India has completed the first step of preparedness to wage an attack on selective targets inside Pakistan under the Cold Start doctrine.
According to reports, India has completed its first phase preparations to attack selected targets in Pakistan under the Cold Start strategy. Sources also disclosed that although Pakistan will not initiate an attack, it would respond with full force in case of any strike by India.
The armed forces would not let Indians cross the red line, according to well-placed defence sources.

India has moved military jets and air force personnel to forward air bases to launch surgical strikes as part of the three-phased strategy.
Pakistan has also prepared itself to counter any adventure with full force, they said. The decision to cancel flights to northern areas was taken as a precautionary step.
In a telephonic conversation held a few hours ago, the civil-military leadership expressed satisfaction over Pakistan’s capability to respond to any attack
Measures are being taken with regard to Pakistan’s counter-strategy to defend itself and if an attack is launched from across the border then it would be fully thwarted. The suspension of flight operations in country’s north and sealing of various passages also came as part of the same strategy.
The tensions between the nuclear-armed adversaries have soared recently over deteriorating situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK). Over 100 innocent Kashmiris have been martyred and 8000 wounded by the occupying forces in recent incidents of violence.
Pakistan is up for pursuing the case peacefully in the United Nations as PM Nawaz Sharif on Monday and Tuesday held meetings with the world leaders on the sidelines of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly.
But, it seems that the neighbouring arch-rival has some other agenda to prevent Pakistan from raising voice over IoK atrocities by engaging it in a short-term war.
I would like to see India melt Pakistan into a mirror. Eliminating that hellhole and Saudi Arabia would do away with 90 percent of the world’s terrorism problem.
But:
"The British had nothing to do with the partition.....Over 2,000,000 people died before the British negotiated a partition agreement"
So they kind of, sort of did have some hand in the partition, although it's true they didn't mandate it.
At that point, they just tried to mitigate the carnage. The factors driving partition were the arrogance of the Congress Party, which claimed to represent all Indians, and paranoia on the part of Muslims. They, rightly, saw Congress as Hindu dominated, though to be fair, it was not a religious party, more a socialist/anti-colonialist party, just completely dominated by Hindu elites.
The British, in the wake of WWII just wanted out, multiple attempts to manage the process collapsed due to both Muslim League and Congress Party stubbornness. With millions of people intermixed, there was massive displacement, continuous strife, and borders created that satisfied nobody.
India and Pakistan are fighting over who has the hottest curry........
The winner would be the Srilankans! Seriously, my butt is still feeling the after effects of the srilankan curry I had over two weeks ago!
