‘Understanding’ and after
Whether it was due to the efforts of the United States or the sagacity of the leadership of India and Pakistan, the announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan is welcome. No sane person on either side of the border would want a prolonged war between two nations that are nuclear powers.
However, the Indian people need to know whether every objective of launching ‘Operation Sindoor’ has been achieved and what caused India to accept the ceasefire proposal so readily, when it was reportedly in an advantageous position.
As the Prime Minister has said, “Blood and water can’t flow together”.
India must have firm steps in place to check terror attacks originating from or that are aided by Pakistan. Else, we will be back to square one, with no bargaining chip, with a hostile neighbour bent upon hurting us in every possible way.

‘The Huddle 2025’
It was interesting to read the reports on The Hindu’s The Huddle in Bengaluru. One hopes that the dialogues with eminent people give life to constructive ideas, which the government and society can also analyse.
