We Were Supposed To Be Mourning Our 1D Boys In Our 80s. Not Now. I’m Speechless.

Operation Sindoor wasn’t about violence, it was about sending a clear message. No civilian area or military base was harmed. The Indian Army zeroed in on those launch pads responsible for planning attacks like the one in Pahalgam. The missile strikes were so precise that only the terrorists felt the impact, with no collateral damage whatsoever. The Indian Army released photos and videos with one simple statement: 'We targeted only those who were waging war against innocent lives.'

Despite that, there are still voices saying 'war is wrong' and 'innocents are dying'. But what were the 26 lives lost in Pahalgam? Were they out on a holiday? I get it — war isn’t the ideal solution, but neither is constant restraint. When a nation endures repeated attacks and finally strikes back, that’s not violence, it’s a matter of self-respect. Peace comes when both sides are willing to show humanity. But if one side has already abandoned its humanity, then the only response left is action. If you think retaliating against Pakistan in their own language is wrong, then maybe you’re not seeing the bigger picture.

I just can't stand people who live in India, enjoy everything it offers, and then turn around defending Pakistan. If you can't stand by your own country, then don't take its benefits. Go live where your heart lies. Support the country you're in, or go to the one you choose to support. Don't eat from one plate and spit in it.

I don't mean to constantly compare June/Nick/Luke to Katniss/Peeta/Gale but oh... the similarities...

if you think civilians near both sides of the border won't be caught in the crossfire should it escalate you have reached a level of denial I did not think was possible

PAKISTAN IS A TERRORIST STATE. PERIOD.

omg I just remembered that to love another person is to see the face of god

Look at the hypocrisy India did not purposefully target civilians and all the intellectuals on tumblr were hating on India. Here Pakistan is clearly going after civilians and you all are silent on this? Fucking Hypocrites

And also what I find hilarious is Terrorists coming in to Indian borders, attacking tourists, fucking civilian tourists (Hindus), telling them to recite Kalma or whatever that is to prove they’re Muslim, checking their Penis to see if they’re circumsised, and then killing 27 people. India attacking the same terrorist camps is such a problem? Go die 💀

I see a lot of Islamophobic as well as Hinduphobic rhetoric going around, especially due to the Indo-Pak conflict. And most people are seeming to believe whatever the see on random tumblr accounts which aren't even from here and has no touch with reality?? What the hell

The tumblr demographic is mostly teens and young adults with impressionable minds. These kind of things have a cumulative effect and give rise to hatred.

As someone who has literally witnessed/still witnessing the polarization of communities and increase in communal violence, here are my two cents on it:

1. Talk to Indian Muslims who are common citizens in the country - those who are students, those who have a daily job, those who lead a generic life. There are around 200 million Muslims living in India. Ask how their experience is, if they feel "unsafe" here. Ask if they are friends with people of other faith. Ask how they feel about India. Mostly the people who bark on the internet are people who have an agenda, and you get that pov.

2. The nomenclature of operation 'Sindoor' - Sindoor is traditionally viewed as a symbol for married women in Hinduism, many women are choosing to not wear it quoting it a patriarchal symbol. Nonetheless, at Pahalgam Hindu men were targeted and their wives were told to narrate it to others. The attack itself was religious in nature and hence is the name of retaliatory operation. (Those saying one Muslim man was also killed, yes because the terrorists also asked the people who were Muslim to recite Kalma, and killed who could not)

3. Genocide against muslims? The operation is being led by a Muslim woman Col Sofia Qureshi. Indian Muslims are in support of the retaliatory attack. This is a conflict targeting documented terror bases of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, not a specific demographic. The list was later released and now available on the internet. Also, Pak spends majority of their budget on defence and has nukes, they are in no way same as Palestine.

4. Targeting civilians - It's unfortunate that women and children died as a collateral damage on targeting the sites. It's an age old tactic that terrorists use-blend in with the civilians and use them as human shields. The civilians killed were neighbors and family members of the targeted terrorists as of the information available now.

However, the retaliatory attack from Pakistan was indiscriminate bombing into civilian localities, not military facilities. Yesterday, more than 15 cities were targeted with drones. Shelling in Poonch has killed at least 13 civilians and injured many.

War serves no one but how is this alright? People spewing bullshit sitting at their homes, pushing their narratives without half an idea of what's really going on? You are disgracing the genocide on Palestinians by comparing this with that. Both are totally different situations caused due to different reasons. If you don't have proper knowledge about a situation then don't spread misinformation about it. Pray for our safety.
