Your Views:SOFT...I wud term us Indian POLITICIANS and not Fello Indians as S hameless O nes who often F ail T he Country...I mean first the Kargil intrusion, then Parliament Attack , now this. May be India time and again defers decisive action since we have such a huge population to lose rather reduce. Wud this be the attitude had any of these ministers and politicians lost thier family members in any of these attacks. I guess the very fact that we won our freedom thru non-violence and by getting beaten up is the cause. For the British could wud get fed up of beating indian freedom activists that he wud give in to our demands. We shud have won our freedom thru wars revolutions like US,France . I just hope that one day..some where in that near future..Indians are rid of these spineless leaders and find for themselves ones who have a spine !! , respect for the nation from the heart and not from the mouth and all the more ones who hit back when hit and embrace when embraced. Jai hind ..I just wish Subashji was alive to carry out his plans ...

Your Views: 'Ahimsa' is used by the politicians as an escape route rather than addressing the spreading terror. I suppose India is "missing a dictator". What is the point in being the biggest democracy if you cannot protect your citizens?

Your Views:Yes we are totally a nation of Cowards , a nation which makes empty noises and hands out empty threats . But as our wise politicians say , we have to analyse and address the root cause of this emptiness. For me , our cowardice stems from our doctoriine of non involvement and secularism ,in short sitting on fence for the two most important factors that shape a nation. India is full of hindus and hinduism according to me is a dead religion. It has stopped evolving and anything that does not evolve dies a slow agonising death. Thats what is happening to hinduism and people who follow it. They have no purpose, sense of direction or belonging towards their religion . Just cause they are born hindus they live like hindus. On the other hand Islam and Chirstianity are much more aggresive and evolving religions.People want to be associated with these religions and wnat to be associated proudly. They want to live and die for it . Indian populace is lacking this. Thats what makes us cowards of the first degree. we always were cowards and always will be. thats in our blood . so long live secularism ,long live non alignment and long live india and long live hinduism and long live cowardice.

Your Views:we are called a soft state just because we are able to take grief, pain more than a small state like pakistan. one must understand that for a counrty like pakistan to be known worldwide, the only raison d'etre is figthing with india. one way to be noticed by the world. otherwise they would be a country like ghana or some other nondescript country. I believe, as a country, we are not a soft state. Yes, we look like one because of the pathetic politics played by our politicians. some of them who should be forcefully retired from politics. We need is a young, educated progressive leader. Sadly, i don't see one into the distant future. It looks very sinister and bizaare to know that some of our young dynamic leaders like scindia, pilot, and the one from Telegu desam passed away, untimely. well, a country like ours can bring forth more progressive leaders who do not use historic fueds to their advantage

Your Views:If there is Noble prize instituted for restraint, India will win it every year. It appaears that Indian Government has really worn Bangles. It prefers to talk restraint, even when a few men from a small neighboring country come create panic at our parliament, religious places. Is the government waiting to give the International community more proof about's pak "napak" ideas and actions. wake up politicians if you really love your motherland, and destroy the extremists for ever. forget the world community. they can't do anything else but pat on your back for restraint.

Your Views:When US says Iraq might be involved in training Al qaeda,are Indian Diplomats sleeping instead of briging out that fact that Pak is creator of Taleban/AlQuaeda and what?Is Iraq more safe heavan than Pak?Iraq is not sending directly militants in Saudi or iran or quwaith. Pak is most active militant nation on the planet with out democratic leadership ,run by corrupt general who will flee to US/UK once the military rule ends. US/UK should take leadership roles and give India its share of legitimate security back up.

Your Views:Hmm we might be /might not be a soft state but we are for sure a powerless one. Powerless not bcoz we dont have a strong army. But all our strngths negated by our worthless politicians and more importantly the ignorant or lazy citizen who does nothing about it. Our nuclear bomb merely negated our superiority as now we cannot attack pak for fear of nuclear war. Not that I advacate war! Our Hindu extremists may be worse than the muslim militants. Their lack of tolerence is pathetic. Admittedly pak muslims might not be much tolerzant themselves. But the fact thats y we are a soveriegn country, and we should be proud of it. Our tolerence should disarm the militant. Our gandhian values should subdue the reaction to violence. Peace and let us be brothers.....

Your Views:We should go to war against Pakistan, immediately. We have clear and incriminating evidence of their hand in all acts of terrorism. Previously it was happening only along the borders and in kashmir, slowly it has crept deep in to our country's innards, of which akshardham is the latest. And it is hightime we stop stop consulting listening to US about what we should do and what we shouldn't. What ever US says is laced with hypocisy and double standards aimed at furthering their own end. Let not our leaders indulge in mere words and retoric, the only thing that an Indian will be satisfied with is war and victory against Pakistan. Let us defeat and annex Pakistan, because once Pakistan is annexed and subsumed into India , we will not have to deal with them in the future. Let Greater India from Kandahar to Kanyakumari be formed again.

We have the right blend of political thought which will be just right for whole world for accepting India as 'Global Leader for taking all humanity towards peace and progress. So i do not agree with this thought that we are soft state.Also no one this earth be it like Hitler can eventually kill a particular race of human as every body is needed in this world for functioning of a particular thought process.So we must not get excited with the Pak,and it will be better we just ignore the pak and move towards Global association with like minded nations for consolidation of our human thought. And inthe end pak will get in thier own developed problems. So india the Great Nation must continue with it's eye on world acceptability as Global Leader ship.

Your Views:I think we are. I mean, even patience has its limits. Beyond a point, patience is just a facade for cowardice. We have practised enough patience with Pakistan and now its time to act. And when I say act, war is an option that definitely comes to mind. But that should be our last option because its easu to talk about war sitting in the comforts of our homes, but the soldiers who actually go out there and face the enemy bullets and their families are fully aware of the horrors of war. War cannot be a solution in itself. Diplomatic and other efforts should go on simultaneously. But we have to teach Pakistan the lesson of its life so that the murder of thousands of innocent Indians can be avenged, if not anything else. Loving peace is a virtue but the world calls you a coward if you continue to witness the slaughter of your countrymen and still are impotent to do anything about it. Besides, we ultimately to speak the one language that the enemy understands- war and we shall win because truth is on our side.Strategically, we have made mistakes in the past thanks to people like Nehru but this time lets march on and integrate Pakistn with India to create 'Akhand Bharat'once again.

Your Views:NO. It's not easy as many are suggesting. What are our options? Go & drop bombs on our neieghbour? Pakistan is starting to match us militarily now, though we have a slight edge. See the problems we may face should we start a war? - A conventional war will last for days (rememember Kargil, that was a trailer, this will be movie) & pressure from the world (read U.S.) will force us to call it off. - Nuclear war is not an option, we stand to lose too much. Even if Pakistan is exterminated, what is the guarantee that another Pakistan won't be created. - Our army is busy fighting internal wars in Kashmir and elsewhere. - We are nation of cowards and corrupt people (such a nation cannot fight) - We always expect somebody else to do the job - As far as politicians are concerned, we need people like Gandhi, Bose & Sardar, who irrespective of their idealogies, had the nation's welfare at heart & who sacrificed everything for the nation. Even though I am young, I come from a family of freedom fighters and know the sacrifices they & their family have to make. If you care for India, join the army or do something for the nation & then write mail or badmouth great leaders like Gandhi.

Our Soldiers were slaughtered like dogs by Bangladeshi's, Our parliament was attacked, Kashmir is always in terror. After all what the hell Government is doing? Always our prime minister only talks never does anything.Whenever we are attacked ministers are in the picture just as formality to speak. Why we are not taking hard line.We should retaliate at the same moment.Destroy the terrorist activities even in the POK. Our Army is targeted all the time by terrorists.Why we should wait for them to attack and then take actions.Better retaliate right now attack the terrorist grounds. Once we carry Air Raids with carpet bombing, Our enimies will come to know that "This is Indian attack" May be it will be possible when we get a prime minister like Mr Saddam Hussain who is a dreaded legend

Your Views:We as a nation are not only a bunch of losers and cowards but are extremely corrupt. What ever be the state of the nation, all the people and that includes the politicians, are just concerned about making there lives better by any means. This very nature of us Indians has resulted in the sorry state of affairs in every front. Corruption is so deeply engraved in our veins that every one of us, when ever he finds an avenue does resort to illegal means. Indians only work efficiently and without corruption when he is scared of the "Danda". Indians abroad have made a name for themselves not only because they are intelligent and hardworking but because they have nowhere to go incase they are thrown out, and this fear of loss of job makes them to work hard and hence the riches. Indians will have to do some introspection themselves. Leaders need to lead from the top. There should be harsh punishment for corruption and this needs to implemented everywhere. The courts should be FAIR and fast. If the Courts are Fair and fast in delivering judgements then no one would dare commit crime and indulge in corruption. So the solution for the nation is fair, free and fast courts.

Your Views:No, we are not a soft state. We are simply a stupid state. And judging from all the stupid messages over here, we have only ourselves to blame. India should get rid of its obsession with Pakistan and focus on our economy. The Kashmir issue is used by our corrupt politicians to get our focus out of the real problems we have like poverty. And stupid Indians fall for it. wake up you morons. The world doesn't give a shit about India simply because we are so poor and we don't want to do aything about it. Look at China - they were so poor, but now they are slowly becoming a world superpower. Why? Not because they are always talking about attacking Taiwan. But because they are working on their economy real hard. India can do the same. We are as smart as the Chinese. But then why is our economic growth so low compared to theirs? All those people who are saying Vajpayee should act like Bush are retards. Bush is going to war with everyone, but look at what is happening with their economy right now. It's down in the dumps. USA had the best economic growth during Clinton presidency, and that's because he was focussed on the economy and not on stupid wars. India should do the same.

That will make every one very possessive about our nation. We should hand over the reins of the government to some really able person like Mr. Padmanabhan, Cheif of Army. The current govt should instead of just getting support from the entire world on Kashmir should retaliate like waht america did on Afganistan. Are we not able enough to attack pakistan.

Your Views:Yes we are soft targets for terrorist to strike but this doesn't mean that we are a bunch of loosers and a nation of cowards.Only thing we have missing is we do not have a clearly formulated strategy to combat terrorism. We are pro-active only on the paper but mainly we are reactive in nature. Whenever they strike we talk how to combat them. Even this message board which you are running is a symbol of our reactionary nature. There is some flaw in our reactionary nature too.. we are not as reactive as USA is. The example is when terrorists attack WTC. Cannot we attack on the same fashion? Here we have some constraints - our enemy is not as weak as American's enemy in case of WTC. That's all for now.

But this time atleast Indian government should act with a firm hand and instill the fear in the minds of terrorists. Probably we need to do what K.P.S.Gill did to Punjab. No inquiries, no court activities , no bail proveedings to terrorists. Only encounter deaths. But to facilitate this we need to ban the so called 'Human Rights NGOs' to make them shut up and mind their business.

If anyone has seen this serial called "The Agency" in AXN Channel would agree with me. But I personally feel that India should shed its fear towards USA and show Pakistan where it really belongs. US economy at this point in time is in tatters and would not dare to turn its back against India because of its immense software dependency. So someone out there please think rationally and decide something. How long can innocent people keep on loosing there life. I can even imagine a small cut on my finger and people out in Kashmir get slaughtered like guinea pigs.......Gosh feels terrible

Your Views:I agree that India has always been a soft state and it is all because of the leaders we have had in our long history. I dont say that these leaders were not important for our country. But times have change and the response to different situations have to change. Why the hell do we need to ask questions from the countries throughout the world about what we should do when we could just go ahead and do it? Did US ask anyone before it started its war on Afghanistan? Does Israel ever ask anyone before it does anything. The only problem India has that it wants to make all the other countries happy and that is how they dictate our terms. India did survive when we were sanctioned by America because of the nuclear tests. But India survived and we can survive anything as long as we stay together as a country. Kill all those people who are trying to create a drift between the people of our own country. We were such a big country and look at us now. If we go like this, in some years from now, India will be divided in to 6-7 more countries. We need a strong leadership. Vajpayee is a smart man and he should think about this. Its the time to wake up as nation and finish them who want to finish us

Your Views:"India is a peaceful country a long back". Nowadays it is a place where all the terrorist - the bledy's and idiots (ISI paks) and other local dada's are torchuring the bharath matha in a worst manner. We have to the action like "Satham Hussain against these illegal activities"

Your Views:How else can one explain a nation taking this kind of nonsense from a neighbouring state. Innocent people are losing their lives & livelihood everyday and all that our leaders are doing is indulging in f***all, worthless rhetoric. Infact its become a habit with our so-called "leaders". God save a nation from such "Leaders". The manner in which we have permitted the Americans to dictate terms to us, it appears we are letting them lead our lives. Are we not a nation mature enough to judge our own interests ? Has any of our "leaders" ever tried to analyse the fact that while these hypocrite white nations are advising (read ordering) us to exercise restraint they are planning an attack on another dictator lead nation ? What kind of a nationalist sentiment are our "leaders" projecting to the outside world ? Have we lost all respectability ? America raises such a hue and cry about ONE 9/11. Don't our "leaders" know how many such 9/11's our nation has faced in the last couple of decades. Don't they realise that these same people who are advising restraint are probably laughing behind our back for being foolish enough to even lend them an ear. "we are a very spineless nation" ?

Your Views:If we become economically strong and more independent from developed nations for our basic needs, we automatically become stronger. For that we must stop fighting amongst ourselves and develop a strong patriotic society. Thats the long term solution to all our problems. No we are not a bunch of losers or a nation of cowards. When the time comes every citizen irrespective of his religion and caste will stand up and face the challenge. We have done it before and we will do it once again. Lets not belittle ourselves.
