You know very well nothing like that is going to happen in India. The Indian leaders do not show any spine in tackling the Muslim terrorism inside their own country. When the Indian parliament was attacked by Pakistan supported Muslim terrorists, Lashkar-e- Toiba, India was almost set to attack Pakistan but was cowed down by USA not to do that so that their " war on terror "in which Pakistan is supposedly their ally, won't be adversely affected.

However, since then the same Muslim terrorists in India have carried out several attacks on public places, Hindu temples, commuter trains in Mumbai killing and maiming hundreds of Indian citizens. The Indian government's response to allthese attacks is pathetic to say the least. One wonders how such a government stays in power inspite of this horrible performance

So in the final analysis though India should learn a lot from a tiny but brave nation of Israel but it won't. Such is India's history and destiny.
