India lacks killer instinct

Mumbai police commissioner D Sivanandan has said unlike Israel, which reacts to any terror attack promptly, India lacked the killer instinct against those who carry out such attacks. “For thousands of years, we have been passively witnessing terror attacks. We never went to fight with anybody. That’s what our main problem is and we lack the killer instinct,’’ he said. “We cannot go and wage a war against Pakistan, China or anybody else. But Israel never keeps quiet. Israelis go on their flights, bombard the fellows (enemies), come back and keep quiet. But when we become aggressive, we face international pressure.’’
