"War is something tragic but in this case I think it might be necessary. There is clearly a cause for Maharajadhiraja Krishnaraja to wage war, his nations supplies of water threatened, the constant back and forth over the border, suspected assassination attempts and attacks on their embassies. Now as the Maharajadhiraja seemingly has Topri on the back foot the best long term solution for peace may be to just allow him to complete his victory. Perhaps his request to us is nothing more than a PR stunt. I would say we should send a single letter to Topri offering to host talks between them and Parbhani but beyond that perhaps request to have an observation team to examine the situation for ourselves."
