India’s government, which has reacted to previous terrorist outrages with calm and restraint, has no choice this time but to respond decisively. Anything that smacks of temporizing and appeasement will further inflame the public a few months before national elections are due.
对之前的恐怖分子暴行反应镇定和克制的印度政府，在这次除了坚决做出回应之外别无选择。任何带有见风使舵和绥靖政策意味的东西，在印度全国大选前的几个月，都会进一步激怒公众。
