Clarifying in this context, means bringing his stance in line with OFFICIAL policy. the statement he made was apparently prior to his current posting. Our concern in this thread is not official policy, as that is always a reflection of economic and political expediency (Realpolitik dictates they stay clear of issues that get the Indians upset), but rather what govt officials believe or understand to be fact in their real assessment of truths on the ground.

I am always amazed by how docile everyone assumes the Indian state to be. Ruthlessness is not something unheard of in indian politics, and the way in which India has conducted itself in Kashmir, makes is it abundantly clear that where Kashmir is concerned, India will go to any length to secure its interests.

hm! so you are a fly in the walls of pentagon and heard them define ‘clarify’ as this ? obviously it is a habit with you people to just make up stuff, then change definitions to suit those made up stances and finally use each others’s made up nonsense as corraboration. Realpolitik indeed! You have no clue what you are talking about here because ‘your concern’ is imaterial to pentagon or India!

Until you open up to reality you will continue to be ‘amazed’ as you say
