In recent times, India has faced several brutal terrorist attacks, the most recent being the Pahalgam attack, which took the lives of 23 innocent Indian citizens. As a nation, India’s counterterrorism efforts have reflected immense restraint and strategic depth, choosing operations like surgical strikes over an all-out war. Yet, there are voices within our own country questioning these actions. It’s time we reflect on the facts, realize the severity of the threat, and unite as a nation.
Terrorists Honored in Pakistan: A Disturbing Reality
It’s disheartening to witness how terrorist figures receive official funerals in Pakistan, attended by ministers and military officials. This raises a serious concern about how a nation can support individuals who are responsible for the loss of innocent lives in India. These actions show that terrorism is deeply embedded in certain state structures of Pakistan, with their government and intelligence agencies allegedly playing a role in supporting such activities.
Operation Sindhoor: India’s Rightful Counterattack
In response to the Pahalgam tragedy, India launched Operation Sindhoor, a precise and calculated move targeting terrorist strongholds. Unlike terrorist outfits that attack public and religious places, India Counterterrorism operations are carefully designed to avoid civilian casualties and strike only the culprits. This ethical precision underscores India’s commitment to justice, not vengeance.
Why Are Some Indians Criticizing India’s Stand?
It’s shocking to see some citizens criticizing their own country’s actions. Living in India, enjoying its freedom, security, and infrastructure, and still sympathizing with a nation whose history includes supporting terrorism against us, how is that justifiable? When 23 Indians lose their lives, it is not just a number; it’s a national tragedy. Silence or misplaced sympathy at such times only weakens our unity.
The History of Terror Attacks from Across the Border
This isn’t the first time. India has faced countless terror attacks from across the border, Mumbai 2008, Pulwama 2019, Uri 2016, and now Pahalgam. Time and again, India has shown maturity and patience. War was never India’s first option. Yet, when action becomes necessary to safeguard national security, we must support it.
Today’s warfare isn’t just on the battlefield; it’s online, psychological, and insidious.
Here are some shocking strategies reportedly used by Pakistan’s intelligence operations:
- Honeytrap Operations: Using fake profiles and romance scams to extract sensitive military information.
- Cyber Attacks and Deepfakes: Using AI tools to manipulate data and photos, blackmailing Indian citizens and soldiers.
- Fake Job Scams: Collecting personal data under the pretext of employment.
- Fake Army Pages and News Portals: Spreading misinformation to divide and manipulate public sentiment.
- Gaming Platforms & Dating Apps: Used to manipulate or spy on Indian youth and veterans psychologically.
- Religious Misinformation Sites: Creating social unrest by spreading false information via fake religious platforms.
These tactics reveal a clear intent: to destabilize India by using our people, emotions, and vulnerabilities.
Illegal Immigration and National Security Concerns
In light of growing threats, India has taken steps to deport illegal immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh. India has always been a land of acceptance, but repeated abuse of this hospitality, often for espionage or terror, cannot be ignored. This move is not based on hatred, but on the necessity of counterterrorism in India and national interest.
India’s Ethical Stand: Surgical Precision, Not Mindless Violence
Unlike terror outfits, India uses advanced military technology worth crores to carry out surgical strikes, minimizing collateral damage and avoiding civilian deaths. This precision stems from values rooted in humanity and ethics, even when dealing with aggression.
A Call for Unity: Support Your Nation
India does not want war. India wants peace, but not at the cost of its people’s safety. When the government takes action to protect its citizens, we must stand united. Questioning without context or supporting a hostile nation is not just illogical, it’s dangerous.
Let us not forget that the enemy’s greatest weapon is our division. Stand firm, stay informed, and always support India.
Final Thought:
We must remain emotionally strong and digitally aware. Let’s not fall prey to manipulation, false narratives, or emotional traps. This is the time to show unity, not confusion. We owe it to the 23 lives lost in Pahalgam and countless others before them to stand with our country and support the right actions for a safer, stronger India.
