I was amazed to see the number of times the author mentioned "We didnt think of getting assitance of a foreign power to control our leaders, that would have been anti-national". Well, the author should rise to the new world (dis)order. This is the effect of globalization. Our national leaders have answerable not only to the people who vote for them but also to the shareholders of the emerging market equity funds who invest , leading to high FDIs and economic boom, currently experienced by India. Will buring down a PepsiCo plant as a vengeance for denail of Modi's visa lead to any loss of any American. Well, S&P and Moody's will consider all of these factors as soveriegn risk and investing communities will demand risk premium for it. If rioting Hindu lunatics dont behave then all investment will goto other deserving East Asian countries where riots are not a once a year phenomena.
The bottom line is that modern warfare is economic and Indian leaders are answerable to the world and the new globalized world has the right to intervene in domestic matters. Sovereignity is a myth.
