Recently, India did aerial strikes on the terror camps in Pakistan as part of Operation Sindoor, in retaliation for the cowardly terrorist attack on the people vacationing in Pehlgam, where 26 men were killed point blank just because they belonged to the Hindu religion. The terror act drew condemnation from all over the world, so harsh that even the terrorist organization TRF (The Resistance Front), a proxy of a Pakistan-based UN-designated terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, which earlier took the responsibility for the attack, later denied its role in the terror act, owing to some kind of internal audit. However, despite official denials, there's little doubt that the assault bore the imprint of Pakistani support, consistent with its strategic objective of weakening India through sustained low-intensity conflict — the so-called 'thousand cuts' policy. The attacks by Pakistani terrorists on Indian soil are not new, and it would be foolish to assume their stoppage anytime in the future.
Pakistan knows that it can't defeat India in a conventional war. How do we know? Well, they have already tried four times and failed badly. but the question arises, why do they even want to defeat India? what will they get, and who is this 'they' when discussing Pakistan? It's not like India is an aggressor; in fact, it's India that, despite all the nefarious advances by Pakistan, extends the olive branch each time just to be stabbed in the back. But why? Pakistan's economy is in shambles, it's going through all kinds of internal strife, and yet launching terrorist attacks on India is way up on their list of priorities. Why?
One thing that becomes clear from the speeches of Pakistan's key leadership figures is that this conflict is not merely between two nations, nor is it simply about Kashmir. At its core, it is a religious crusade—an ideological war in which Pakistan sees itself as the spiritual successor to figures like Ghori and Ghazni. This is evident in their leaders' rhetoric, including calls to demolish the Somnath temple once their imagined conquest of India is achieved. For Pakistan, the idea of conquering India is not a political goal but a divinely sanctioned mission—a continuation of the medieval invasions that sought to destroy everything the ancient Hindu civilization held sacred. With the Partition, this dream of conquest—embodied in the concept of Ghazwa-e-Hind—was unknowingly embedded into Pakistan’s national psyche, filling the vacuum of identity with a theological narrative. Compromise becomes impossible when a cause is believed to carry the seal of divine approval. After all, how can one negotiate with someone who believes they are carrying out the will of God?
India aims to grow its economy; it has recently overtaken Japan to become the fourth-largest economy in the world. According to UNDP, between 2005 and 2021, India moved 415 million people out of multidimensional poverty. Whether it's the houses made under the government schemes or the 500 million bank accounts opened to connect rural India to the banking sector, India is going all hands on deck on a road to becoming a sustainably developed nation; meanwhile, the neighbors are busy producing Islamic terrorists. The indoctrination started by Zia-ul-Haq is slowly approaching fruition, and this should ring the alarm bells for India, which India has been trying to ignore for some time. However, the Pakistan problem is now on the table, and Bharat can no longer ignore it. She must take concrete steps and address this issue with a more strategic approach, and play the long game to solve this problem once and for all.
