Amberish K Diwanji on war and stuff.

Various people -- army generals serving and retired, defence analysts, diplomats, politicians, etc -- have spoken of crossing the Line of Control and the Indo-Pakistan border to attack Pakistan all along. The aim is to "teach Pakistan a lesson, once and for all" and settle the Kashmir issue forever. Many have suggested that India must use this god-sent opportunity to settle the Kashmir dispute in its favour, and humble Pakistan so that it never raises its head again.

Today we hold the advantage. World opinion is on our side, which will not change unless we do something stupid, while Pakistan is in a bind (it can bluff about using nuclear weapons, but frankly that would mean the end of Pakistan). Our casualties after a month of war is less than 200 (remarkable, that!) and, most important, we have had some amazing success. All of that stands to be ruined if New Delhi seeks an all-out war....
