Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
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.
