Our magnanimity of making unilateral concessions is probably unparalleled in world history even though we get harmed, killed in the process. We have become so resilient that deaths of thousands of jawans and innocent Bhartiyas in India does not seem to make us angry or may I ask, have we become so selfish?
While I have gone from the book have chipped in with my comments in between.

The South is ahead of the North in terms of dance, music, culture, educational institutions and is in the forefront of India’s knowledge based industries, Information Technology...
