Time for Restraint, Not Rash Emotion

India has done what it must. Now, only Pakistan’s actions will decide what comes next. India has responded firmly, forcefully, and decisively to the horrific terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 innocent Indian tourists — all men, all breadwinners — leaving behind a trail of widows and shattered families.

Has Congress Gone from Critic to Collaborator?

At a time when national unity should be non-negotiable, the Indian National Congress and its allies are once again playing a shameful and dangerous game.
