I don't blame Nehru for Kashmir or many of the ill-advised policies (mainly the "License Raj"). The realities of that time were much different and he couldn't have possibly foreseen much of these disasters. However, his FOREIGN POLICY was an ABSOLUTE DISASTER. Follies were visible right from the beginning. Even after the "Himalayan" sized China blunder, no effort was made to re-assess our geopolitics. We have simply let many of these "Do kaudi aukat" nations simply walk over us. Even today not much has changed. It is good that we are helping Sri Lanka but we must ensure that we extract our pound of flesh for this help.

"Crisis" is too strong of a word. Their macros are pretty strong. Borrowing from IMF is not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone borrows. For future reference, if you wish to check if a country is in crisis simply check its Bond Yield and Bond Rating. The yield over a 10-year Bangladeshi bond is about 8.35% and their credit rating is BB- in comparison India's yield is 7.4% and credit rating is BBB-. Pak and Sri Lanka have 13.3 and 26.8% yields and B- and SD as credit ratings.
