Pulwama and after

The Hindu  

Something curious happened during the recent India-Pakistan crisis: India may have lost the battle of perceptions, but it still won the war of interests. And Prime Minister Narendra Modi never addressed the nation during India’s worst security crisis in years. While this promise, made many times before, will understandably be treated with scepticism in New Delhi, fresh global pressure may give India some new hope. Meanwhile, except for a strongly worded statement from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, few countries, as Pakistan would have liked them to do, have pushed for a greater focus on Kashmir and how India’s brutal tactics there stir unrest, spark bilateral tensions, and help produce extremists. In effect, Pakistan isn’t isolated, and it has powerful friends, but India has been more successful in getting the international community to support its interests.
