"Diplomatic moves to isolate Pakistan"

This has been heard so often that it sounds nothing more than mere rhetoric. Of course, there is no harm in trying all that. However, Pakistan would not learn a lesson if a world leader snubs their PM (he, in any case, does not have any importance) or if Bangladesh boycotts the SAARC summit in Pakistan. It is time for some strong actions. 

If India (read government) wants to avoid full-fledged military action then find other ways to teach Pakistan a lesson. Hit them commercially. Ban direct or indirect exports to Pakistan. Put more taxes on multi-nationals who operate both in India as well as Pakistan and make them choose one market. It is okay to take a blow to deliver a knock-out punch. Throw away the Indus Water Treaty. Do something significant.

Yesterday, a minister made a statement that "our patience is running out". Well....you are not the only one.
