No one wants a war with Bangladesh. No one even expects it, save the most radical ones and idiots. But everyone wants that the guilty be punished, right up to the highest levels, for their crime of killing Indian jawans. We want justice and we want to see it happen. No one wants India declare war on Bangladesh, but no one wants that for the sake of friendly neighbours, the guilty should go unpunished.
Restraint is based on mutual respect, mutual regard, and courage of conviction.
But sadly, I, at least don't expect anything to happen. Because in India, we are proving once more, that some lives are cheaper than others. Poor jawans, hailing from lower income families, don't count for much. Of course, if even one officer in the Indian high commission in Dhaka had been killed and his body carted around on a pole, you can be sure that there would have been bedlam all around. Our political leaders, our diplomatic and bureaucratic babus would have bellowed blue murder and the government would have acted much more firmly, demanding and getting the culprits to pay.
