Several debates have opened up after the four day long India Pakistan ‘war’. First, when India was in a top form of attack, why did it agree to a ceasefire, probably suggested by Pakistan? The war mongering ‘bhakts’ were very upset and went to the extent of becoming abusive to the foreign secretary and even to one of the gallant spokesperson, as if they had taken the decision to stop the war. The President of America however claimed that he stopped the war by threatening to stop trade with the two countries if they did not cease to fight. This third party interference is debatable and India denies such a move.
