History often reminds us that arrogance, when fueled by misplaced false pride and false denial, leads nations down the paths of self-destruction. Pakistan is a stark example in this regard. For decades, it has allowed terrorism to take root in its soil. It nurtured groups with violent ideologies and used them as instruments of state policy against India. The irony is that the Pakistan declares itself on global platforms like the UN, IMF, World Bank, or SAARC that it is “a victim of terrorism”. It sounds less like truth and more like a thief standing in court claiming ignorance of theft. The world knows Pakistan has harbored, funded, and exported terror for decades. Its victimhood narrative is nothing more than an attempt to escape accountability. Every time these very choices have backfired Pakistan. It left on Pakistan politically isolated, economically tumbled, vulnerable to its own defense, and morally questioned. Please read my blogs on this topic to understand how and why terrorism cannot exist without the support of governments and locals.  Moreover, while the operation Sindoor went on, India exposed that Pakistani military officials were standing together with terrorists for the funerals of the family members of the terrorists and other killed terrorists. That means they don’t just support terrorists, but they are terrorists. Operation Sindoor, India’s latest response to terrorism, is a continuation of this long struggle—a war temporarily paused, not concluded. Operation Sindoor The Recent Pahalgam Attack Unlike earlier times, however, India’s response was swift and precise. Intelligence-based operations neutralized several militant hideouts. Cross-border communication channels buzzed with warnings to Pakistan, and the Indian Army pushed forward under Operation Sindoor—a symbol of resilience and sacrifice painted red by the blood of martyrs. India’s Retaliation and Pakistan’s Losses Every time Pakistan exports terror, it imports instability. India’s operations for justice not only inflict military damage but also erode Pakistan’s already fragile economy. Pakistanis have to divert billions of dollars to just restoring the military facilities. International investors run away from a nation associated with terrorism. The soaring inflation, joblessness, low business activity, and IMF’s bailouts have led to widespread disappointment among ordinary citizens. Yet, despite these losses, Pakistan clings to arrogance. Its leaders deliver fiery speeches that soothe its civilians with joy, untruthfully deny their role in terrorism, and propagate victimhood narratives at global forums. The irony remains: while accusing India of aggression, Pakistan bleeds internally due to the monsters and snakes it created. India’s Measures to Crush Arrogance India has gradually built a multi-layered strategy to counter Pakistan’s hostility: Operation Sindoor paused, not stopped India’s attitude has changed from defensive to offensive. The nation demands justice for every attack, misbehavior and threat. While the war may seem paused under Operation Sindoor, the silence is tactical, not permanent. It was Pakistan who demanded a ceasefire, not India. India knows that half-measures no longer suffice. The final step, when taken, would likely be a decisive dismantling of terror infrastructure across the border and within the country—a move not just to punish perpetrators but to end the cycle of nuclear blackmail once and for all. Hopefully, massive destruction, heavy losses and damages would wake Pakistan up to stop terrorism. However, the entire of India believes that Pakistan will never improve. It will destroy itself, yet it will never understand. Whether through covert missions, precision strikes, full-blown wars, or diplomatic maneuvers that corner Pakistan into irrelevance, India’s intent is becoming clearer: no compromise with terrorism, no tolerance for double standards. Operation Sindoor is paused, not stopped. The history of Pakistan is terrorism Pakistan’s Long Romance with Terrorism, and the hunt down of Osama bin Laden, a mastermind behind the 9/11 terror attack in the USA Pakistan came into existence in 1947 based on religious ideology. Since then, it has become the hub of radical groups. First, during the Afghan-Soviet war and later through its calculated strategy of “bleeding India through a million cuts.” Pakistan’s intelligence wing, the ISI sheltered organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahideen, trained and armed under the patronage of. Their missions were clear: destabilize Kashmir, spread fear in Indian cities, and weaken the democratic fabric of India. Please read my blogs on – The world realized (but doesn’t want to recognized) that Pakistan was not merely incompetent in controlling terrorists; it was complicit. Billions of dollars in aid had flowed into Islamabad for counterterrorism. But the very architect of the deadliest terror attack on American soil lived comfortably under its nose. Two and a half Decades of Terror Attacks The 1990 to 2014 era has seen India pay a heavy price for Pakistan’s reckless policies. Each attack deepened scars but also hardened India’s resolve. Surgical strikes, the Balakot airstrike, and a more assertive counterterrorism doctrine showed that the patience of the past no longer bound India. Conclusion “Operation Sindoor” is not merely a military campaign; it reflects India’s patience, pain, and persistence. The war against terrorism is not just about defending borders—but it is about protecting the idea of India itself, where democracy, pluralism, and peace take precedence over hate. For Pakistan, the pause in battle is an opportunity—an invitation to introspect and abandon its obsession with hostility. But history suggests that arrogance rarely allows wisdom to bloom. If Pakistan continues down the same road, India’s final step may not just pause the war—it may end it in a manner that rewrites South Asia’s, especially Pakistan’s destiny.
