Menon is resorting to sophistry and is sweeping under the carpet difficult issues.
India faces twin challenges of Totalitarian Islamism and totalitarian Communism.
Since the days of Mohummad Ghazni, Islamism has remained an albatross across our necks. Post 1949 Chinese takeover of Tibet, Chinese Imperialism compounded our problems.
India had suffered on account of our inability to fashion a strategic response to the above problems. Menon's response too does not reflect a strategic response to the above challenges. Mere sophistry and sweeping the core issues under the carpet beyond public view has never helped anyone.
