Those who prepare for war will get peace and those who prepare for peace will get war.
- To avoid killings in street riots we gave away our land to create Pakistan. Hoping this will lead to peace.
- To avoid bloodshed in war we stopped capturing Kashmir midway and went to UN. Hoping for a peaceful resolution.
- To avoid escalations we signed IWT with Pakistan. Hoping this will lead to peace.
- To avoid going to war at that time we allowed Pakistan to openly pursue nuclear weapons. Prioritising peace over war.
- To increase trade we gave Pakis MFN status. Hoping increased trade will create peace.
- To increase people to people contact we started bus and train services. Hoping cultural integration will bring peace.
- We made movies with them and played cricket with them (and still playing) hoping entertainment will bring peace.

They think we are a soft state because frankly speaking we are one. No other country has tolerated amount of nonsense we are tolerating. Others have gone to full blown war for far less than what we have endured.
Even still we haven't cut all diplomatic relations with Pakistan.
We still haven't committed to Indus water blockade.
We will still do Atari border circus with them.
We will still play international cricket with them.
We are still treating them with normalcy.

Peace doesn't come from appeasement. It comes from the barrel of a gun.
We Indians need to listen to following speech by Ronald Ragen and memories every word of it. This is what having a spine looks like.
