INDIA—PAKISTAN: ARMED TO A POINT
By A. Hariharan
New Delhi: The Armed forces of India and Pakistan are fully geared for war. “From alert to scramble should not take more than two minutes”, said India’s minister for Defence Production last week. And sabre-rattling goes on all the time. Car strikers proclaiming “Crush India” and “Conquer India” are out in force in Lahore, Karachi and other Pakistan cities. Indian Defence Minister Jagjivan Ram said a new war would be fought on Pakistani soil and India would not only take the cities of Lahore and Sialkot in Punjab but keep them for good.
