On the contrary its generals are very rational persons and have given themselves free space for military provocations by professing irrationality. I don’t believe the Pakistani declared policy is anything more than a posture since it knows the destruction that will descend upon it. In our system the military is not even a partner in policy planning and ignorance and a natural credulity makes our civilian leaders more prone to believing the illogical and impossible. The Pakistani redlines will appear as we get closer to its complete defeat and a repeat of 1971.

Like Brezhnev, we too seem to have locked ourselves into knots believing Pakistani irrationality. He also specialises in the Chinese economy. It is time for India to seriously contemplate higher steps on the escalatory ladder, like decapitating terrorist leadership or destroying terrorist camps, which are deeper inside PoK or Pakistani Punjab.

Kanwal is an old friend and we have had and been in umpteen discussions on this subject here and abroad in very many conferences, some with Pakistani strategists also.
