India Must Measure its Actions Against Pakistan
Editorial, The Times of India | January 19, 2009
Pakistan has captured Jamaat-ud-Dawa activists and shut down their camps and a panel is to investigate the Mumbai attacks. ++ What has been done so far should be welcomed and appreciated. ++ Still, India has not managed to make its case: Kashmir actually had very little to do with the attacks, which in fact had the establishment of a caliphate as their target. ++ De-coupling US military aid from civilian aid to Pakistan gives hope of the military being reined in. ++ India must pressure Pakistan without paralyzing its government.

That thought is more crucial since this evangelical nexus fits in easily with the Pakistani dimensions of infiltrations of the Indian state.
The Indian political class that is closest to this nexus is well-known and celebrated within the Indo-US network that also, ironically, aspires to the status of the Indian Civil Society.
India can not paralyse the government of Pakistan for such a nexus thriving and well inside its capital city and state-funded to that (to a large extent) merely means that Pakistan is not really India's enemy. It is merely an unfriendly state that leaves a lot for the Indians to accomplish themselves - via such US - inspired if not controlled networks. If one needs to be more accurate: India needs to measure its actions against the United States and its evangelical worms/viruses. India is in the ICU at any given moment given its penetration. Socialists-nationalists etc. are nice sounding hollow terms and hence the Indian state can not paralyse the government of Pakistan since it already is semi-paralysed internally.
