India is no America and Pakistan is no Afghanistan. Their nuclear arsenal is far behind Pakistan's in sophistication and they have 75% population earning less than 2$ a day. Dont pretend to be a super power. You are far from it. Their record on treatment of minorities is worse than Pakistan.

Jaber Malik, Woking, England

USA dont have proof yet.they attacked Afghanistan..useless, attacked Iraq useless.. because they dont had patience, world is in danger,a great danger economically,socially,militants, who were so called heroes of century. In Indo-Pak case patience is going to win battle, build trust move forward.

Khurram, Karachi, Pakistan

we have to develope piece.have to minimize blame game.

It is about time that the two countries realise that they could both benifit from co-existing with each other.We have to commend India for showing extra-ordinary restraint after Mumbai episode. A lot of Indians blamed lack of security as much as the act of terror. Next time it may be different!!

Pakistan is a nuclear state and the ruling govenrnment is so weak that there is a great danger of millitants getting control of nuclear weapons. If US & UK believes that Pakistan is source of world terrorism, why not they join hands with India for joint action than just giving fruitless warnings?

Nimish Patgaonkar, Mumbai, India

I m not sure if India has made any real progress in comparision to Pakistan..if you consider millions of people living under the poverty line...several armed resistence movements and fanatic hindus killing christains/muslims whenever they can.
Its all cosmetic...made up

Would you try to give the same advice to Israel? No? huh....I thought so.

It's easy to urge India to be patient but does that mean India has to wait till Pakistan settles it's political differences?? Pakistan's political history shows that's going to be nowhere soon.

India have been a victim of Sponsored terrorism for decades and Pakistan a safe heaven for terrorists.

Mohan, Montreal, Canada

India should apologise to Pakistan for not having a third cheek to be slapped ( the other two have been slapped already).

Shib Das, Guangzhou, China

It's high time the whole world realize how terrorism is deeply rooted in Pakistan and act instead of urging India to be patient.

India has been patient for decades but the problem still persists. when any western countries cannot tolerate and be patient on terrorism why should India be??

Mohan, Montreal, Canada

yes well done oh gopal

bradley, manchester, uk

How many times can anyone be patient, seeing their neighbor's trash spill into their house? And the neighbor keeps denying it with no measure in sight to stop the crap. Patience is probably a western principle meant for everyone else to follow.

Naveen, NYC,

Mumbai attack is a serious caution to the world.

now the whole world sees that there are well organized terrorist groups running in Pakistan soil.

how do we say tomorrow they will not attack other countries AAA,BBB,CCC..?

it is not only a problem to India, it is a problem to the world.

Mr.green, Dallas, USA

Pakistan can never be a secular democracy. The official name is Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Islam and Republic never go together. Or for that matter any religion and republic never go together. Religion should be strictly kept within the four walls of your house and the four walls of the temple

Raghav, Austin,

Were Americans patient after 9/11, were people in the UK willing to make 'concessions' after the London bombings ?

India is a democracy and its people want the those guilty of terrorism caught and punished. The ball is totally in Pakistan's court !

FYI Pak is already in the top 10 failed states.

Vikram, Burnaby, Canada

There is so much of factual evidence & proof, Pak authorities are either trying to be blind or just too scared to accept the facts. Many helpless Hindus, Indian Muslims, Jews, Yanks, Brits & other nationalities were massacred. Pak must help victims of this atrocity to justice & closure.

Pushpa, Brisbane, Australia

This is an indian article and of course indians folks are so proud to be indian that they simply dont see any problem in india. Let me remind everyone, india is no super in any way. look at the history Muslim ruled sub-continent for almost one thousand year. And Inshallah muslims will do it again!

Khan Gul, Morgan Town, USA

1. India's rise will have to be inclusive of all South-Asian (SA) neighbours. Inter-school/college quizzes, sports.. events would help restore trust. 2. Armed radicals have to be dealt with in SA.
Message in the next five-or-so years from India: We do care for your welfare, trust us, we'll be there.

Ram, London, United Kingdom

It has become a cliche for every journalist to draw the historical timeline stopping with ISI creating this and that outfit. It would be credible to delve a little further back in history and state that many of these jihadi outfits were created by ISI for the convenience of USA to fight the Soviets.

Amjad Shah, Solihull, UK

why was not the US patient with the then Taliban Afghanistan and Iraq?

Praveen Raj, Bangalore, India

A great intelligent article, taking a realistic approach, to the extremely complex situation in Pakistan, it's clear Pakistan is shifting it's tact on extremism, and terrorism, as the general public in Pakistan is somewhat secular as evidance from the secular government the people elected.

Rahoon , Leeds, England

Its nice to appeal to India's generosity and request more concessions.

How about American culpability? Billions of dollars being pumped into Pakistan that are directly and indirectly being used to undermine India? That is the real issue.
