|   | Indian and Pakistani political
establishments should deal with
the post-Mumbai crisis with
greater prudence than they seem
to demonstrate at present. Both
countries should realise the
immense dangers awaiting them
if one country, Pakistan, avoids its
responsibility towards India’s
security and the other country,
India, globalises the threat from
militants operating from Pakistan.
There are signs that sections of
the Indian political class are
eagerly awaiting closer military
cooperation with the US under
Obama with the hope that India
would be the sole beneficiary of
the new south Asian war against
terrorism. That would be a fresh
invitation to greater disaster.
