What the world sees is just a border, two nations locked in a history of blood and pride. But beyond the headlines and battlefields, there's another war—silent, invisible, and far more dangerous. It’s a war waged not with guns, but with influence, strategy, and greed. There are powers watching from the shadows that don't wear uniforms or raise flags. They don't care who wins, because to them, both sides are just pawns. The fire keeps burning because they keep feeding it. You think it's about land, history, or religion. Maybe once. Not anymore. Now, it's about control, distraction, and profit. Because when India and Pakistan bleed, they win.
On May 22, 2025, terrorists attacked Pahalgam, a tourist location in India. The key thing to note is how they killed. They targeted only men, and before they killed, they asked your religion. If you weren't a Muslim, you were dead. If you claimed to be a Muslim, they demanded you recite a verse from the Quran. If you failed, you were dead. Following this, India attacked Pakistani terrorist camps—not the Pakistani military or its civilians. In return, Pakistan attacked India's military. You’ve seen the details on the news, so I won’t waste your time repeating the story.
Let's look at the real agenda. The US has applied huge tariffs on China, and China has retaliated. Because of this, companies are shifting their production pipelines to India to take advantage of cheap labor. This is where the geopolitics come in. China is using a proxy—its new proxy, Pakistan. Historically, Pakistan was a proxy of the US, but now the tables have turned. China is using Pakistan to project to the world that India is not a stable economy. This terrorist attack, even though India stopped it, was enough to create a narrative of instability that will disrupt India's market in the long term. This is the hidden agenda.
This is nothing new for Pakistan, which projects itself as a victim of terrorism while it actively operates and exports it. The 26/11 attack in Mumbai had clear links to Pakistan. The 9/11 attack on the US Twin Towers was also related to Pakistan. The list of terrorists who reside in Pakistan goes on: Osama bin Laden, Kasab, Dawood Ibrahim. Terrorism has become a regenerating mechanism for them. You kill one terrorist, and his group projects him as a martyr who sacrificed his life for his so-called god. This boosts morale and they recruit more terrorists to launch more attacks. It’s a cycle.
The situation is so fragile that even the US, which initially claimed the conflict was "not our business," got involved when intelligence suggested something catastrophic was about to happen. There were two possibilities: either Pakistan was going to use a nuclear weapon, or India was going to use its navy. A nuclear exchange would be devastating. Millions would die instantly. Millions more would wish they had, as their skin burned off. The land would become a radioactive wasteland. A nuclear cloud would form, poison the Himalayas, and contaminate the water of the entire northern region. A nuclear winter would follow.
The second scenario is India using its navy. India's naval power is tremendous. In 1971, India not only divided Pakistan but created an entirely new country, Bangladesh, after 90,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered. This is the kind of power India holds.
Meanwhile, the media in both countries is flushing out useless garbage to create fear and cash in on TRP. Pakistani media projects that they've attacked Delhi and Mumbai. Indian media projects that they've attacked Islamabad and Lahore. It's all hilarious and baseless, designed to profit from fear during a time of war when people are looking for truth.
For those people sitting safely in their homes, wishing for a war—it's easy for you to say. You have nothing at stake. Your house isn't on the border, and your family isn't in danger. The government never suffers from war. The ones who suffer are common civilians, people like us who just want peace. The 29 innocent people killed by terrorists had nothing to do with this religious or political warfare, but they still had to lose their lives.
