Lately, passive calls for rationality are useless; strength guarantees security. India can learn from China's experience that aggression can be countered by possessing world-class [technology](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/301558/how-technology-is-changing-education) and forging strategic partnerships. The message should be clear: challenges will meet unrelenting resistance. **Diplomacy Backed by Resolve** RAW power, not political emotions, brings change across the globe. India needs an aggressive foreign policy; it is the fourth largest country by size and should assert itself.

Leadership begins with unshakable self-belief. --- Original Source: https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/88115/a-strong-india-must-lead-with-strength-not-sympathy Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
