India's "coercive diplomacy" against Pakistan not working, writes Happymon Jacob

Another essay by Happymon Jacob. This time he argues that India's "coercive diplomacy" towards Pakistan - which is how he characterises India's refusal to talk to Pakistan - has not worked and is unlikely to work . . .

As Jacob argues, "India’s strategy of compellence has never really worked against Pakistan. And it is unlikely to work in the future." The essay was published in The Hindu. You can also read it at Jacob's blogpage here.
