    Vishal Khandekar asked: What is the current status of the Kulbhushan Jadhav case?

The proceedings in the ICJ are still going on with regard to India's request for consular access to Jadhav. India filed its reply to Pakistan's submissions to the Court on April 17, 2018. Pakistan submitted its rejoinder on July 17, 2018.

    Harsha Gowda asked: What is ‘strategic restraint’? Does following the policy of ‘strategic restraint’ consistently make India a rather soft state?

    Abhay Kumar Singh replies: Resolve and restraint are two key aspects in examining problems of conflict. Resolve refers to state’s willingness to use force for the resolution of a dispute or a crisis in its favour. Restraint refers to the use of other coercive options, viz. diplomatic, psychological and economic, for the attainment of the same objectives without resorting to the use of force.
