Just heard of the drone strike in Ferozepur that injured three people. Pakistan is openly attacking Indian civilians. This is a mask off moment for them, but I guess the average Tumblr americanised leftie doesn't think it's wrong for Pakistan to be doing so.
Pakistan is inching closer to mainland India slowly, and PEOPLE ON TUMBLR ARE ASKING US OF ALL PEOPLE TO DEESCALATE. Do they not know we will all die or get Ghazwa-e-hinded if we stop resisting. Here in America people are so blissfully ignorant and most don’t even know what is going on and the others are like yeah India and Pakistan are fighting like usual no big deal, while I am refreshing India today continuously to see if my country is safe. The ignorance here is sickening. Only my world history teacher understands what is going on……
I’m glad they’re ignoring it. I’m not ready for “American middle east experts” to jump on the “South Asian expert” band wagon rn. I don’t want to live through the trauma of our peoples deaths being minimised and explained away by some asshole on the internet because they want to seem neutral and peace loving. I’m not ready for the DARVO and the justification of terrorism that these people are used to doing in other conflicts around the world. I want them to fuck off and leave us alone.
Just hope that Pakistan stops bombing and starts de-escalating soon. No one wants to be in a war except for the terrorist Pakistani military that refuses to back down and is targeting civilians.
Hafiz Abdul Rauf was designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) by the US Treasury (Federal Register Confirmation) in 2010 over his involvement in carrying out multiple terror attacks in India, including the 26/11 Mumbai attacks of 2008 and the Mumbai serial train blasts in 2006.
In the video above you see a Pakistani TV channel covering a state funeral where this literal terrorist is given the same respect as their actual military.
India’s current stance, as per the Ministry of Defence statement, is to respond to Pakistan’s actions in a focused and measured way, avoiding escalation. India will target military sites if attacked but prefers de-escalation, expecting Pakistan to respect this approach.
Pleading for my exam tomorrow to be cancelled. Can't study jackshit atp. My mind is cooked.
Well. Now to get more serious.
As an indian, this entire india-pak conflict has been enlightening about one thing- other countries don't give a jackshit. Nor does global. In the sense that, the pain india felt due to Pahalgam can never be translated to you.
Disclaimer: I do not hope for a war or escalation. I am just tired of seeing people talk about this stuff in black and white terms.
I am tired of entire narrative with this, "ahhh india attacked civillians!"
Civilian deaths are to be mourned. They shouldn't happen. I pray for their families but the attack was never targeting civilians- unlike what Pak did last night. Which I will get to shortly.
So, it was a calculated retaliation (on terrorist sites) to Pahalgam which was fucking horrific and bone chilling. The entire country was chilled.
And yes. Pahalgam is backed by Pakistan. It has been a pattern. Here is a video to get you started on this mess, entire history of kashmir conflict and what not. The history of terrorism. It has sources linked.
Let's get to last night now.
I live in the state adjacent to a border one. My hometown itself was one of the places which was rained by missiles. My family could hear the blasts, the crackling noise till 2 am. My baby cousin was crying scared. All was dark and the only light was of missiles.
Pakistan attacked civillian cities, alongside the ones with army bases. They did not give a fuck.
I don't know how it isn't clear what the country is trying to do already.
I am just so sick. Hoping no escalation happens. We don't need a war. No one does. But stop painting India in red. Pakistan isn't the victim. They haven't been from a while.
Final words? Asking the common citizens of both countries to stay safe.
operation sindhoor...the transparent throughline between the Indian Hindutvas wanting to maintain control over the state + the family. and having a military press briefing with all women soldiers to pinkwash bombings. transparent. disgusting to see people across gender, class, caste, and sexuality lines supporting this govts actions.
this is what the pakistan terrorist state and their army do. they’ve launched a full scale escalation of war at innocent jammu citizens of india and jawans at the border. cowards and lunatics they all are as well as their supporters.
may mata rani protect everyone from these demons and may indian armed forces have all the strength to fight them.
Absolutely dystopian how they're preparing us for a potential war by organizing mock drills all over the country and the way people are celebrating and clapping hands like it's a fucking cricket match just tells me that the average Indian population has a brain as dense as a blackhole because wdym y'all still don't realise that not everything is solved by war which often leads to unnecessary suffering and death of innocent people who have nothing to do with the neo-fascist political agendas at play.
"There are no other options" Boy do I have news for you.
Pakistan is directly targeting civilians in India.
Fuck Pakistan.
Just heard that India attacked Pakistan and Kashmir? And that they attacked a civilian area, including a mosque which so far has resulted in the death of 3 civilians including a CHILD!?
As if the world hasn't already seen so much civilian death and destruction!?
I know I’m supposed to be studying right now. My end-semester exams are breathing down my neck, and my notes are lying open in front of me, untouched for the past two hours. But how am I expected to focus—how is anyone expected to focus—when the Indian Army just conducted Operation Sindoor?
bro. BRO. THE NAME. “Sindoor.” Not just a military op, but an emotional uppercut to avenge the widows of the Pahalgam attack?? That’s not warfare, that’s poetic justice with a side of ballistic missiles and I’m LIVING FOR IT!!!!!!!
Indian Army: conducts precision strikes on nine terrorist-linked targets in PoK Me: sobbing, saluting, punching the air, knocking over my coffee mug, failing my exams but winning at patriotism.
Pakistan: threatens retaliation Global community: nervous peace noises Me: holding my tricolor and vibrating like a Nokia in 2003
and now I have 3 tabs open:
notes I’m not reading
wikipedia page on Operation Sindoor
my rapidly deteriorating sanity
I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling. A kind of sharp, defiant pride. It’s not bloodlust. It’s not warmongering. It’s the feeling that someone finally said: enough. That justice, or at least something close to it, wasn’t just spoken about in parliamentary debates or editorials—but enacted, precisely, purposefully.
I should be memorising case laws right now. But my thoughts are with a widow somewhere in Pahalgam, who might have woken up today to the name “Operation Sindoor” echoing through the news. I hope it brought her something—solace, recognition, maybe even a sliver of closure. I hope it meant something.
So yes, I will get back to studying. Eventually. But tonight, I needed to feel this. To witness this. To let it shake me a little. To cry a little, maybe. And to remember that sometimes, history happens right outside the margins of your syllabus—and you’re allowed to look up and watch.
I may flunk this semester but at least I’ll flunk it knowing India clapped back with strategic, emotionally devastating precision.
I should be prepping for a mock drill, but the Indian Army said, “Nah, let’s drop missiles instead.”
Wait, was this the real exam?
Hanuman ji be like : bahut hogya aaram Ab hoga kaam
BOLO JAI SHRI RAM
“ ... ॐ हनु हनु हनु हनु हनुमन्त हठीले।
बैरिहिं मारू बज्र की कीले॥
गदा बज्र लै बैरिहिं मारो।
महाराज प्रभु दास उबारो॥ ... ”
Lines which came in my mind after reading this
Hanuman ji, aapki avashyakta hai
Guys please you don't understand that they're innocent people 14 crore as a compensation is so necessary for all the 14 family members he lost what would he do now. Those 14 were his future terrorists now he will need to find new ones and train them and that needs money. 14 crore is so less. Have you looked at the Pakistani economy. I think he'd need more. Let's be supportive guys.
Having said that. It made me really happy to see two women lead the Operation Sindoor since they thought of hindu women (the wives and family members of the deceased in the Pahalgam attack) as weak. And two women, one Hindu and one Muslim, proved to the terrorists that they aren't weak.
Whether they wear sindoor or they wear a burqa, women are not to be mistaken to be weak.
I might be too late to comment on this.
So yes Operation Sindoor was a success. It was a feat.
But the moment some fools in India came to know Col. Sofiya Qureshi was amongst the 2 women who led this, all of them started reducing her to just her religious identity. I even heard someone say "it must be intentional because the terrorists attacked based on religion" what if it's not. What if she was chosen because she could lead it. Not because of some DEI points either.
Let's not promote the same thing we stand against.
