“Let there be no ambiguity. Any military misadventure by India will be met with a swift resolute and notched-up response”.

Those are the words of the Pakistani Military Chief General Syed Asim Munir spoken to his army while in the field as they prepared for a possible hot war with Indian. However, for India his words are less of a threat and considered to be nothing more than posturing. It’s been two weeks since the terrorist attack in Kashmir next to the town of Pahalgam that left over 25 people killed and dozens of others wounded.

While governing bodies such as the United Nations and other major world powers such as America and Russia take the position that India and Pakistan should engage in peace talks and seek to de-escalate the situation, India has been engaging in various military drills to display to the international community what Pakistan may be up against in the near future should India decide to retaliate militarily. Our prediction here at VEDA Communications is that India will do nothing of the sort because according to sources, India has never demonstrated on a large enough scale nor does it have the military skill to combat terrorism in any part of the world, let alone Pakistan. For if it [India] had the skill and resources, it would have done so already considering the feud that’s been going on between the two nations since before the 1947 partition between India and Pakistan.

For the United Nations and other major world powers, they aren’t so concerned about the safety of the Indian or Pakistani people. Instead, they are more concerned about the possible deployment of nuclear weapons between the two countries. For them, nuclear war is always bad for business in the financial sense. While major world powers are pushing diplomatic dialogue between the two countries, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking the position that India will “pursue every terrorist and their backers to the ends of the earth”. These are strong words but lack any real- world application as the world knows that America and the United Kingdom are two of the biggest backers of terrorism on the face of the earth. This begs the question: is India ready to confront America and the United Kingdom? The obvious answer is “no”.

The conflict between India and Pakistan is one that is both based upon differences in cultural ideas, political, and religious perspectives. The decades longs rivalry between India, home of Hinduism and Pakistan which consist of an overwhelming majority of practicing Muslims it was seems to be at the heart of the conflict. While it was reported the Indian Prime Minister Modi has waged a war on Muslims within India, Pakistan has taken a big step against secularism which Indians are guilty of both involuntarily and culturally. Also, Indian and practicing Hindu’s face discrimination and religious persecution, targeted acts of violence in Pakistan, and of course religious blasphemy.

It should be noted that prior to this year’s terror attack in Kashmir, there was a suicide bombing in the Kashmir in 2019 which led to India conducting limited airstrike that led to no resolve in regard to easing the tensions between the two countries. Neither nation is innocent in how they treat each other.
