Fundamentalist religion is one, that when confronted with a conflict between love, compassion and caring, and conformity to doctrine, will almost invariably choose the latter regardless of the effect it has on its followers or on the society of which it is a part.
Islamic followers have always upheld fundamentalist ideals. Taliban is not an exception. In fact they can be categorized as extreme fundamentalists.
The recent peace deal between the Pakistan government and the Taliban would put our country in a dangerous state, as we are precariously situated very close to the region of terror.
Nowhere in the world would the peace agreement between two warring factions (I believe Pakistan government is a minor faction now in that country, it does not control a major part of Pakistan anymore), be viewed with so much of skepticism. There are reports that a huge amount of money has been paid to Taliban for making them agree to the ceasefire. (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/Pak-paid-6m-for-Taliban-ceasefire/articleshow/4192559.cms). What would Taliban do with that money? Well, It’s a no-brainer.
The Mumbai attacks and the inability of India to force Pakistan to even accept that the terrorist attacks were planned in Pakistan has brought into light how inefficient we are in taking action on a state which perpetrates terror on us.
United States and its western allies, in spite of being the targets / victims of the terror attacks, could do nothing to identify the source or take action on the nation from which it has been perpetrated. I wonder whether US is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one. Or is it more worried about the Nuclear power going into the hands of rogue organizations like Taliban?
Since the world is incapable of dealing with Pakistan in an effective way, it is in India’s interest to defend its territories and be prepared for any offensive from Pakistan or Taliban. In fact, it would not be wrong to target the militant training camps in the PoK and the Pakistan region. When Pakistan can claim that it is not involved in the Mumbai terror attacks, we can also claim that we did not attack the terror camps in Pakistan. We just need to give some contradictory statements or the other on a daily basis. That would ensure that the world would stop asking us as to why we attacked Pakistan.
India should take proactive measures to defend itself from Taliban and Pakistan. If Taliban starts controlling Pakistan, we would have to face an enemy who would not think twice before using their nuclear arsenal.

Good one ....India 's congress , typical IFS diplomats are too scared and want to enjoy their positions of power without any descision making.
Its high time when we have to change history from Attacks from Khyber to Attack on Khyber, change our disastrous and faltered argument that India is a peaceful country and never attacks etc.
After all History beholds the mighty and cowards perish!
Very good one. I don't think many people grasp the enormity of the situation. People who do, are clueless as to how to deal with this. There is a need for world leaders who can take tough decisions in these tough times. Whether Obama is one I don't know. And as for our leaders, well, the less said the better!
