India must exercise extreme caution and constraint in its response and show a willingness to work with the Pakistani government during these troubled times. Diplomatic intimidation and flexing of military muscle will serve no productive end. Furthermore, Delhi must collaborate and provide the Pakistani authorities with credible...
