India’s battle against terror: Declare a state of war
By Arun Kumar Singh, Vice-Admiral (Retd.)
I have been astounded by some recent statements by so-called experts and retired government bureaucrats. Here are a few samples: A retired bureaucrat told me that "changing borders or creating new nations was no longer possible, and the 1971 creation of Bangladesh was an aberration." He was stumped when I reminded him about the breakup of the Soviet Union into 15 states, and Yugoslavia into another four. But with typical arrogance, borne out of spending years in the "corridors of power", he stated these too were "aberrations". He got rather upset when I mentioned East Timor, because he was not even aware of this new nation which had been carved out of Indonesia!
