Pahalgam witnessed one of the bloodiest terror attacks in Kashmir in over nearly a decade after Pulwama. Twenty six tourists from all over India were shot dead on vertification that they were Hindus. In an interview in media I saw of the wife of a businessman shot dead, she says the terrorists told her ‘to go tell Modi.’ Another newly wed young woman had lost her husband right in front on her eyes. Married on April 16th and on honeymoon. More than that, it is difficult to take for me.
Over years, many of my friends have been vacationing in Kashmir with family that is said to be returning to normal. As summer hots up interior India, families are already finding cooler vacation spots. Kashmir is No.1 choice for many. Tourism has returned to the terror torn state with a bang. Kashmir was in cards for us too. Now a decade of hardwork by Kashmir tour operators has been done to dust. Those who vacation in summer months in Kashmir already are playing steep prices for their resorts and tour packages. So who have been shot dead in Pahalgam must be coming from affluent families. From Kerala to Karnataka and Kanpur and even Nepal and Kolkata, the casualties are from all around India. HANDPICKED HINDUS who were even asked to strip to verify religion before being shot dead at point blank range. Massacred for the only reason of being Hindu. What a nightmare their dream holiday turned out to be.
Needless to point out who is behind the terror attacks. The digital footprint leads all the way across the border to Pakistan. India won’t leave Pakistan unavenged. World leaders have condemned the terror attacks. What is India waiting for. Pakistan is a hopeless country. Even their women were arrested by Spain recently for their involvement in terror activities. Wherever these people permeate, that society will be in tatters soon. Just remember the grooming gangs of UK. Canada is infested with Paki ideology. BBC etc., have been taken over Pakis. They can get anyone banned. They can post their opinion as headlines. They have taken over the broadcasting stations and media in the UK and probably Canada.
Even in India there was a report as to how the ‘peaceful’ community were readying batches of law school aspirants with the sole aim of making them judges someday, to rule judiciary in near future to pass favourable judgments and rewrite laws. India is fighting a multipronged war machine.
I was reading with every sunrise this leading Pak newspaper online regularly. I was surprised to find that one by one their journalists were sent to Washington University for research papers (whatever)? Unless this was reward for them from their spy agency, as a bargain with sponsors like USAID, this couldn’t be happening. Although I never knew of USAID then, I thought probably the Pak spy agency had an understanding with the US govt. My mind just said that this was not normal. Given their shoddy journalism! There is nobody or nothing in Pakistan that is not terror linked. I want to know whether Indian journalists or journalists from other nations receive this kind of academic favours from America. This is why US crackdown on universities on terror elements or terror ideology is welcome. America needs to cleanse campuses of this kind of toxic agents to prevent terror taking roots right in the US soil. This one observation of mine as a casual browser can throw some light on how spies and terror ideology may have infiltrated into every sphere of life in not only Pakistan but also in international academic scene.
The last two cases I mentioned are passive versions of terror that can still leave devastating impact on society. The second tactic is ONLY TO BREED PSEUDO INTELLECTUALS TO PLANT FALSE NARRATIVES. Tool kit journos in the garb of academicians. However this is my personal assumption/deduction. For brainwashing the world intelligentsia, I guess the Pak spy agency is getting even their media journalists trained to do the job. Imagine this kind of influencers in charge of media in UK, Canada, etc., and even the US. Propaganda machinery. That is what the Pak spy agency is trying to make out of their journalists and academicians.
Now we have US weeding out their campuses of terror sympathizers which is an excellent move. Exactly I was thinking about the Pak journalists spying for their nation even in American soil!
I am just writing here what comes to my mind. I could be wrong. But my intuitions says this is how things pan out.
Turbulence in my mind: Whenever things like this happens, my equilibrium gets somehow disturbed. Not that I take things so personally. But something goes amiss. Not a great day for me, today. Acts of violence and visuals can numb you I guess. Felt low and closed my kitchen and puja that I rarely do. Ate out my lunch. To that extent I guess this seems to affect me even though I can’t believe this reaction can be possible at all from me sitting here thousands of miles away and watching what is going on in my dear Hindu nation. See the timing: right during US VP Vance’s visit and when our PM Modi had flown out to Saudi on two day visit.
Meanwhile India WILL strike back. From what I have written down and believe in, the idea of terror seems to be deeply entrenched in Pak society at all levels. We have a very complicated scenario here. Pakistan must be isolated completely with sanctions imposed heavily on them. When will the US wake up. Can Obamas explain why Pak journalists turned into research fellows in DC univ? Who were the sponsors.
I think even Indian media may have missed out on this. Soft terror is even more dangerous. This can corrupt, pollute the public mindset.

After Mumbai 26/11, with India holding Pakistan terrorist involved in the massacre, we had every reason to take out Lahore or Karachi totally. But the ‘nalayak’ Congress govt developed cold feet. However Modi govt is a different story. Expecting swift justice. And this time Pakistan should not be able to get up for a long, long time from the deathly blow.
Had the Pakistani terrorist Kasab not been caught redhanded in Mumbai 26/11, not only Pakistan media but even those of Indian media like the Hindu (Hindu by name only, in reality Hallelujah Mullah) , Congress and especially the BBC would have called it an inside job squarely holding BJP/RSS responsible. The toolkit like the DC research fellow journos of Pakistan could have even succeeded in convincing the world with their conspiracy theory.
