The civilized mode of raising issues of terrorism in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) have repeatedly been “blocked” by member states to extend a protective cover to Pakistan, which runs the world’s most successful terror factories and exports all its produce, threatening not only international peace but also security Added to all these problems is the baggage of secularism, which is shared by no other country with India. In effect, the secular India has no friends to come to its rescue. This century will witness the worst conflicts of human history. The present day India is not prepared to face such a challenge because it has failed to devise any strategy so far. Every decision of the government has its opponents. Politicians speak in different voices. Even national interests are undermined for no justification.
