India’s civil services were once called the ‘steel frame’. But steel is forged in fire, not moulded in a coaching class. While dilution has made the exam easier, it has also made it harder to find the game-changers we need.
The government’s post-Covid policy was to keep the fiscal deficit under check, rein in its revenue expenditure, and spend more on building infrastructure. That strategy seems to be changing.
Asking Goa to give up 4% of a river’s flow to help parched districts seems reasonable, moral. But it masks a deeper ethical problem: who bears the burden of the ‘greater common good’?
Despite the depreciation of the rupee, India continues to be a magnet — safer than peers like Turkey, South Africa or Brazil, and offers greater returns than the US or Europe.
Consider Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar’s duet ‘Chhod Do Aanchal’. The sequence was set in a flower garden, and the girl’s bashfulness was not even remotely relatable to a cabaret dancer.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
None of the five choices have worked against Pakistan. India can consider the following steps to cause problems for Pakistan. The real enemy is Pakistan army including ISI and the various terror groups. The Pakistani people are not the enemy. India can start covert operations to assassinate the chiefs and main guys of the various terror groups, top guys of in ISI, the Pakistan army or even the Pakistan government who help the terror groups. Second, India should destroy Pakistani military infrastructure from inside Pakistan through covert operations. Use the die-hard RSS guys for this purpose. Third, India has to work with USA, IMF and World Bank to use FATF to take strict action against Pakistan. Fourth, India should work with Russia to force China stop exporting arms to Pakistan. Last and the fifth, India should strengthen itself by stopping the game of hatred against Indian Muslims as that has made India divided and by stopping Angiveer scheme as that has weakened Indian defense forces.
It appers that Mr Swami went for ground to estabish the loss in Balakot, and IAF capability. He should just for traning exceris with army and IAF then he will know how must destruction take place.
Fighting to restore love and peace in my relationship was incredibly frustrating—until I came across a video of a woman sharing her testimony about how her marriage was restored. It gave me hope for something I never thought was possible. Now, my partner and I are happily reunited, living in love and harmony. I’m truly grateful to Mandla for the help he gave me and my family.

I always love your writing since it has an academic tinge to it! Also liked the frank conversation you had with Gen Panag which was thought provoking.
I might add a sixth option – one that achieves its aims without necessarily losing too much of lives – supporting Afghanistan in its pursuit of putting pressure on Pakistan. Much as it is straddled with the same risks of having snakes in our backyard, it would be helpful to at least have a buffer state between us and Afghanistan that is not powerful enough to cause hurt by a thousand cuts.
Airstrikes are ruled out because our jets are ancient and are only a few in number. Ground strikes are useless. Assassination sounds good. Patriots can be recruited to destroy terrorist handlers inside Pakistan including the ISI and also expensive infrastructure to weaken the state.

Its painful and slow and may take 15 years. But start building dams and divert the water to Dehli and Haryana.
That will solve the problem,
