agenda - strategic ? economic?

"For the United States, lately counting on her availability to protect their agenda in Pakistan, the loss is irreplaceable."
-- A K Verma

In this era of congruent policies do they automatically become India's agenda as well?

The defence of Pakistan is basically defence of its original Constitution which also serves as its economic engine. It is the most potent safeguard against any misadventure by Pakistani establishment against India.

It is for US to make their policies congruent to this subcontinental need. Nahin to....!

So far US has been able to strategically arrive at a 'Heads I win, Tails you lose'. But now the risks to India are far too high. It would be now win-win or lose-lose situation only.

It is most unlikely that Indian leadership led by Mr. Singh will compromise its intellectual integrity by letting down those lawyers and Muslim League who root for restoring their guardians of Constitution who were sumarily swept aside. It sure would be his utmost priority and his patience need not be construed as weakness by Occidental minds.

Having said what probably needed to find an expression, time to cut short and fade away.

Cutting Short
-----------------------------------------
To speak good words is not easy,
You got to dwell on those long deeds;
But in a short while
Gushes wordy vile;
Spewing bad blood in great style!
