When you are in a land that is surrounded by enemies and yet has the strongest tradition of non violence (from the days of the Mahabharat when the Pandavs shunned violence for half their lives in hope of a peaceful resolution,to Buddha and Emperor Asoka(who preached Buddhism to the farthest reaches of South Asia),To Gandhi (Who observed restraint even as he shed tears at Jallianwalla bagh--Look what the Brits did to us here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallian...h_massacre),to more recently by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who according to me is an unsung hero of Non violence.Look at his demeanor towards Pakistan(even after 26/11) and China and the Maoists.

We are not a WAR HUNGRY Nation of numbskulls
