Well, at the time when it happened it was maybe the correct decision to make, In one stroke India, Proved its supremace. It was a bold decision, but on humanitarian grounds it was the best decision to make. It is understood that now it is become the cradle of militancy in the North East, but we are not astrologers and could not predict that it would happen. But had it not been done, it could have been even worse. The true propogator of militancy is not that we made them independent, but poverty, due to being looted by the pakistanis. Maybe if it was still East Pakistan, we would have fought militancy on 3 fronts, Kashmir, NE and WB. what are rare cross border skirmishes, would have been outright war. The Hon. Indira Gandhi was maybe the last PM we had who had a resolve of steel. Wars are bad anywhere they happen, but one fought for a just cause is good. Atleast better than the US attacking Iraq, Vietnam when they had no problem like we did what with refugees by the thousands (90000 ) coming to us for help. And flimsy excuses like WMD's. There is a saying from the Bhagwad Gita, "Karmanye Vah dhikarasye, Ma faleshu Tadachana" Do your work without thinking of the outcome. What has to be done has to be done. What we say now is what we see, but Imagine if we had not done what we did, what would have happened...
