Not a Pushover

According to TOI of 01 Sep, 2011, Shri Salman Khurshid has said that the government might have lost some ground but would soon regain it. "We are not pushovers". Commendable if it means that the GOI has taken the Civil Society challenge seriously and will curb/eliminate corruption.

In many other areas including national security, GOI appears to be a 'pushover' as it invariably avoids retaliatory action. Does not even declare its intention to discipline the offender.

While I am not suggesting that India should resort to use of military force at the slightest provocation/threat, there is an urgent need to at least warn the habitual offenders.
