Purity of Means is as important as purity of end.

“Saadhan-Shuddhi is as important as Sadhya-Shuddhi”, meaning sanctity of means are as important as purity of purpose. I had heard this but now I understand this concept in its true meaning.
Pakistan is at a terror war with India. Time has proved that Pakistan has no real intention of stop war, direct or by proxy. Not even normal trade relations are possible with Pakistan. At least one world class Pakistani cricketer, Javed Miandad has chosen to be related to the known terrorist.
In such scenario, it makes no sense having pally relations with Pakistan and inviting their cricketers to play in India. It makes no sense to invite their artistes for shows in India. .
Lets face it, that Pakistan issue will not be solved with superficial remedies, such as Aman Ki Asha.. Only Indian initiative will not bring about change in Pakistani approach towards India.. India should insist on complete compliance to ceasefire accord by Pakistan.. Before starting such remedial surface measures.
Shri Balasaheb Thackrey and Shivsena’s theory is not completely wrong but their actions are distasteful. No sensible Indian can approve “ Love Pakistan” on the front page of TOI as it is an open insult to the country but one can not go and burn down the press, by the same token, aggressive action by Shivsena is anti-democratic and anti-national.
In the case of Shivsena, their purity of purpose is getting killed as their conduct is inappropriate. As they say, everything in excess is poisonous and to bow down till your kicked is a cowardly conduct but at the same time, to assert to non- peaceful measures to forcefully get your action approved, will only spread enimosity.
