India must approach the problem of the terror groups in Pakistan in two ways. This sounds didactic and it is, but the reality is that our governments have learned nothing.The first approach is that we must figure out how to convince Pakistan to do the right thing. That is to ensure that groups based in their country are continually squeezed so that they cannot harm us.How can India manage to convince Pakistan to do that? We can do it in one of three ways and there are only three ways.The first is that we can compel the Pakistanis to do what we want. This means mediation.The third mechanism is to talk to Pakistan and to convince them through negotiation.
