan, for
a) Refocus attention to India, and to increase perceived instability there among its markets. Whenever i feel pakistan gets the heat on its western border, either with the balochs or in NWFP with the tribals or even taking stick from the US about bombing its own civilians on the war on terror, a bomb blast automatically occurs in India to throw world attention somewhat.
b) Setting bomb blasts off in public places that are prone to communal tension in the hope that violence and randoms acts of killings break out leading to harsh world opinion and further reinforces pakistans claim of 2 nation theory and that pakistan needs to exist for it muslims to survive.
So in answer, what would setting off bomb blasts in public places actually achieve for us? Pakistan shows little regard for their populace anyway by repeatedly taking air strikes to its own people and bombing them mercilessly aka Nawab bugti and recently the madrassah killing women and children there.
Bombs in public places killing numbers in the 10's which might include minorities serve little to further our cause and would make us barbaric as the pakis themselves.
Unless your advocating bombs at strategic military installations. Well these do go off randomly assisted by minorities in their respective states, monthly bombing of sui gas pipelines come to mind to disrupt infrastructure in the area. Possibly more could be set off at vital supply lines for the military, but i think GOI is against raising any red lines just yet.
The object i feel is the awaiting of multiple force multipliers which are due for induction over the next 2 years, that in the event of hostilities, will advance and further act towards completing a relatively short and intense war withing a couple of weeks with minor casualities.
These include massive upgradation of the armed forces while simultaneous upgradation of the support infrastructure like roads to the border.
Yes perhaps what you advocate might work in selectively targetting leaders in the pakistani establisment or those who work alongside like dawood for selective removal. Perhaps we might find reports yet of such attempts.
On another note : India has taken its first steps to creating an ABM shield, coupled with upgraded Akash and possibly russian s300v systems with rajendra radars and green pine. It could buy us the power to project and negate paks threat of a 1st strike in the event of a border conflict. With such systems at hand, deployed at the both pakistanis and chinese borders, it would let the military engage in more offensive adventurism and strikes than without such a cover.
