India needs to be ruthless

We are a nation that gained independence through non-violence. Ever since, we have mistakenly believed that non-violence is the answer to the Hindu Muslim issue. This has never allowed us to be ruthless in our fight against acts of war or terrorism.
We need to learn from Israel in how to respond to threats from its neighbours. They are waging war against the Palestinians and the Lebanese for the release of three soldiers. We lost 185 of our citizens and we think we know who is responsible. So let's go and wage war against the people or the country that is harbouring them.
Are we going to punch the bully or turn the other cheek?
