The reality is that Shah’s speech was not conventional. He stated everything that erstwhile rulers were reluctant to say. Out of blue, he delivered speech in Urdu and raised serious concerns vis-à-vis Indian behavior. Most important of all, he termed India a trouble-maker in the region. Reaction from across the border is yet to be seen; effectiveness of his speech is yet to bear fruit. The upcoming time will reveal the exact situation.
