Firmness and Fortitude
The arrival of the mutilated bodies of Indian soldiers has caused national outrage. But it also raises some extremely disturbing questions and leads to an equally worrying conclusion.
Silence of the lambs
Silence. Stunning silence. As characteristic as gunfire is to the troubled Himalayan heights and casualty to war, or war-like situation, is the silence of the lambs, or the doves of peace who retreat with the first signs of the breach of misplaced trust by the other side.
The Aziz mission is to embarrass
Considering that I was actually on the Prime Minister's bus that crossed into Pakistan at Wagah, I fear some of us had, in the optimism of the moment, slipped into that willing suspension of realism when we conjured up visions of normal ties with Pakistan.
