Puzzling

If you had ordered,
I would have followed, most obediently.
If you had wished,
I would have tried, with full faith.
If you had desired,
I would have turned, for your desires are my wish.

But you want acceptance,
I did not know that.
But you want freedom,
I did not know that.
But you want sincerity,
I did not know that.

Indo-Pak War

The situation around LOC is grim.
There were attacks from Pakistan in Uri and many of our soldiers lost their lives.
India retaliated and caused considerable damage to the Pakistani forces on the other side of the LOC.
India has a policy of no first attack.
Getting provoked and responding to the provocation is being defensive. Not responding is loosing time. Responding with an attack would be serious.
