We should have adopted an aggressive foreign policy decades ago. now, its too late. We should be taking border incursions very seriously and we should not hesitate to retaliate.

Well said, However, i am not fully agreed with what you have said. with this movement, India has became the 6th country in the whole world who has the nuclear powered submarine. if you consider the fact that many countries are heading towards the nuclear powered weapons. and this step will give us an advantage over our close enemy Pakistan. as they have not got one yet. i am not against the fact that our government should not consider the basic needs of the country, but government has to give priorities to certain objectives according to their advantages and disadvantages.
