What Mr Clinton is suggesting is that India forget the decades of hostility and Pak-state sponsored terrorism and offer Kashmir on a platter to Pakistan, in order to have a dramatic change in its fortunes.

He needs to understand that India and Pakistan are two distinctly different entities, that are charting their own destiny.

Indians have realized that there are no soft options with Pakistan. Therefore it is more important for India to learn from the Israeli experience about how to live with a rogue neighbour, than to buy peace with Pakistan.

Pakistan is destined to continue its policy of asymetrical warfare in order to seek unilateral concessions from India, and India is destined to take Pakistan in its stride.

India is not in a race with China, as it will move in its own pace. India will progress and prosper inspite of Pakistan.

Thanks, but no thanks, for you suggestion to India.
