I’m Reading These News As There’s A Siren Absolutely BLASTING Outside My Window Because Russia’s

why do the people with this stance justify the killing of innocent civilians in Pahalgam as 'well what did you expect when the govt occupied it'?

Setting aside the belligerent stupidity of the occupation nonsense, who made these people the incharge of deciding 25 Indians and 1 Nepali citizens were a-okay to kill because of a terrorist groups' crusade against the government if this is their stance on Pakistani civilians? Where was the outrage for the terorrists killing people instead of sending a strongly worded letter to the UN or whatever the hell you are expecting India to do in response to the killing of innocents?

My guy, either no civilians are fair game or all are. You don't get to decide Indian and Nepali lives matter less than your problematic faves lives. You're the one who started the grandstanding, at least stick to it.

terrorism isn't the fault of a state or its government though. just because terrorists allegedly from a given country carried out an attack doesn't really justify a military operation in that country. especially if everyone is opposed to those terrorists

Terrorism is not the fault of the helpless civilians of the state who are equally affected by it. However, terrorism is the fault of the government of the state, that continues to take no action and instead provide training to the terrorists, putting not only their country but countless innocent civilians - who despise terrorism as much - at risk. The attack - not only Pahalgam but countless cases of cross border terrorism which average atleast 2 incidents a year weren't "allegedly" from a specific country. Terror groups from within thay country have taken responsibility for most of the attacks including Pahalgam. Military operation has to be proceeded with if the terror harbouring country has been given numerous chances to combat and eliminate the terrorism on their own but have failed to do so over and over again and instead provide increased support. I understand that the Pakistani civilians don't like terrorism as much people think they do, because the rising levels of terrorism has an adverse effect on them as well but their own government and military has to understand this as well and work according to the needs of their people instead of inviting even more trouble.

Krishna ki Chetavani (Rashmirathi) by Agam Aggarwal. It's modernised music + vocals for a truly amazing poem by the poet Rashmirathi about an event from a literal epic.

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.

Guys the IMF always does this. They have done it twice before lol.

May 18, 1971: Pakistan got $25 million 54 days after Operation Searchlight, during the Bangladesh genocide (300,000–3 million killed).

November 29, 1999: Pakistan got $1.56 billion ~4 months after Kargil.

The west wants to fund a war while rattling on about de-escalation only to India. Why else would imf approve a loan this big

Hindutva is simply the word 'Hindu' with a suffix (Sanskrit) -tva which means 'being'.

Hindutva means - being Hindu. That's all it is.

I'm Hindu, so my spiritual existence is that of Hindutva.

I also have literal family members, people my immediate blood has married and had kids with, who are Sikh. No one hates them. No one tries to subsume them. My family traces its bloodline to Brahmins and follows spiritual rituals and practices today that match those Brahmins. We don't give a shit about what their social philosophy was. However, unlike the popular villainous characterisation there is no abuse of any caste by my family. I'm married to someone who is not from the same caste. My family had exactly 0 problems with the marriage. My sister-in-law, also a practicing Hindu, is married to a practicing Christian.

My Karavali in my wedding (like a Bridesmaid + Flower Girl) was my best friend's daughter. My best friend who is Benne Israeli, which is a particular group of people in India who practice the Jewish faith.

Admittedly, no one in my family is married to a Muslim. That is fear-borne, we lost my grandfather in a riot where some specific Muslims lynched my grandfather. This fear doesn't stop us from being perfectly normal colleagues to Muslims. I've worked for 7 years now with a team where 40-45% of my colleagues have been normal patriotic non-extremist Muslims. I tend to get pangs of anger whenever I hear about Hindus being further victimised by extremist Muslims and I ensure I talk about it with my therapist so there is no spilling of these anger towards people who didn't do anything to deserve it.

I live in a part of the country where there aren't many people of faiths other than these.

I'm not mentioning any friends of the family etc because that is very "oh but I'm friends with black people" vibe. I'm only telling you about people my family has had a reason to love or fear and how that has affected us till date.

Hindutva has nothing to do with being an extremist.

Pakistan is directly targeting civilians in India.

Fuck Pakistan.

you simply cannot separate the religious aspect from the kashmir terrorist attacks.

these people were not just random tourists they were murdered for being HINDUs after being violently humiliated and mocked for their faith in HINDUISM.

this was an act of terror perpetrated by those who despise hindus. period. and anyone who seeks to downplay this and say peace is for all and there’s no two sides to this are mere cowards who will never accept how rampant hinduphobia is and how soft targets hindus are because of our own inability to ever come together and take a stand. over and over again hindus have been targeted.

and once again any action that india takes will be twisted and analyzed wrongly by western idiots and secular believers who do not realize that the very country where hindus should be safe is failing them.

Pakistan wrapping up bodies of terrorists in its flag really tells you everything you need to know about this nation and its sick mentality

Here's BBC talking about a militant's immediate family (BBC's preferred noun for terrorists) were killed in this strike : https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjewen7w192o

His family that lives with him, mind you. They are fully aware and support his terrorist actions.

Here is his wikipedia page, which also calls him a militant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masood_Azhar

I am so sick of people going around saying 'OmG InDia Has StaRTed WaR. It Is ATtacKiNg InNocenTs'. Freaking it never did? it has attacked on The Terrorist BASE CAMPS. And about the children dying do you think those children are not being trained to be a terrorist? Fucking hell. It was a precise attack not targeted at civilians but terrorists.

And to all those who say 'nothing can justify war' oh really? so what, you want us to just shut up while those terrorists invade...yes INVADE into our country kill the innocent and threaten our existence and we just shut up and be like 'oh okkk let's just endure this silently and they'll get bored of this'? dude outsiders really don't understand the severity of it do they. Bitch do you even realise that there are nearly 100...100! sleepers cells of Pakistani terrorists in Bangalore alone!! which is like one city. Now does it sound serious? now does it invoke fear of your existence? imagine there are nearly 100 sleeper cells or terrorists in your city who can launch an attack on you at any moment. Then? now shall we stay silent? now shall we talk about peace? no they must be gone. yes I do agree that we must not attack innocent civilians and I do hope that this won't turn into a full blown war. But the terrorists...an abomination to the world and infact their religion too. must be eradicated. Every play has turns to play. Pakistan played it first. And now it's our turn. It's only natural. Every action has an equal and Opposite reaction.

It's because we're not getting their hint. They're saying lives of the people who are the family of terrorists matter more than innocent civilian tourists. Why? Because Islam is the cool religion to follow, so what if a few of its followers are killing innocents unprovoked in Israel and India? So what if a few of its followers are grooming and raping children in the UK?

Don't you see some of them are not allowed to settle their own cities in the United States? Some people are racist towards some followers of Islam in some Western countries. So, other followers of Islam must be allowed to kill innocent civilians indiscriminately elsewhere. If you don't agree you are racist.

They get to feel cool and morally superior. So what if some innocent civilians somewhere else have to die for their kewl anti-establishment 'image'? Don't you know these woke lives matter the most? followed by Islamic extremist lives? The rest of the world comes after that.

Here's proof from their beloved BBC about the Terrorists's family: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjewen7w192o

And if you now want to come at me saying just because they are his immediate family who lives with him they aren't terrorism supporters or sympathisers I have a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying.

People online are such hypocrites because theyre mourning the loss of civilian life in Pakistan but I never saw a single tweet from them related to pahalgam💀💀

Hinduphobia and racism towards Indians has only gone up recently; it's just sad, honestly. They make up these false statistics about how India produces rapists when they're nowhere near the top of the list (hint: it's a problem with MEN, not Indians). They use it as an excuse to shit on Indians, and Indians, especially Hindus, tend to be passive in order to seem "secular." Fun fact: they don't give a shit if you're "secular;" you're not safe from their terrorism as we just saw. If we don't stand up for ourselves, how can we expect others to do so?
