Now that the wheels are turning

Finally Pakistan has moved grudgingly or otherwise, in a direction that could be the first steps towards resolving the cross border terror issues long suffered by India.
It is however a fledgling start and would need to be cupped in our palms like a candle in high winds.
Too much negativity may take the wind out of the sails of Pakistan's civilian administration and make them retreat into their familiar pattern of ostrich like behavior.On the other hand leniency at this stage may tempt them into believing that they've done enough and can rest on their laurels as it were.
Indians dealing with the situation will need to exercise a lot of tact without letting up on the pressure as has been our wont in the past.
Sustained positive pressure and restrained engagement will be the key to making progress in the long haul.

On the other hand we have been too thin skinned in the past to even the mildest criticisms or counter points in the past and this has been destructive in our key relationships in the neighborhood and further afield.Reasonable requests for information to further the investigations in Pakistan must be considered and met, which after all is a sovereign nation too.

Let us show more sagacity in dealing with the issues now that the wheels have begun to spin.

Then there are issues at home where we should be making unhindered progress as no external influences are involved.
Breaking the Underworld support system that has been aiding terror unto now is perhaps what should take priority #1 if we are to prevent outrages like 26/11.
What needs to be done is pretty simple but mustering the will to do so seems to be the bigger challenge, considering the recent hat-trick of shameful assembly events by our Taliban like elected representatives. This is the real threat from within.
There has been also been no perceptible progress towards overhauling the security-intelligence networks which was the most objective need post 26/11.
Do we as a nation have any cognitive strengths at all?
Decibels never bring results, results come from Decisive action.
