Govt must show India has more brains than brawn

The PM has told the Russian President Putin and the world that India stands for peace and this is no time for war. After the dastardly Pahalgam massacre, India can no more tolerate the two-nation theory openly being pursued by Pakistan and now we have rightly vowed to punish the terrorists their handlers and sponsors wherever they maybe.  However China is strongly supporting Pakistan and so are some other nations covertly for various reasons. Pakistan is a failed state and a war at this stage will hurt us more than Pakistan. So far India has been taking rapid steps diplomatically, economically, psychologically, methodically for isolating Pakistan on the world stage. What is wrong is the subservient boastful media, people demanding quick retribution and foolish military escalation against our irresponsible nuclear-capable neighbour. The government too has to bide its time and show India has more brains than brawn at this stage, to not permit its politicians to make arrogant and provocative statements when being provoked. The party in power has an enormous responsibility to prove to the world that we practice what we preach.
