In contrast, Pakistan has consistently followed its goal of bleeding India, through clever use of proxy war. It would be naive to suggest that India, with its fine military and expert intelligence, has not worked out a policy. On a parallel track, Pakistan’s low-intensity war needs to be responded to exactly in the same spirit, albeit with a difference. Simultaneously, India’s initiative on regulating river water in the nation’s interest should not be abandoned half-way, as generally happens. India has to retain Kashmir, like any other state forming a part of its sovereign federal republic.
