...domestic pressure to retaliate forcefully for two grisly attacks in as many weeks in Kashmir, has said it will give Musharraf time to act on that promise. But if he fails to, it will go to war. And as if to drive home the Arafat comparison, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee this week wrote to President Bush to warn that India has last all faith in Musharraf and is unable do business with him. Avoiding a war now will depend, Vajpayee warned, either on a complete and unlikely turnabout by Musharraf, or else on his ouster - a position familiar...
...Kabbah. INDIA Jammu's "Massacre of Innocents" Tension between India and Pakistan over the disputed territory of Kashmir rose when three gunmen killed 34 people in a raid on the Kaluchak army base in Jammu.

INDIA To Lower the Flames of Hatred With 817 people already dead in the worst intercommunal strife in a decade, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee belatedly visited the western state of Gujarat.

Vajpayee told victims that the failure of the local administration to prevent the violence would be investigated...
...Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee has described the pogrom merely as "unfortunate." Pravin Togadiya, general secretary of the VHP, warns that he can see Hindu sentiment getting even more out of hand. Said one rioter in Ahmadabad, capital of Gujarat, as he watched his comrades pillage a cluster of Muslim homes: "We want to make sure the Muslims never come back." If there is one immutable law of nature, it is that violence begets violence, and hatred spawns more hate (think of the Middle East). India's long national nightmare may just be beginning...
INDIA Late Compromise Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee consulted Hindu and Muslim leaders in an attempt to end simmering religious tensions after riots in the western state of Gujarat left more than 600 dead. The hard-line Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) finally agreed to await a court's verdict on the construction of a Hindu temple at a disputed site at Ayodhya. But Muslim leaders say the VHP's demand for access to an adjacent site could also trigger more sectarian violence...
