So this tweet regarding the Global Buddhist Summit being conducted by India landed up on my TL some time back and triggered a chain of thoughts that I shall attempt to share here.
Let’s see how it goes ..
800 Buddhist monks from 40 countries to be a part of Global Buddhist Summit in Delhi on 24 and 25 January. At the time when world is seeing conflicts, India calls for peace through the teachings of Buddha. India Today's Shivani Sharma speaks #exclusively with DG International… pic.twitter.com/CWPzcdrHtx
Note : Before moving ahead, do go thru the video on the tweet above, even if in form of snippets.
I’ll begin with a disclaimer : This blog post is NOT about religion or evangelism, if at all. Instead, I intend talking a bit about our Buddhist heritage and how it has great potential in deepening ties with the near and far neighbourhood.
First & foremost, as expected, I searched for & quickly found a hashtag about the upcoming Global Buddhist Summit that seems to have been created by some good folks: #GlobalBuddhistSummit . The event is apparently being organised by International Buddhist Confederation, New Delhi.
The existence of the International Buddhist Confederation itself was a revelation for me! That such an organisation exists in the country speaks volumes about those who realized the importance of this heritage and the need to preserve and share it.
The motto of the @IbcWorldOrg itself give away the intent : ‘Collective Wisdom, United Voice’.
THIS is what holds a huge potential for the near and even far neighbourhood.
The common heritage of Buddhism directly links India with almost all its direct neighbours less East and West Pakistan. Nepal : Birth Place of Lord Buddha Bhutan : Buddhist Majority Country Myanmar : Buddhist Majority Country that is also credited with saving the practice of Vipassana in its true form as taught by Lord Buddha Himself. Sh. Goenka Ji discovered it while doing business in Myanmar and brought it back to India.Sri Lanka : Yet another Buddhist Majority Country. Tibet : The Birthplace of the current Dalai Lama, as also thought to be the custodian of a large number of priceless Buddhist manuscripts.
Then there is Japan from where a steady stream of visitors keep landing in Bodh Gaya for pilgrimage, many of whom then settle there in matrimonial bliss with Indian spouses. This is what Google tells me 👇
However, the first Global Buddhist Summit only happened in 2023. We were perhaps a bit late in realizing this common heritage. But as they say: Better Late Than Never! I’d say that we have been in an overdrive since then, ‘spreading the word’ & getting like-minded folks together!
The first inkling of the sheer GOLD that India has in terms of Buddhist heritage was the reception in Thailand of the sacred relics that were sent there by us. IIRC, it was the IAF that flew the relics to Thailand and back.
The relics subsequently travelled to Russia and Bhutan as well in 2025. In fact Prime Minister Modi himself was there in Bhutan when the relics were on display there for the faithful. Talk about Diplomacy with common heritage links!
The case of Russia is even more interesting, though. Who knew that a region in Russia would be a Buddhist majority region .. and that too in the EUROPEAN part of Russia. So technically, the relics also travelled to Europe last year!
On that note, do watch the video in the tweet below for the reception accorded to the holy relics in Kalmykia by the locals.
Buddha relics from India reaches Russia's Kalmykia, a Buddhist Majority region. Video released by the authorities in Kalmykia: pic.twitter.com/xdOtkZ0Urv
Bottomline : This common Buddhist heritage has a lot of potential to thicken the already existing bonds of friendship and cultural imprints throughout the Indian Subcontinent and even farther away.
IMO though, the acme of this shall, however, lie in not only deeper cultural linkages but also in deeper economic linkages.
Remember, it was an Indian businessman in Burma – Sh Goenka Ji – who brought back Vipassana to India after millennia. What is to say that the current ambassadors of the Buddhist heritage won’t find a way into translating this forum of Global Buddhist Summit into business partnerships as well? Especially if a gentle nudge or two is given by the GOI as well?
In any case, as mentioned in the interview in the beginning of this blog post, delegates for this Global Buddhist Summit include not only religious scholars but academics as well. Here’s to hoping that subsequent iterations will also see businessmen as well!
And as always, when it comes to the question of Buddhism, there is always the China factor as well. Especially wrt the reincarnation of the next Dalai Lama, whenever that happens. In fact here is what I wrote about that 14 years ago!
Ah, the irony. A self proclaimed atheist nation wants to control whre the next Dalai Lama is reincarnated! #FreeTibet
And true to their form, China didn’t disappoint either! This is what they did after the First Global Buddhist Summit was held in India.
Come to think of it, we weren’t the only ones who were late in recognizing the potential of the Buddhist legacy! And the Chinese just copied us!
This time round, thought, they have been a bit smarter .. they did theirs a week before the Indian event!
As I conclude this chain of thoughts, all I’ll say is that the upcoming Global Buddhist Summit might just be a much larger event in terms of eventual impact than what we think currently. This is exactly what triggered this thread after I first came across the report regarding it.
It is as much about sharing the common heritage of Lord Buddha as it is about deepening existing bonds throughout the near and far neighbourhood. And I hope this includes economic bonds as well because in addition to religion, nothing else binds more strongly than money!
True impact of events such as the Global Buddhist Summit can only be seen with the benefit of hindsight, perhaps a few years or even decades after the event. One can only hope and pray that we steer this in the right direction for common good of all.
For Europe and USA, Buddhism is truly one the most ‘popular’ religions that have originated in India, thanks in large part to the charisma of His Holiness The Dalai Lama. In fact, Richard Gere even got banned from travelling to China for talking about Tibet!
However, the question of Tibet is not triggered this thought. That will be decided in due course, probably whenever the Dalai Lama reincarnates next. That said, this unrelated event by Buddhist monks in USA is also worth following 👇
In these difficult times, a group of Buddhist monks are planting hope across America as they make a months-long march to Washington, DC hoping to inspire people to give peace a chance. pic.twitter.com/Mh8jdmOJrE
With this I conclude this chain of thoughts. I hope the Global Buddhist Summit becomes a regular event, either annually or bi-annually & that dividends shall include peace and harmony for all concerned. On that note, I’ll leave this post here as well, to tickle your brains!
Folks, sharing some thoughts on the recent developments in Bangladesh in the aftermath of killing of Osman Hadi. Let’s see how it goes. At the outset, I’ll share this tweet from almost exactly 1yr ago. Things happening almost exactly as mentioned
One way to avoid that would be to trigger an incident or a chain of events that would divert public attention, right? It could vary from an internal disturbance within Bangladesh to even threats / attacks on Indian diplomatic missions in Dhaka and elsewhere. (^^ Disclaimer: JMTs)
Moving ahead, let me introduce Osman Hadi to those who do not know him. Here he is, yapping about Indian hegemony. Do watch.
Mind you, this is not about celebrating his death. But instead, this is to highlight the idiotic and utopian idea of Bangladesh being equal to India that he harboured .. something that is still being chanted by yahoos on the streets.
That said, I would take you back to the tweet quoted in the beginning of this blog post. Hadi’s death is merely a trigger. Even if it had been someone else in his place, there would still have been outrage and violence on streets of East Pakistan, regardless of the trigger event.
If you noticed me mentioning ‘East Pakistan’ instead of Bangladesh, kudos to you! Let me explain why I refer to the current day neighbour as East Pakistan. But that would need for us to go back to the breaking apart of erstwhile Eastern Wing of Pakistan in 1971.
Trigger for breakaway of East Pakistan in 1971 was incompatibility of Bengali identity of East Pakistan with the dominant Punjabi identity of West Pakistan. If you think current day Paakis are any less racist towards Bengalis, then you might be ‘pleasantly’ surprised with this 👇
That East Pakistan was NOT compatible with their Western masters was quite apparent as early as 1952 when the Language Riots broke out over imposition of Urdu upon East Pakistan. 21 Feb is still observed as Language Movement Day / Martyrs Day in Bangladesh : Bengali Language Movement
Then came the Bhola Cyclone of 1970 that killed nearly 500,000 East Pakistanis. To add insult to injury, the Central Govt in West Pakistan just brushed it aside and only offered token relief efforts in the days immediately succeeding it. Why? Because .. well .. Bengalis. Period.
And then when the first and only truly free and fair elections happened in December 1970, Yahya Khan and Bhutto refused to honour the verdict that would have meant a Bengali Prime Minister for Pakistan, ie Mujibur Rehman. Heck, Bhutto even called them ‘Suar ke Bachche’ in a public rally in East Pakistan and cursed them to go to Jahannum! Of course, he himself would soon reach there .. perhaps to prepare a welcome speech for them maybe?
Then came the events of 1971, commencing with Operation Searchlight wherein the Pakistan Army directly got involved in rape, genocide and targeted killings of Hindus in particular and Bengalis in general : Operation Searchlight
They raped, they killed and they burnt. Just being a Bengali was enough of a crime, regardless of religion. Being a Hindu only added to the gravity of the crime. Yes, those were their fellow citizens from the Eastern Wing.
A short documentary on the women that were raped and a memorial in Mujib Nagar to etch the atrocities suffered by the daughters, mothers and sisters of East Pakistan at the hands of their fellow citizens from West Pakistan Army was produced immediately after India created Bangladesh.
Throughout this orgy of rape and murder, the Jamaat ‘e Islami Pakistan was at the forefront with their brothers in West Pakistani Army. They fought tooth and nail to oppose the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, only to fail.
And then, in 1979, the Bangladeshi Govt of their military dictator Zia ur Rehman, Jamaat ‘e Islami was permitted to establish itself once again in the same country that it had fought tooth and nail to oppose the creation of!
What was happening was abundantly clear, esp with the benefit of hindsight as well as events in current day East Pakistan. The Bengali identity was slowly and surely subsumed by the religious identity on the basis of which India was partitioned in 1947.
In fact, Jamaat ‘e Islami was a part of the govt of Begum Khaleda Zia in 2001. Such was the turnaround, partly due to political expediency and partly also due to the growing radicalisation under the radar.
It is the same Jamaat ‘e Islami that was working furiously behind the scenes during the Aug 2024 ‘revolution’ & is working furiously today in forefront of the latest ‘revolution’. Needless to say ISIS flags too have become part & parcel of this latest iteration of ‘revolution’.
And what is the currently popular opinion in today’s East Pakistan? Well, they are blaming Sheikh Hasina. Yes, more than 15 months after her ouster, the current NON-ELECTED govt of East Pakistan blames Awami League and Sheikh Hasina for their failure to ensure peace!
This only reinforces my belief that seeds of ‘revolution’ are mostly bitter! Once the dust settles, u realize that while breaking apart a system was very easy, building it again actually takes a LOT of hard work .. something that you may not be capable of!
Doing a 'revolution' is relatively easy. What is NOT so easy is to resume nation-building as the 'excitement' wanes & time to put words into actions begins. Coming weeks and months for #Bangladesh are going to be extremely interesting to watch. Shall revisit this tweet in a year! https://t.co/wvHBSR32rv
Dear Leader of current day East Pakistan, Nobel Laureate Yunus, who incidentally calls himself as the Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, has proved his incompetence to govern with a bang .. literally! Of course, he never had the mandate to govern in the first place.
That is also why I feel that the supposed elections in East Pakistan that were to happen ‘very soon’, will not be happening at all .. atleast not in the near future. Power without accountability is the best. Yunus today .. perhaps a Military Dictator tomorrow?
Which of these will have their elections first :#JustAsking
Which brings me to the question of what happens next. Well, in a nutshell, a LOT depends upon how Govt of India decides to act. On that note, I agree with the yahoos of East Pakistan that it is a civilizational war. They have already chosen religion over their Bengali identity.
Now what remains to be seen is the response of the GOI. Don’t get me wrong .. I know there are a LOT of other interested actors fuelling the fire in East Pakistan today. But the end aim for most of them is to have Indian attentions and resources diverted there, even if partly.
As @TrulyMonica mentioned in her tweet screenshotted above, the masks are well and truly off. Debating the reason for their animosity at this point in our history is moot. What needs to be seen is what do we do (or don’t do, for that matter).
So far, by NOT doing much since the Aug 2024 ‘revolution’, GOI has ended up giving enough rope to current rulers of East Pakistan to hang themselves, figuratively of course. And then there is the dead body of the radical Osman Hadi buried six feet under with full State protocol.
Btw, THIS is how they treated the mortal remains of their own soldiers not so long ago. Make of it whatever you will.
Bottomline is that East Pakistan has once again reared its ugly head on our eastern borders. The only consolation is that they don’t have nukes, thanks to 1971. But they do dream of a nuke umbrella from their West Paaki brethren! This is a retired Colonel of Bangladesh Army giving words to his wet dreams!
Of course, they are permitted to have their delusions. But Indian Visa is something that they will surely and sorely miss, thanks to the violence directed at Indian diplomatic missions. Just like last year, right after the ‘revolution’!
Meanwhile, the yahoos are now begging for Indian Visas! With this, I conclude this short thread. Hope this chain of thoughts made some sense. :Fin:https://t.co/TT94pJz8rr
Whether they like it or not, survival of East Pakistan without India is virtually impossible, thanks to the curse of geography. They still owe more than a billion dollars to Adani for the electricity, for one. Not to mention the tonnes of other imports from India.
The only thing somewhat in favour of East Pakistan is their relatively large army that is still capable of restoring peace if push comes to a shove. And this is a military that has directly ruled East Pakistan after killing the Father of the Nation, Mujibur Rehman in 1975 itself.
But would they have the stomach for it? Or for that matter the UNITY within their ranks for it? What are the odds that the current generation of Brigadiers & Generals of Bangladesh Army MIGHT get inspired by the relatively recent Border Guard revolt of 2009 & join the other side?
Remember, they are already acting very coy with their West Pakistani brethren ever since the Aug 2024 ‘revolution’. Might it be because some of them actually see them as their fathers? Especially those born in 1971-72?
What happens internally in East Pakistan now depends upon how the military acts, or chooses to look the other way. Yunus has unleashed a monster that he won’t be able to control for much longer, especially when IMO he doesn’t hold much power beyond being a figurehead ‘advisor’.
He will, in all probability, be the sacrificial pawn as a new regime assumes power in Dhaka within the next few months, perhaps even earlier. And then the cycle of rhetoric and reality check and chaos will be unleashed all over again.
What happens next? Well, for one, let this be YET ANOTHER lesson for the ‘liberals’, esp those within India. Do go thru the three tweets quoted below, about how the sheep kept rooting for the wolf because he promised he had changed.
1/3 On the first anniversary of the 'Revolution' in Bangladesh, replugging some media tweeted in the immediate aftermath. Sheep cheering for the Wolves that had promised to keep their interests safe 👇https://t.co/DfMiU1bKUZ
As far as India goes, the biggest concern currently should be yet another refugee influx in case situation in East Pakistan deteriorates further. Impact of such a chaos on the looming elections in West Bengal and Assam too cannot be emphasized enough.
But then, it was a similar refugee crisis that gave the pretext and justification for hacking off East Pakistan in the first place. Thus, herein lies an opportunity as well. Of course, the potential for exponential increase in chaos exists too.
But if the chaos can be contained within the current borders of East Pakistan, then I personally wouldn’t mind it very much. This was tweeted just hours after the initial reports of ‘revolution’ / ‘coup’ in Bangladesh last year 👇
In view of folks talking about a potential refugee crisis from Bangladesh border, I'll just replug this tweet here without any further comment. Take care of the refugees, but on their own lands. Period. https://t.co/xey66G1hYx
Once again, with the benefit of hindsight, one can say that one mistake that we committed in 1971 was in not retaining some territory from East Pakistan in order to overcome own geographical vulnerabilities. Perhaps destiny is giving us another chance?
At this point, I would like to reiterate the phrase 'Pig's Neck' that was tweeted not too long ago!https://t.co/bvkuuK4kjD
No wonder the yahoos in East Pakistan feel that it was they who defeated West Pakistan in 1971 and India unfairly took all credit and the 93,000 Brown Panted Ones. No wonder they think that they also can choke off India’s North-East with ease and capture Kolkata as well!
Btw, it is the same East Pakistan which covers broken railway tracks with jute bags and hopes for the best! More power to them, I’d say!
Coming back to the issue at hand, India has been far too benevolent a neighbour to such people for far too long. I have a hunch that this might be about to change soon. Whether the first manifestation comes across East Pakistan or West, needs to be seen.
Might this chaos be a trigger for a change of heart amongst them? Or might it be a trigger for a 'benevolent strictness' on part of India? भय बिन होए न प्रीत, right? I wrote this about 10 years ago in context of Pakistan. It just underscores my point abovehttps://t.co/BrBdBzQUw2
Committing Indian military along East Pakistan might give a breather to the Brown Panted Ones to the West, as also an opportunity to one again try and import some more Brahmos and other munitions from India free of cost.
Reeling as they are under grossly ‘unpredictable’ water inflows in Jhelum and Chenab, they might just try something under the (yet again) mistaken assumption that India will be restrained due to events in East Pakistan.
And what about East Pakistan, you asked? Well they are still just as expendable for West Pakistan and their friends in the USA as they were in 1965 and 1971 Wars. So long as West Pakistan lives, anything good or bad happening to East Pakistan is fine.
In any case, East Pakistanis are very confident that India will soon come begging to them because without their money, India cannot survive! Of course all those lines of credit that GOI has extended to East Pakistan be damned! This is NOT a joke, mind you!
The video features DUCSU leader Musaddiq speaking in Bengali. Translation: "If the flow of money from Bangladesh to India stops, Indians will starve to death." This matches reports from multiple sources like X posts and YouTube.
All said and done, I don’t see any easy way out of this mess for India. Sooner or later, we WILL see blood spilled – In our lands and beyond. Thankfully, Operation Sindoor saw mostly only Pakistani blood spilled, but don’t let that fool you. The next round will be far bloodier.
Sooner or later, we will be left with no option but to bite the bullet. I say this as a lay person with access to only open source info. The Govt has access to not only far greater information but also far greater resources. I shall wait to see what they do, or don’t do.
But when the dust settles, I would not only want to see atleast ‘some’ land getting added to the Union of India, but also atleast the East Pakistani Army cut down to a size of not more than 30,000.
Let us see the motto of the Bangladesh Army to see what they want to use those 1,60,000 troops for. The motto says: In War, In Peace, We are everywhere for our Nation.
A very impressive motto, I must say. Kudos to whoever came up with it!
So blinded are they in their hatred for imagined Indian hegemony that they even forget the brutal rapes that their ‘found-again’ best friends inflicted upon their mothers & grandmothers We all know what happens to those who forget their own history, right?
Talking about history, I wrote this just a few days after the Aug 2024 ‘revolution’ in East Pakistan. Slow and steady turn the wheels of history. The lands of Mahishasur Mardini Mata demand more blood. That is the only way to cleanse this scourge, I’d say.
I will start by saying that If you STILL cannot hear the drums of war, you must be deaf indeed! The wheels of history seem to be moving with increasing urgency lately, getting greased with more and more blood. Sad, as it may be, it is just history repeating itself.
Osman Hadi was just an excuse. I don’t care who killed him. For all we know, it was West Pakistan that got him killed just to sow chaos along India’s Eastern Borders. Or just a jealous girlfriend. And if it was Indian agencies, well, Boo .. Fucking .. Hoo to the bleeding hearts.
But regardless, fact remains that India continues to be a benevolent giant next door to most of its neighbours. It is in East Pakistan’s favour that things go back to as they were. Else, they might just unleash a genie that will eat them up and not even burp.
As far as West Pakistan goes, well, they have already had a taste of things throughout their history right from 27 Oct 1947 all the way till May 2025. THAT is the reason why they are now looking to sacrifice East Pakistan all over again, just so that their part of Punjab is safe.
I don’t foresee Yunus in power beyond March 2026. In any case, there will be no elections in East Pakistan in the foreseeable future. So whosoever comes to power next will do so either at the point of a gun or thru street power or both. This will NOT end well for the country.
All I can say in the end is that history has indeed come a full circle for East and West Pakistan. But remember, it ended with a massive orgy or rapes and killings in East Pakistan and utter humiliation for West Pakistan. Dare I say, it is headed much the same way all over again.
I will close this thread with my favourite phrase : ‘Brace Yourselves, Folks!’ The coming weeks & months won’t be easy. Remember, Sagar Manthan threw up ‘Vish’ before ‘Amrit’ came by. These days too are days of immense ‘Manthan’ the world over. Let’s wait and watch how they go!!
In the end, I will just add the past few Blogs on East Pakistan that I wrote since Aug 2024.
(This chain of thoughts was first shared on Twitter on 14 Dec 2025)
Finally watched the movie late last night. Sharing some thoughts on it. At the outset, a hearty ‘Well Done’ to @AdityaDharFilms, @AdityaRajKaul, @RanveerOfficial, @ActorMadhavan, @yamigautam and all others associated with the film. It is indeed a MUST WATCH.
Before anything else, I’ll share this recording from 26/11 Terror Attack which was uploaded to Youtube by @shiv_cybersurg. If u think the Red Screen in #Dhurandhar was shocking, you are sadly mistaken.
At 4:00, Woman: “Pl don’t kill me” Then AK-47 shots 👇
And if you think the scenes of ecstasy in the ‘Control Room’ in Karachi as shown in the movie were exaggerated, then there is a white coloured building in Agra that I am willing to sell to you at a massive discount.
Coming on to the movie as such, it was indeed a treat to watch and that too with the Missus and both kids. Then entire hall was engrossed in the movie. The best part, bulk of the crowd was from a generation that would have been kids at the time of Kandahar Hijack and 26/11.
That it had an impact on them was quite apparent during the intermission and at the end of the movie. The conversations amongst the movie goers were almost like whispers and the tone suggested that they were shocked at what they had seen.
Yes, SHOCKED. Why I say so, you asked? Well, because for one, they have never been told about Pakistan in its true colours. As told to most of them, Pakistan is just another country with some misguided terrorists who keep on attacking India. And of course, a large number of sincere & good-hearted ISI personnel who are working tirelessly to prevent those terrorists from harming us! Well, isn’t that what most of the Bollywood ‘Spy-Thrillers’ of the past few decades have been showing: Good Pakistanis fighting with Good Indians against Bad Indians?
Of course, none of them would dare to show this part of the actual Pakistan to us hoi-polloi. Because that would go against their ethos .. of sleeping with the enemy. Because .. maybe .. they want to CONTROL what we think of Pakistan perhaps?
Here is a Paaki comedy show where the word 'Hindu Kutta' not only comes out matter of factly but also elicits a wholehearted laughter from the audience. Once again, DO WATCH this 15 second video before moving ahead pic.twitter.com/lx8nEOnxIz
No wonder some of them are so upset at not just the fact that #Dhurandhar is doing very well in theatres, but the very fact that someone DARED to make such a movie in the first place! Thankfully, their opinions only matter in their own echo-chambers and not in the real world!
They are quick to critique. And they are equally quick to run away when their own critiques get critiqued! You see, they are only willing to criticize, because well .. it is their job! But when they start receiving honest feedbacks, they hide their critiques and run away!
And then they bring out the highly important sounding ‘Guilds’ to sermonize! What is left unsaid is the fact that these ‘VERY IMPORTANT’ Guilds are, in fact, they themselves!
BREAKING: Critics Guild Headed By Critic Anupama Chopra Condemns Criticism Of Anupama Chopra In Response To Her Criticism Of Dhurandhar
What is also left unsaid is the fact that they belong to an ecosystem which seeks not just money but also love from Pakistan. Yes, the same Pakistan that would gladly call them Kaafirs, take their money and not blink an eye before taking their very lives.
A Ghulam Ali, talented as he might be, making money off you and me, will pump most of it in Pakistani economy, ultimately putting it to use to kill my countrymen. Of course, he will keep calling you and me Kafirs and yet, lust after our money.https://t.co/gDBbpDKOXMpic.twitter.com/MjmUBuH5tR
But then, so blinded are some people that they are willing to even stake their very reputations on something as absurd and as idiotic as ‘Human Rights for Terrorists’
Of course, they being ‘blind to the obvious’ is a very charitable explanation, because I do get the feeling that atleast a few of them are in fact, actually rooting for the other side even as they live and thrive within our borders.
Before moving ahead, I will also leave this tweet here. Make of it whatever you will.
Coming back to the movie as such. Much of what Aditya Dhar has shown in the film is actually open source knowledge, provided you were actually open to seeking it. This includes the Kandahar Hijack, the FICN racket including the dyes and paper for Indian currency notes and even 26/11. What has been shown in the movie is Pakistan in all its ‘glory’ wherein even sworn enemies unite when it comes to harm India. There is no fiction in it, mind you. TTP had promised to halt ops against Pak Army and fight WITH them in case of a war against India.
Still don’t believe me? Well, let me offer you a photo of a former Chief of ISI sitting at the feet of Hafiz Saeed, head of Lashkar ‘e Taiba at a rally called for ‘Difa e Pakistan’, i.e. Defence of Pakistan. Yes, terrorists are just Paaki soldiers in mufti.
Refer a couple of tweets above. Here's the same Hamid Gul, who used to be the top man of the ISI of Terroristan, sharing the stage with 'world famous' terror leaders, including Hafiz Saeed of the Lashkar 'e Taiba that executed the 26/11 Mumbai Attacks pic.twitter.com/pwDZP7xL89
This is the part of the thread where I once again offer kudos to the #Dhurandhar team, including @AdityaRajKaul, for the brilliant research done by them. I would specifically mention the getup of the ISI guy played by @rampalarjun who is unmistakably modelled after Ilyas Kashmiri.
For those who don’t know who Ilyas Kashmiri was, here is his wikipedia page : Ilyas Kashmiri Wikipedia. Do browse this a bit before moving ahead.
In case you missed it above, he was personally felicitated and rewarded by Musharraf for bringing the severed head of an Indian soldier as a gift for him. What is to be noted is not the mutilation, but the fact that he had access to Musharraf himself.
6 Btw, it was the same Musharraf who had PUBLICLY felicitated terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri for bringing the head of an Indian Army soldier from the LoC not very long ago. It was the same Musharraf who has been repeatedly humiliated by the Indian Armyhttps://t.co/h8qFJrF2VA
Coming back to 26/11, only an idiot would refuse to see that it was done by the govt of Pakistan. High-ranking Pakistanis themselves have acknowledged this. But some bleeding heart bastards here still cry at the ‘unfair’ depiction of Pakistan in the film!
Former caretaker CM of Paaki Punjab unabashedly saying that the Paaki Security Establishment did 26/11. Plus the remarks on nuke strike at 2:00. Don't Miss.#MumbaiTerrorAttackpic.twitter.com/lJx1Xl0eTK
The gore and violence depicted in the movie has very rightfully earned it an ‘A’ Certificate from the CBFC, but then, I doubt it would have come as a surprise to the makers. Dare I say, the violence depicted in the movie was actually necessary, thanks to its very theme.
However, what is amusing to note is that it caused atleast one adult-age actress to feel so threatened that she is now scared to have babies in this country. Well, it is purely her choice, I’d say, just like the kind of movies she chooses to do. However, I would definitely say this 👇 to her & to all others who are HORRIFIED by the violence depicted in the movie. My message to them is fairly summed up in the tweet quoted below. Violence is as old as human history, whether or not you like it. Period.
Fact is that we need MANY MORE such movies – Movies that don’t shy away from showing reality without need to sugarcoat it in any way, or add typical commercial ‘formula’ of song and dance. The audience is changing. Film-makers who refuse to see that will soon become irrelevant.
What I wrote above is not merely an opinion. It is, in fact, borne by the fact that people are actually spending money to watch #Dhurandhar. So much so that almost all shows are running houseful. I myself was lucky to get tickets yesterday!
BTW, if you noticed in the screenshot above, two of the three highest grossing films of the year 2025 are those that gave immense pain to a LOT of folks of that subscribe to a particular way of thinking. It only goes on to show their growing irrelevance in the larger scheme of things.
This is what I wrote after watching #Chhaava, btw. #Chhaava and #Dhurandhar remain the only two films that I have watched in a theatre this year.
Do read the blog post linked in the paragraph above about how Bollywood has been a tool for influencing minds & thoughts. There is nothing wrong in it, mind you. But for far too long, far too much content was influencing minds & thoughts in a wrong direction.
Main Hoon Na Badal Chakravhuya Dhokha Khakee Kurbaan New York My Name is Khan Parzania Firaq Diljale
As far as those who are aghast at negative portrayal of Pakistan in #Dhurandhar go, I am yet to see them provide any specific instances of what is wrongly depicted about Pakistan.
For them I have a simple advice:
Step 1 : Take a Deep Breath Step 2: Now hold it for 2611 seconds!
As I wrap up this chain of thoughts, I will paraphrase a dialogue that the character of Mr Sanyal as played by @actormadhavan says in the movie: “The beauty about time is that it changes”
THAT hits the nail on the head, IMO. Time is cyclic. So is the cycle of Karma.
Here I will talk about Javed Khanani and the really authentic-looking FICN printing that went on in Pakistan, apparently with help from many of our own. Firstly, once again, the actor playing Javed Khanani bore as much resemblance to the actual bastard as was possible.
Unsurprisingly, he ‘committed suicide’ less than a month after India announced Demonetisation! Very convenient, no?
Fact is that even though Demonetisation was a bitter pill, it still had to be taken by us all because there was no other way to STOP the high-quality FICN printing presses of Pakistan. Here’s a report from India Today : Pakistan officially printing fake Indian currency notes. Last para just about sums it all up.
Here’s one more report about FICN ops by Pakistan. The bastards were even using Diplomatic channels to smuggle FICN into India. Just like they smuggled weapons on board the IC-814 in Kathmandu, btw. Google it if not aware.
Manufacturing fake Indian currency – yet another major industry of Pakistanhttp://t.co/cnVxgN64
Here is one more resource on the impact of Demonetisation. The ‘suicide’ by Khanani was just a small part of the actual impact on Pakistan terror machinery in particular, and their worthless economy in general. Do watch this video in the tweet below if you have time!
As I conclude this chain of thoughts, all I will say, even if at the cost of repetition, is that there are a thousand such stories that remain untold due to various factors. These are the very history of our Nation & deserve to be told so that we don’t suffer over and over again.
Here is a short thread I had written on the topic some months ago. Must go thru it. It is quite doable. And I am glad to note that it is already happening in some respects, both by the film industry as well as by the NCERT. Need to be unabashed in doing so.
:Thread: This tweet below had landed up on my TL some months ago. So here's a thread on the need to tell the stories of our heroes to our kids as part of their school curriculum. This is a thought that has been on my mind for a while now. Jotted some random thoughts. Here goes .. https://t.co/2P8kkpzvfL
As far as the bleeding-heart liberals and their really genuine tears about the well-being of Pakistan goes, all I will say is ‘Cry some more!’. Especially since atleast one of the perpetrators of today’s terror attack in Australia seems to be a Pakistani : Link
(Disclaimer: Apparently, he was not a Pakistani. Instead he was an Indian from Australia whose son (i.e. the other attacker) had his driver’s license photo taken wearing the jersey of Pakistan Cricket Team)
In the end, I will just leave a couple of tweets on the issue of #Dhurandhar that deserve to be seen far and wide. This one echoes my sentiments perfectly. Now they cry as they are aggressively sidelined.
Much as we have ignored it for too long, the Mughal‑e‑Azam fantasy is embedded deep within a section of our society, thanks to Bollywood’s slow braise of adaab, tehzeeb, qawwalis, nazakat, poetry, and wispy shararas that it even continued seamlessly into Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s…
This one about how #Dhurandhar is actually being celebrated .. not just for the fact that it is an excellent and watchable movie, but also for the fact that it has caused severe heartburns in many columns.
You know what’s the most fascinating thing about Dhurandhar? Log isse movie ki tarah nahi dekh rahe… challenge ki tarah dekh rahe hain. Defiance mein jaa rahe hain. Ekdum prove-a-point attitude ke saath….. 🤷♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷♀️ Aisa lag raha hai ki audience bol rahi…
Heck, even as some on our own side are crying about the true depiction of Pakistan in #Dhurandhar, Pakistanis themselves are thrilled at seeing their shithole of a country being the setting for an Indian film!
I will also add this thread here that talks about films and influence operations.
Some thoughts on Cinema & The shaping of minds Cinema is one of the most powerful methods of communication. Correct storytelling is a subtle to obvious method of creating narratives. Cinema is also a great soft power projection tool.
In the end, all I’ll say is that #Dhurandhar is a really really well made movie and a MUST WATCH, especially for the younger generation. I look fwd to the next part. Hoping to see Khanani get ‘suicided’ in that one! And I will leave thistweet here!
(This chain of thoughts was first shared on Twitter on 23rd October 2025.)
Btw, yesterday marked six months since the #PahalgamTerrorAttack. The world in general and the Indian neighbourhood in particular, has seen drastic changes since then. Yet, one thing remains constant – The terror factory nurtured by the Brown Panted Ones of Pakistan.
It is a fair assumption that the tight slaps administered during Op Sindoor have caused much discomfort to the Brown Panted Ones. Their intense sucking up to the Americans and the Defence Pact with Saudi Arabia is to be seen in this light.
That India would react militarily to Pahalgam would have been rightly assumed by Pakistani security establishment. Dare I say, they might even have been counting on it, because nothing unites that country like the ‘greatest’ enemy – India.
Of course, as always, what those idiots hadn’t counted upon was the sheer ferocity of Indian response, starting from the withholding of the Indus Water Treaty, right upto the death and destruction over Bahawalpur and other terror HQs.
This time, collateral damage too, seemed acceptable to Indian planners, though they still tried their best to minimize it by timing the initial strikes in the middle of the night.
Pakistani bluff was called out yet again.
And they had nowhere to run.
Of course, they just had to respond. This was no surprise. Too much loss of face would ensue otherwise.
So the Pakistanis launched retaliatory strikes, with spectacular failure to achieve anything worthwhile.
In fact, Majority of Indian casualties resulted from Pakistani shelling of civilian areas in Kashmir.
And then they lost nearly a dozen airbases to Indian retaliation. As always, their DGMO begged for a ceasefire and was granted one.
And .. as always .. Pakistanis went to town celebrating their latest and most ‘fantastic’ victory over their most evil enemy! Their awam too swallowed the bombastic claims hook, line & sinker. Going by them, majority of Indian defence establishments in North India were destroyed!
If this is what makes them happy, so be it. What makes me happy as well is the fact that even the Brown Panted Establishment, over time, starts believing their own propaganda and thus, set themselves up for yet another round of slaps from India, as always.
Propaganda is fine, but when you start believing your own lies is when a stalemate of 1965 turns into a rout of 1971! pic.twitter.com/WarLowTjZq
Meanwhile, Afghanistan too let off some steam across the Durand Line.
Once again, so fantastic was the Pakistani ‘victory’ that they had to agree for mediation by Qatar to get the Taliban to agree for a ceasefire.
Even in ‘victory’, they couldn’t convince the ‘losers’ of Taliban to agree to a bilateral ceasefire.
And somewhere in this duration, the total number of dead of Pakistani security forces crossed the 1,000 mark even before India celebrated Diwali.
Some victory, this!
Btw, the ‘Attack on Pakistan will be considered as an attack on Saudi Arabia’ clause of the much celebrated defence pact never went into action as the Taliban brutally and systematically depanted the Brown Panted Ones!
Talking about de-panting, I’ll just leave this tweet here before moving on with this chain of thoughts!
Glad to note that the phrase 'De-panting' of the Brown Panted Ones is gaining more and more traction! I hereby claim copyright for both these phrases in perpetuity! 😂🙏 pic.twitter.com/Y0G0l38Q9Y
Meanwhile, the Brown Panted Ones & their democratically elected puppets were going ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na’ on their fantastic contributions to the Gaza Peace plan. What they achieved was getting their PM treated like a servant by Trump and called upon to publicly grovel before him!
Btw, Don’t miss that disgusted expression on the face ot the Italian Prime Minister in the video above.
Also don’t miss the slimy smile on the face of the Bhikharistani Prime Minister in this video below!
Meanwhile TLP continues to burn Pakistan in protest of the same Gaza Peace Plan that Shehbaz Sharif so proudly endorses with President Trump.
So where do we go from here?
Well, expect yet more provocation from Bhikharistan, either directly or indirectly, possibly even from the direction of Bangladesh. Why I say this? Because a snake just cannot NOT bite, regardless of the consequences.
The only thing holding them back is the uncertainty over the likely Indian response. The Brown Panted One might consider themselves to be ‘warriors’, but at the end of the day, they also want to stay alive.
And during Op Sindoor, Indian missiles landed far too close to them.
Recent statements from highest echelons of Indian Govt, right from Prime Minister to the Chiefs have been greatly indicative of even more death and destruction in Pakistan during the next round. In fact, they seem even be daring Pakistan to do something!
Here’s a chain of thoughts shared on that some weeks ago :
:Thread: Glad I didn't write on this topic last Sunday as originally planned, because a LOT has happened since. Sharing my thoughts on what might happen in the coming months. Let's see how it goes .. https://t.co/FnxFzXLy7W
And knowing Pakistan, they will soon give us another chance to do what needs to be done.
All I will say is Brace Yourselves, Folks, for this time it will be bloodier, including for own side. All that remains to be seen is the how, when and where of it.
This chain of thoughts was shared on Twitter / X on 10-11 Oct, just before the Afghan-Pakistan border heated up.
Army Chief said it as bluntly as it can be said :
Do watch the one-minute long video of the Chief addressing his troops before moving ahead. Do note the key words that he mentions.
Now the reason this short clip of the Army Chief piqued my interest was the fact that he wasn’t the first one or the only one from the highest echelons speaking thus. In fact, the first such instance was Prime Minister himself when he promised the Navy their dues in next round!
What has followed since are similar statements: EAM : PoK is an integral part of India and will return to India. CAS : Manohar Kahaniyan (Don’t miss the part about planning for next round!) And Raksha Mantri : Road to Karachi goes via Sir Creek.
Here are the videos :-
Feel free to disagree but IMO, this is as good an announcement of what has already been planned for the inevitable next round as and when it happens. When does it happen, is something only the ‘powers that be’ would be privy to. All I can guess is that it is a matter of mere months.
And dare I say, the Brown Panted Ones too have gotten the message.
Of course they had to reply.
And reply they did .. in impeccable English & near-perfect grammar.
However, they were still not done patting themselves on their backs when the bleddy Indians outed their FANTASTIC trick!
Talking about impeccable English, they have indeed come really far since this fiasco of March 2022 when they ‘won’ a similar engagement against the Indian Brahmos launched at them mistakenly!
With a silent pat on his own bumpy, the current Propagandu-in-Chief went about drafting a new outraged message to India. WE WANTS A JOINT PROBES, his staff drafted. He did a facepalm, corrected the grammar and issued the grammatically correct statement – WE WANTS JOINT PROBES!
Of course the alacrity with which the Bhikharistanis acted to secure moral and diplomatic support for their otherwise bankrupt country and its Brown Panted Aand Forces was yet another giveaway of the very real anxiety.
Let me plug here a couple of ‘candid’ photographs of Shri Field Marshal Saheb with Shri Nobel Aspirant Ji during his recent visit to the US of A! The first one is what he wanted to be seen as doing. The second one is what he actually did over there!
Btw, this is the same Donald Ji who is now their latest Baap!
Truly made for each other – Bhikharistan and Amreeka!
‘We have rare earths‘, said the Brown Pants Chief to POTUS Ji during that meeting. Seeing the orange head bob up & down in excitement, the Brown Panted One continued .. ‘So rare are they Janab, that even our old Abbu, the Chinese were not able to find them!‘ ‘In fact we too are still searching Ji‘
They offered not just a shipment of tonnes of ore to Amreeka, but also a whole new port at Pasni to do that. Of course, the Amreekis would be expected to develop that port by their own money because .. well .. BHIKHARISTAN doesn’t have any!
‘So happy is our Dearest Newest Pitaji that they are also supplying us the latest AMRAAM Missiles’, said the Brown Panted Ones to their awam that was still lining up for free atta!
‘NOW let us see how ‘Endia’ will administer the next slap in Sindoor 2′, they crowed to themselves!
However, the next slap started not with a fresh volley of Brahmos Missiles, but with a tweet by the Indian Prime Minister to his friend President Trump, congratulating him on the Gaza Peace Plan!
Incidentally it was the same ‘Peace Plan’ for which Bhikharistanis were patting themselves on their backs for their ‘immense’ contributions! Even POTUS thanked them.
Ironically when ppl saw their ‘immense’ contributions & questioned them, they were quick to run away .. as always!
America has betrayed us .. AGAIN, they cried!! And as if to prove them right, the same day the US Embassy in India let out a statement that there was never any question of providing any missiles to the Bhikharistani Aand Forces!
Btw, talking about the Brown Panted Ones, here is a really inspirational story about how they fought in Erstwhile East Pakistan in 1971, in the words of one of their own! Not to be missed!
Btw, Here’s the report citing the proposal by Shri Asmi Munir’s advisors about the wonderful ‘once in a lifetime’ proposal to the US to come and sit in Pasni!
Believe what you want to, but all I will say is that it is par for the course for Bhikharistan!
What I personally believe is that the most valourous Brown Panted Ones are desperate for an American military presence in Bhikharistan in order to use that as a leverage / insurance against the inevitable next round of slaps from Indian Armed Forces, this time including the Navy!
Why else would they want yet another port for purely commercial purposes when Karachi and the much vaunted Gwadar are already available fairly close to each other in any case?
Food for thought, right?
Then came the latest blow to Bhikharistan .. it actually commenced with PAF striking Afghanistan, including Kabul in response to ‘terror’ emanating from Afghanistan!
If ever there was a back-handed endorsement of the Balakot Airstrikes of 2019 and Op Sindoor Airstrikes of 2025, it was this!
Of course, shortly thereafter landed the Foreign Minister of Afghanistan in India for a SEVEN day official visit!
Bhikharistanis went crazy with indignation!
HOW DARE, HAINJI?, they shouted!
You see, Afghanistan was supposed to be Bhikharistan’s ‘strategic depth’!
India is engaging with Taliban, some from Bhikharistan shouted. Upon hearing this, Irony tied a suicide vest to itself and exploded in the middle of Durand Line out of sheer disgust!
Why, u asked?
Well, because Pakistan was one of the only three countries that had formally recognised Taliban before 9/11!
Of course, the moment USA said ‘With Us or Against Us’ & threatened to bomb Pakistan back to stone age, they promptly handed over Taliban Ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, to USA who then equally promptly, put him up in Gitmo! This is what he says about Bhikharistan, btw 👇
Btw, the Pakistani role in global terrorism in general and the 9/11 attacks in particular has never truly been explored, atleast publicly. Do go thru this thread on that topic. I insist!
Of course when Shri Ramzi Yousef above failed to bring down the twin towers, his uncle and fellow Packie, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed ended up masterminding the 9/11 attacks! Yup, give them free access to your lands, you infidels! pic.twitter.com/w1L2lcjccn
Bottomline: Pakistan has played this duplicitous game for far too long. Their chickens are finally coming home to roost. However, just like a scorpion cannot NOT sting, so it is with Pakistan as well. They will never back down from using terror as a state policy.
It continues even as I write this thread.
But for the time being, let us come back to the issue of the Taliban Foreign Minister’s visit to India.
I would say that it is partly a result of the FANTASTIC pact with Saudi Arabia thru which the idiots of Pindi have, in all probability, forced Iran & Afghanistan to come together for the sake of their own security wrt Pakistan.
Feel free to disagree, but I shall hold on to this thought.
Btw, an interesting aspect about Afghanistan – Pakistan relationship is that even at its weakest & while under the thumbs of the Pakistani State, Afghanistan still did not recognize the Durand Line as its border with Pakistan. The Pashtuns even did this 👇
That said, the IEA Foreign Minister’s visit to India is not just a living proof of the Raj Mandala Theory of Acharya Chanakya, but also a manifestation of really warm linkages with the Afghans and the goodwill that India has traditionally enjoyed in Afghanistan.
As the weeks & months progress, Afghanistan will move from being a strategic depth for Pakistan to being a strategic nightmare! In a way, it has already commenced, notwithstanding these delusional fools that supposedly represent the BEST online Paaki defence experts!
Strategic Depth Explained:
Churchill – We will fight on the beaches, on the seas, in the oceans etc etc
Major General Titanium of @defence_pk – We shall run away from Lahore, we shall run away from Islamabad. We shall run away to Afghanistan!!
Remember those wildly cheering Bhikharistanis as they celebrated the withdrawal of USA from Afghanistan some years ago? No? Well here is a quick snapshot to refresh you!
Incidentally, this former ISI Chief, drinking the Fantastic Tea, is now removed and under court martial!
Those cheers at having defeated USA, are rapidly turning into howls of pain as the Pashtuns rise once again to reclaim their lands east of the Durand Line. Whether or not they succeed, is not a matter of concern to me personally. What matters is that PA continues to bleed.
And this is what I wrote on the issue of ‘Strategic Depth’ about a decade ago.
To that end, I'd rather say that Afghanistan is indeed a strategic depth .. but for India! Yup, feel free to read that again. An Afg that sucks in Packie energies and resources is always good for us. It will continue to be so for atleast another year or so, if not more.
If the Afg Foreign Minister is here in India on a SEVEN-DAY long official visit, one can only imagine the kind of unofficial engagements that would have been going on between India and Afghanistan.
And then there is this 👇 as well!
Add to that this V.E.R.Y interesting choice of words by the Indian Foreign Minister who calls Afghanistan a CONTIGUOUS Neighbour! Is that really so? Currently, no. In future .. who knows! All I’ll say is that at such levels of GOI, each and every word is very well measured.
It would be thus a fair assumption, IMO, that Afg will open up on Durand Line/KPK whenever the next round of pounding of Pakistan from India starts. This time they won’t be just able to move their forces from their Western Borders towards India .. definitely not via Jaffar Express!
As I close this thread, I shall attempt to answer a question that some folks might have – ‘Should We Feel Sorry for Pakistan?’ Answer is a BIG NO! They have made their bed. They might as well sleep in it now. In case anyone feels sorry for them, they too are free to join them there.
Why do I say so, you asked? Well, because a stable Pakistan will only seek to cause harm to India .. to You .. and to Me. It is in their very upbringing. And this is why they are so frustrated .. because they are dying at the hands of Afghans instead of being able to kill Indians.
To them, India will ALWAYS be an enemy, including the dumb Indians who are actually sympathetic to Pakistan as well.
THIS is what they teach their kids in schools.
Must see this and then form your own opinion.
We talk about madrassas as incubators of hate, right? Well, here is what the state sanctioned school curriculum teaches little children in Pakistan. These are a couple screenshots from the blog post linked in previous tweet. pic.twitter.com/5uSAlGbYEc
In a fitting case of Karma, while India hosts the guest from Afghanistan, this is what Bhikharistan is going through. The very snakes that they reared to use against India are now threatening to swallow Pakistan itself.
More power to them, I’d say!
I still remember our own folks wallowing in self-pity when the US had withdrawn from Afghanistan earlier this decade. To them, all that I will say is that ‘Wheels of History Keep Moving .. slowly but steadily. However, they do need blood .. a LOT of it.’
All I will say, folks, is to BRACE YOURSELVES as we head out towards even more ‘exciting’ days up ahead. The next round is inevitable and SOON. How and when it starts is the only thing that needs to be seen.
Folks, sharing some thoughts on recent and current events in near and far neighbourhood. A lot of thoughts entangled in a web .. let me see how it goes
This report from some days ago is a good start point: US Centcom Chief very enthusiastically licking Pakistan’s unwashed backside!
🔴"Pakistan is a phenomenal counter terrorism partner"- US top General said.
Ironically, this came on the day #FBI chief Kash Patel announced that a Pakistani citizen (an ISIS terrorist involved in planning an attack against America) has been extradited to US. pic.twitter.com/9BmTS5BNt5
Whenever such a news comes by, the first thought that goes through one’s head is, what are they planning! In this case, it was quite obvious that Iran was the target, as events proved within days. But I will come to that in a while.
My first thoughts on hearing this latest wooing of Pakistan by the Americans were about the ‘confidence boost’ that Pakistan would get! Confidence boost to do what, you asked? Well, this 👇 is what I wrote in one of my DM Groups a couple of days ago.
I have good reason to believe what I wrote above. Parliament Attack, Kaluchak Attack, 26/11 .. they all happened under the cover of US Operations in Afghanistan wherein India had to hold back own military response due to American pressure. Why else would an Indian PM call for Aar-Paar Ki Ladai after the monstrosity perpetrated by Pakistan backed terrorists in Kaluchak, and yet not do anything?
Btw, do check out the time of the message in the screenshot above. The message was shared just minutes before the Air India Crash in Ahmedabad.
Mind you, I am NOT saying it is an act of sabotage / terror. But I did say this that evening on the same DM group 👇
Of course, the unfortunate Air India Crash may still turn out to be for reasons other than terror, but then with such Paaki sponsored terrorists saying on the record that they would target Air India flights does call for a tonne of skepticism.
But like I said .. it might just have been a terrible accident after all. Yet, knowing Pakistan, they may yet try something inside India, possibly even outside of J&K in order to test the limits of their new-found ‘friendship’ with America.
Hence the need to keep our powder dry.
Coming on to the attacks on Iran, let me start with quoting this 13 year old tweet here. In all probability, it was amongst the first few dozen tweets by me after creating this handle. Seems quite prescient now ..
"Would they have still attacked him if he had nuclear weapons?" – Ahmedinejad on Gaddafi
For Israel, it is an existential threat and hence, it came as no surprise when they launched their attacks on Iran. How that plays out is anybody’s guess. I don’t intend talking much about that in this thread. But then, this question still remains 👇
Just a random thought:
When and by whom will the world see the next nuclear test? (North Korea excepted!)#JustAsking
Really interesting times these, that we currently live in.
The KaalChakra grinds slowly but surely. Given the way the world is warring currently, all major powers except China and India are already directly involved, even if being geographically detached from physical violence like Europe and USA.
All I'll say as I end this thread, folks, is 'BRACE YOURSELVES'!
It is blood which moves the wheels of history.. Given the current situation, I bet the wheels are moving faster and faster each passing day.
Thanks for your patience. I think I will end this thread here 🙏
The wheels of history are moving faster and faster indeed. IMO, there is no running away from what awaits us over the coming few months and years. In our case as well, it is pertinent to note that Operation Sindoor has not yet been called off.
If we are lucky enough to live till the end of the next decade, we will in all probability, die in a world that is vastly different from the one that we were born in. Whether it will be 'good different' or 'bad different', remains to be seen.#JustSayinghttps://t.co/Ogp7OxlbBR
Coming back to our own neighbourhood, the imminent attack on Iran explains why Pakistan suddenly got a booster dose of alms through IMF / ADB etc right after Pahalgam Terror Attack / Op Sindoor. But what these bombastic idiots don’t realize is that these good days would not last long.
Long after the Americans are gone, the loans will continue to remain .. until they can whore themselves out all over again, that is!
Mind you, the CENTCOM Chief General Michael Kurilla, who talked so highly about Pakistan (see the beginning of this blog post) himself is a veteran of the US War in Afghanistan. He should be, in all probability, quite aware of the perfidious role of Pakistan in Op Enduring Freedom.
And just in case he might have missed out the sanctuary for Taliban across the Durand Line, the idiots of Pakistan spared no efforts in telling him and anyone else that was tuned in! This interview of a former ISI Chief is just one such example.
An Absolute MUST WATCH!
PS: Don’t miss the fawning applause from the highly impressed audience in the above video!
I think at this point it is important to highlight that Pakistanis are themselves ‘kafir’ to those who are not really big fans of the Islamic Bomb! Here is Netanyahu talking about it some years ago.
All in all .. the world is in a pretty fucked up situation right now.
And this is merely the beginning, I’d say. Much worse is yet to come as we move ahead.
Events that take decades to build up, suddenly happen in a matter of weeks. We are rapidly approaching that point now, IMO.
And where does that leave us in India, you asked? Well, our position with respect to Iran is still exactly the same as it was 13 years ago, for one!
On Iran. US : "Are you with us or against us?" India : "Yes." US : "Huh?" India : 🙂
Never mind the idiots in the US of A who are trying their best to piss off a large country in near neighbourhood of Iran / Israel .. a country that genuinely stands with Israel at that. Just because we don’t see Russia the same way as they do!
Btw, since Senator @LindseyGrahamSCJi was crying about legal advice on the use of force, here is what came to my mind. I am sure she will agree with me!
I agree. Legal advice on use of force is best sought from the USA who have been the pioneers in the use of legal force the world over! 🤣 https://t.co/HszHGZxji1
That said, ramblings of US Senators make no marked difference in India standing up for its own interests. It never has, even though at times we have been forced into inaction as mentioned in the beginning of this blog.
Coming closer to our borders, what I foresee is a Pakistan increasingly desperate at not getting waters from Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej at the time and in quantities they desire, as was the case till they perpetrated the Pahalgam Terror Attack. This is a far more dangerous situation for them than even what was handed over to them from 07-10 May 2025 via Op Sindoor. The cacophony on Indus Water Treaty never quite died down in Pakistan. Because they know the real implications of this.
When their crop yields drop, or fail altogether, then they will realize the true import of the heartfelt call by the great visionary ZA Bhutto when he said ‘We shall eat grass’. Sadly, he was hanged shortly thereafter, else he would have been happy to see his dream come true!
Water is one thing that can bring Pakistan to try desperate measures, including more terror provocations. Thankfully, they have mitigated it to some extent by hacking into our dams and controlling the release gates remotely!
Phew! The world is saved by Paaki Genius .. AGAIN!
All said and done, the only thing that can be said with reasonable amount of surety is that we are headed for even greater chaos in the world in the coming weeks and months.
I’m just waiting to see if America directly gets involved in the latest Israel-Iran spat. Because if they do, it will open up windows of opportunity / threats in many different geographies of the world to take decisive action in their own neighbourhoods as well.
By the time the dust settles on this cycle of destruction and regeneration, not only grass but a lot of giants too would have been trampled to death.
When 2 elephants fight, it's the grass that gets trampled Ukraine is just the latest pawn in the fight amongst superpowers .. a WILLING pawn I foresee no honourable way out of this for Ukraine. They would be lucky to just retain land they currently controlhttps://t.co/4kpowgv1rJ
Folks, sharing some thoughts on the recent statement by the CDS in Singapore regarding potential losses of IAF aircraft during Op Sindoor. Here goes ..
At the outset, I offer my heartiest congratulations to Paakis for their spectacular victory in Kargil where they brought down three IAF aircraft and for the even more FANTASTIC victory of 1971 wherein they shot down anywhere between 45 – 65 IAF aircraft! There’s a video as well!
In the same vein, I also offer my heartfelt commiserations to my fellow Indians who are beating their chests and doing R@ndi Rona about having lost Op Sindoor because IAF lost some aircraft!
Before moving ahead, I will offer a simple, two-step advice to such folks who cannot digest the loss in Op Sindoor. Here it is :
Step 1 : Take a deep breath.
Step 2 : Hold it for 29 minutes!
Must try it!
It will help you find eternal peace. Sachchi!
Moving on, never mind the death and destruction visited by the IAF and IA on Bhikharistan without any pity or remorse over the course of those 88 hours!
Never mind the utterly destroyed and humbled terror headquarters at Muridke and Bahawalpur!
Never mind the dead Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf of PAF who was actually killed in a road accident instead of the Brahmos Strike at Bholari where he was working on a Saab Erieye AEW&C platform of the PAF.
Never mind the explosions at Kirana Hill because IAF never knew about it and absolutely NEVER bombed it!
Never mind the fact that during Op Sindoor, IAF addressed dozens of targets as far as 300km inside Pakistan with possibly a hundred or so IAF aircraft in the air together at the same time while overwhelming PAF and PA air defences!
Never mind the fact that .. well .. never mind .. please keep minding all facts because the IAF lost some aircraft in doing so!
Also, never mind the fact that the CDS himself mentioned that lessons were learnt and IAF didn’t suffer a scratch thereafter!
Many years ago, during my Facebook days, I got an opportunity to be a ‘content writer’ for some months for a popular defence/geostrategy page with nearly a million followers. What I realized was that many of us have a habit of looking for a dark cloud behind every silver lining!
Just like we did when we overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth largest economy & idiots started breaking their bangles crying that our per capita GDP was still lower than Japan! Of course it was and it will continue to be for a long time! But our GDP still surpassed Japan and that too would remain a fact!
On that note, I will just leave this tweet here before moving on!
Bottomline is that what we achieved in those 88 or so hours in Operation Sindoor is something that all leading militaries of the world will be studying for a long long time. As far as Paakis and some folks within our own borders go, they can keep laughing/crying about IAF losses!
Their latest Field Marshal can keep orgasming over the beautiful photograph of the Chinese military exercise presented by him to that joker appointed as the Prime Minister of Bhikharistan by himself some years ago!
Why I call Shehbaz Sharif a joker, you asked? Well here is the reason 👇😂
A military that has lost each & every war that it has ever fought, cannot help but resort to lies and misinformation and in this case, bombast .. to keep itself relevant amongst its own people. Hence Paakis will keep on crowing about downed IAF aircraft while staying mum over this 👇
I have no issues with this. I, in fact, wish them many more such FANTASTIC victories over India in the days, weeks and months to come! Seriously!
May Allah keep granting such victories to Pakistan each and every time they engage with Indian armed forces! https://t.co/h7AxEPkupa
However, what gets me ‘amused’ is the sheer R@ndi Rona in some sections of my own people at loss of a few airframes! India can easily afford to make up for the loss of all airframes lost during Op Sindoor!
But as far as Bhikharistan goes .. well .. they will have to eat grass!
Mind you, we achieved all this without the Indian Navy having to fire even a single round!
Just imagine the next round when Karachi and Ormara and all such get bombed from the seas!
I didn’t say it .. my Raksha Mantri said so himself!
To conclude, I would say that I can live my life while accepting the loss of a couple of airframes, especially when the pilots are all fine!
As for those who are still beating their chests .. well .. Peace Be Upon You!
As far as Paakis go, it warms my heart to see them go ecstatic in their celebrations!
They did so in 1965 as well. Unfortunately, they lost half their country a mere six years later!
This is what happens when you start believing your own propaganda – a MASSIVE victory of 1965 turns into a rout in 1971! Magnificent Delusions indeed! https://t.co/XUhoC6owPJ
However, in their own eyes, they still DID NOT lose in 1971! Don’t believe me? Here is what a young child of Bhikharistan is taught in her school in Pakistan Studies .. she believes that Pakistan GIFTED independence to Bangladesh!
I say that such fools deserve to be cheered on!
And when they find taps in their airports running dry, they can go hunting for leaves from nearby trees .. because waters of Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej will henceforth only flow into Pakistan as and when India desires!
Also, let us keep cheering their FANTASTIC victory in Feb 2019! What amuses me, however, is the fact that after such a FANTASTIC victory, they couldn’t do anything at all when India cancelled Article 370!
Might this 👇 have been the reason?
In the end, I will just leave this tweet here without any further comment! Yes, Paakis won and we lost!
ब्रह्म मुहूर्त में श्री ब्रह्मोस जी ने साक्षात दर्शन दे दिए भिखारिस्तान में! https://t.co/jHLyvC48wa
Note: This chain of thoughts was first shared on Twitter/X on the evening of 11 May 2025. Posting it here for archival purposes.
At the outset, I will say what we have done to Pakistan is simply unimaginable. To that I will also add, Picture Abhi Baaki Hai!
Let me try and explain how ..
Very aptly named Operation Sindoor, it avenged #PahalgamTerrorAttack with brute force. However, let me go back in time and start from the situation post-Kargil 1999 :
IC 814 Hijack. We released three terrorists.
2001 : Parliament Attack. We mobilized, but didn’t attack.
2002 : Kaluchak Attack. They killed 2-month old babies at point blank range. We didn’t retaliate. Op Parakram continued.
2005 : Delhi Bombings. 60+ dead. No retaliation.
2006 : Mumbai Train Bombings. 200+ dead. No retaliation.
2008: 26/11 Mumbai Attacks. Only dossiers sent to Pakistan in retaliation.
After 26/11, however, Pakistan stopped mass-casualty terror attacks outside of Kashmir. No major terror attacks happened outside Kashmir thereafter.
2019 : Pulwama. Retaliation came in form of Balakot and the shooting down of a PAF F-16 the next day.
Thereafter there were practically no terror attacks for the next six years .. till Pahalgam. I shall come to that in a moment, but first let me say something about info warfare.
Post Balakot, a large chunk of people on own side of the border were (as they are now) upset that we had lost the war of narratives. However, despite ‘winning’ the war of narratives, Pakistan STILL couldn’t prevent India from abrogating Article 370 less than six months later! Instead, all that they could do was whine and cry on social media / MSM, while at the same time desperately trying to keep their public sentiment under control! This 👇 was what I tweeted thereafter. Must have a look!
This thread was tweeted three days after the abrogation of Article 370 in Aug 2019, seeing the game of headless chickens going on in Bhikharistan. Do NOT miss the story of Shri Brown Majesty that this thread starts with! 😂🙏https://t.co/Y8MUVUGhEu
Coming over to Pahalgam, what happened there is known to all. That there will be a retaliation was a given, thanks to the past record of this GOI as well as the extremely strong statements by the PM, HM and Raksha Mantri.
If this is not an announcement of much worse headed the way of Pakistan, then I don't know what else it is. The Paakis overplayed their hand in #PahalgamTerrorAttack. They thought they would sour the visit of Vance, just as they did during Clinton's timehttps://t.co/CFOZdNIDxc
While the Pakis would have been expecting the ‘usual’ retaliation in the form of anti-terror strikes like before, the GOI fired the first salvo less than 12 hours after the #PahalgamTerrorAttack by putting the Indus Water Treaty in Abeyance. This was the chain of thoughts shared by me on that event:
:Thread: Folks, sharing some thoughts on implications of the GOI decision to hold Indus Water Treaty in Abeyance in the aftermath of the Pakistan Sponsored #PahalgamTerrorAttack. The immediate trigger for the thread is this notification by the IRSA of Bhikharistan 👇 Here goes .. pic.twitter.com/DXtJkTNGCw
If Paakis thought that this came out of syllabus, then they were in for yet another rude shock when Op Sindoor actually commenced!
They said putting IWT on hold was an act of war. I wonder what they thought on the night Indian bombs/missiles came calling, heralding Op Sindoor!
Yes, India once again hit non-military and non-civilian targets in Pakistan, thereby giving an off-ramp to the Brown Panted Ones which we knew they would NEVER take! But this time they hit not just one, but tens of targets, including right in the middle of major Paaki cities! This shall remain my all time favourite video of Operation Sindoor! We hit them .. and how! Right through the domes of their terror factories while they slept in blissful sleep, never to wake up again!
This voiceless video explains Op Sindoor in all its brutal glory!
Of course, the Brown Panted Ones retaliated. They just couldn’t have NOT retaliated. They had no choice it this.
India knew it as well and was prepared.
Resultantly, Indian AD foiled each and every projectile that the Bhikharistanis threw our way, including Ballistic Missiles.
Btw, contrast the high spirits on the Indian side in the video in the tweet above, with the sheer panic on the Bhikharistani side. The so-called ‘Ghazis’ were quick to turn around and run away!
But jokes apart, there was one more serious impact of such strikes.
This widespread series of attacks by India, targetting Paaki military targets in the middle of their major cities hit home in yet another way. Every Paaki citizen, whether he acknowledges it or not, now knows that his own home can be easily hit.
The war had hit home. Literally.
What reinforced the fact was that India sent a deliberate ‘near-miss’ in Rawalpindi, exploding in the Race Course near the GHQ and possibly Asim Munir’s residence itself. Then there was the targetting of Pak AD systems in one of the DHA Complexes as well.
I am sure that with Indian drones, bombs and missiles landing practically everywhere, sirf bomb hee nahi fatte honge .. aur bhi bahut kuchh fata hoga Pakistaniyo ka!
Also, this time there was no one asking for ‘proof’ .. because proof, in all its brutal glory, was provided by Bhikharistanis themselves, thanks to their cheap Chinese smartphones! Including from the strategic Nur Khan & Bholari Airbases! Don’t miss the ‘O SHIT’ in the 3rd video!
I think Miss Urmila Ji from Mumbai and her Radar-sensitive dog too would be V.E.R.Y happy at this turn of events!
I am sure this one will be THRILLED to see the clear videos of last night's attacks shown in today's press briefing. Hopefully, Miss @Urmilamatondkar Ji's glee at GOI not being able to make available HD Imagery of Balakot Strikes will be gone for good. https://t.co/d6YymhJrJa
Yes, the Brown Panted Ones tried their best to retaliate. They put their BESTEST minds together and put out a DEVASTATING reply to Indian Attacks .. Yes, they released a brand new song!
Unfortunately, India STILL doesn’t have a suitable reply to this blow!
Pakistan ka Bhaarat ko KARAARA Jawab .. Ek brand new gaana!! Tayyar Hain Hum is the title!
Of course they are Tayyar! Something tells me they already have 5-6 such songs ready at all times .. Pata Nahi Kab Indian Army bol de – 'Chalo Darling Tayyar Ho Jao, Aaaj Mood Hai Kuchh… pic.twitter.com/b2TBQf4m3s
Unfortunately, however, their Chinese Air Defence Systems couldn’t protect even themselves, let alone their airbases and terror infrastructure! Oh, the memes that came out!
Damn those Indians sitting comfortably in their homes, NOT worried about bombs landing up their asses, and creating all those memes, I tells you! This one below, though, is my personal favourite! Perfectly exemplifies what IAF and Indian Army did to Pakistanis DESPITE their Chinese equipment!
Of course, the Brown Panted Ones tried. They tried really hard indeed.
And they FAILED .. thanks to their Chinese equipment!
So much so that they even gifted atleast one nearly perfectly intact Chinese AAM to India!
Chinese gave their latest maal to Pakistan. It missed its target, ran out of fuel and landed nearly intact! Reminded me of this video. PS: This video is NOT a highly symbolic commentary on China giving weapons to Pakistan! (Or maybe it is!) 😂 https://t.co/JfEPfa5BRopic.twitter.com/BkQlUu1SwP
They claimed to have shot down a Rafale or two. They even broadcast the supposed radio intercepts of Shri Godzilla Ji who was flying the India Rafale searching for his comrade. But they couldn’t find even one video of the dead body of Shri Rafale Ji lying dead on Indian side!
When asked proof for claims of shooting 5 IAF planes, their idiot Defence Minister offered – Proof is all over Social Media!
Why did he say that you asked?
Well because that is all they had – Conspiracy theories by SM handles, most of which were their own.
But NO wreckage!
And when poked again (no pun intended) by yet another news anchor asking difficult question, Shri Defence Minister of Bhikharistan suddenly became deaf!
Yes, and these idiots claim they WON the war! Well, their own yahoos may buy this crap from them, but not me!
Point to note is that all their senior ministers were giving interviews to all foreign channels, alternating between bombastic statements and whining. OTOH, on the Indian side it was just the Foreign Secy and the two officers addressing the media at set times. This speaks volumes indeed.
Each time India would administer a slap, the statement would be ‘If you come back again, we will slap you again’. Of course, just like a scorpion cannot NOT sting, the Brown Panted Ones would try & fail over & over again.
How could India turn down this invite to slap them again, hainji?!
The pinnacle of Indian retaliation was reached soon enough when within a span of minutes, India addressed 11 Airbases of the PAF and inflicted massive damages, including to critical high value assets of the PAF. That a few of these were near known nuke sites was just ‘incidental’!

So this is how Operation Sindoor went on from the night of 7-8 May to night of 10 May when Pakistan successfully pled its case for a ceasefire. It took just three days from 8-10 May for the famed Brown Panted Ones to live up to their reputation!
Btw, this video is called SWAHA!
Before moving ahead, let me share this 👇 ‘candid’ conversation of the Paaki Defence Minister as well!
Let me now address the most important fact – the Utter and Complete inability of the Brown Panted Ones to prevent the Indian attacks on their key installations etc.
Visuals uploaded by the Paaki awam themselves are proof enough.
Mind you, all this has happened within a span of LESS THAN 72 HOURS from the very early hours of 8th May till the afternoon of 10th May when the Brown Panted DGMO called up his Indian counterpart begging for ceasefire!
Yes, it took LESS THAN 72 HOURS to bring Pakistan to its knees ..
I know, some folks on Indian Twitter and all the folks on Paaki Twitter will disagree, saying that Shri Shehbaz Sharif has declared victory and that Paakis are dancing in the streets in joy!
To these people, all I will say is .. You couldn’t be more wrong!
But as the saying goes .. You cannot wake up someone who is merely PRETENDING to be asleep! So I shall accept the fact that they don’t believe me and move on with my life in general, and this thread in particular!
They all know the true worth of the Brown Panted Ones. Hence it came as no surprise that much much before the first Indian bomb had even crossed the IB, Paakis had started threatening nuclear armageddon in anticipation!
Their lack of faith in their Brown Panted Ones to defend their sorry little country is truly remarkable!
With benefit of hindsight I must say that they were entirely correct in their assessment, given the immense damage India inflicted on them with impunity and utter contempt!
Less than 48 hours after the first Indian bombardment they announced a meeting of their Nuke Control Authority! What helped was the reports that India had hit a possible nuke storage facility near Sargodha and possibly one or two more! I think that, and the imminent meeting of Paaki Nuke Command Authority is what spooked the rest of the ‘civilized’ world.
Mind you, India was NOT concerned at all, merrily planning on inflicting more pain.
But then came the offer of surrender by the Paaki DGMO when he called up!
So they decided to take the Indian hit on their unmentionables and sue for peace, perhaps because they no longer had any unmentionables left for the next round!
Guns will fall silent at 5pm, they agreed. India had delivered the last blow this time, just like all previous times!
But then just as folks on this side of the border (including yours truly) were bemoaning the sudden and unexpected ceasefire, came the news of a fresh Paaki attack!
Mind you, we Indians were happy that the Paakis had attacked again!
Not because we wanted to see our own folks get hurt. Because we KNEW that Indian Armed Forces won’t let them get hurt. Instead, what made us so happy was the fact that now Paakis will get some more bums up their bums!
That evening also saw some brand new memes too!
However, very few questioned the likely reason behind the latest wave of attacks despite the desperate ceasefire offer. IMO, it could possibly have been due to an internal power struggle within the Paaki Army.
But very soon, the attacks failed (as usual) & India delivered yet another blow, this time in Peshawar! Once again, it was India that gave the last slap!
On an unrelated note, Peshawar was a target too far in the 1965 War and was only reached on a handful of occasions by the IAF!
Now if I were a Paaki General, I would have shot myself at this humiliation at the hands of my eternal enemy and that too in less than 72 hours.
But then, that would require a little bit of self-respect, no?
So Pakistan did what comes naturally to them – They declared victory!
They showed the world a list of targets in India hit and destroyed. Their yahoos on social media went berserk with joy! They came out on their (bombed) streets delirious in yet another victory! No proof was needed .. because it was all over social media, you see!!
Meanwhile, India went ahead and gave out satellite imagery of Pakistani targets destroyed in the less than 72 hours of engagements!
Thus ended this particular round of India-Pakistan conflict. Yes, it was incomplete. But it was much different than previous ones.
Come to think of it .. it lasted almost as long as the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks! How’s that for Karma, huh Pakistan?
Let me talk a bit now about what we achieved in this round.
Mind you, it still is unfinished business.
It will always remain thus till the time Pakistan and the ideology behind it remains standing. To that extent I endorse the outrage on the ‘premature’ ceasefire as well.
However, I also endorse the fact that the ceasefire is a fact.
The GOI decided to go ahead with it for reasons best known to them. They naturally have access to much much more information than you and I can ever hope to have. So yes, while disappointed, I accept the fact that the wonderful hammering that Pakistan was getting, has ceased FOR THE TIME BEING.
It will happen again.
They WILL give us yet another chance, over & over again.
That is the reason I am not crying out for this round having ended.
So we move on to what we gained ..
We exposed the Brown Panted Ones in front of not just their awam, but the entire world for the shitty soldiers that they are. The only thing they are good for, is gobbling up the meagre resources of their country and plead when India hits them!
A whole generation of Indians have seen war for the first time. And I include the Kargil generation as well because not even Kargil came this close! 1971 would be a better comparison.
Also, Indian Armed Forces, since long involved in sub-conventional ops, got a wonderful opportunity to test themselves in a large-scale conventional contingency! This will go a long way in finetuning the already very fine battle drills of the IA, IN and IAF.
Talking about IN 👇😂
Mind you, this time the Indian Navy didn’t join the fight while the Indian Army too didn’t mobilize even after the hostilities began, whereas the Brown Panted Ones were already mobilized and in their battle positions since much before!
The Brown Panted Ones were anticipating another military strike (which, frankly, SHOULD still happen). They even mobilized their derelict pieces of military hardware towards the Indian borders amid much public fanfare! But India? Well India just yawned and didn't mobilize at all!
Then there was the fact that the entire Nation came together as one behind the Indian Armed Forces, letting go of their petty differences of opinions. Some jokers still whined for Pakistan, but they can rot in their own private hells for all I care.
Resident Non-Indians. Period. Sadly, when the heat dies down, she will be back spewing the same venom all over again. https://t.co/9iwQCgA311
OTOH, in Pakistan the Baloch inflicted atleast two dozen casualties on the Brown Panted Ones! The difference could not be starker!
Further, India has changed forever the paradigm of retaliation to terror attacks. The ceasefire was accepted with the caveat that any terror attack would be considered an act of war. This is a HUGE statement of intent, backed by the nearly three days of massive punishment already.
Heck, India didn’t even waste time seeking incontrovertible proof of Pakistani involvement in #PahalgamTerrorAttack, thus bringing to a naught the Pakistani efforts to paint it as an internal issue of India!
This Indian message has hit home .. over and over again, I’d say!
Of course, the Pakistani nuclear bogey that kept Indian responses ‘rational’ thus far has been blown up, figuratively and literally too as per some accounts!
𝗕𝗨𝗗𝗗𝗛𝗔 𝗦𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡 Reportedly, a team of US experts has reached #Rawalpindi to assess the damage done to #Pakistan's Nuclear weapons storage ar #NurKhanBase.
But then, Pakistan does have the World’s Best Air Force .. a fact endorsed not by Pakistani photoshop experts but sakshaat Telegraph Ji!
The next positive outcome for the Motherland is the fact that indigenous weapons performed perfectly under warlike conditions. If this doesn’t give a further boost to enhanced acquisition and export of indigenous weapons systems, then nothing else can!
Another important point is that the cost of keeping Pakistan alive has gone up massively for the West and for China, the latest IMF bakhsheesh notwithstanding.
In fact, this won’t even be enough to cover the losses of the past few days!
Of course with the America backed ceasefire, American interests lobby in Pakistan Army will gain strength at the cost of China interests lobby. Now THAT would be interesting to watch! In any case, most Generals have their spawns settled in the USA in any case, and NONE in China! This naturally makes them more ‘amenable’ to American interests!
Meanwhile, the Indus Water Treaty remains suspended, as does the Simla Agreement.
Yes, do read the above line once again! It gives us much more freedom than before to do what is in our national interests, instead of getting tied down in legalese.
Remember, Pakistani narrative that Pakistan has ‘won’ this round not much different from the post 1965 narrative. Unfortunately, despite the ‘Spectacular Victory’ of 1965, Ayub Khan was unceremoniously removed from power. Let’s see what happens when dust settles this time round.
Also remember that India recently became the fourth largest economy in the world some days back while Pakistan remains .. well .. Pakistan!
Reminded me of these words from SunderKand:
जहाँ सुमति तहँ संपति नाना।
जहाँ कुमति तहँ बिपति निदाना।।
Do read them once again!
In the end, all I will say is that the India Armed Forces deserve all the applause that we can give them. Pakistan WILL give more and more chances to hit them in the future, and knowing this GOI, they will keep getting hit exactly where it hurts – Their Ego.
Before concluding, I will just add this thread dedicated to Pakistan – Turkey friendship that was so at display during Op Sindoor!
:Thread:
So this wannabe Khalifa of the 21st Century makes clear his preference! In light of this, sharing a short thread on Pakistan-Turkey relationship at the very basic, people to people, level! https://t.co/c2CjqZuIdZ
NOTE : This Chain of Thoughts was shared on Twitter late on the night of 08 May 2025. Sharing it here for archival purposes.
So it begins .. the Fourth Round (not counting Kargil) ..
Let me share some thoughts that are still jumbled up in my head. Let’s see how it turns out. Here goes ..
At the outset, let us say a prayer for the hundreds of thousands of young men who will put their very lives on the line for the sake of the Motherland in the days & weeks to come. May they find victory .. by the ever-present grace of the Almighty.
NISCHAY KAR APNI JEET KAROON ..
Always remember one thing .. the sum total of men martyred / injured fighting Pakistan sponsored terror in Kashmir, Punjab and elsewhere in the country has already exceeded the fatalities in all wars with Pakistan thus far.
So, it makes sense to see the permanent end of this scourge to our West.
As they say, The Antidote of Poison, is Poison, NOT Nectar.
Some more pain in the short term is okay to bear, if and IF it ensures long-term peace and stability. Hence, the cautious optimism in me.
Before moving ahead, let me just offer a disclaimer : It might cease just as quickly as it has started. Or it may continue for a longer duration. I am not a clairvoyant so I cannot really say how it shall pan out.
Regardless, I’ll offer my own point of view. Feel free to disagree.
However, one thing is absolutely clear – This is a war about the future of our very civilization. I don’t mean a war that begun just a few hours ago. I mean a war that began in 712 AD, the day from where Pakistan traces its history .. a history that they feel is still incomplete.
A history, that they feel will only be complete once they capture India .. a history that they feel will only be complete once they complete Ghazwa ‘e Hind .. a History that they feel will only be complete when they demolish all our Temples and offer Namaz there.
Moving now from History to the Present, I’m quite sure that the Brown Panted Ones wouldn’t have, even in their wildest dreams, ever thought that a ‘simple’ terror attack would escalate things this far. Like I said some weeks ago, they overplayed their hand.
If this is not an announcement of much worse headed the way of Pakistan, then I don't know what else it is. The Paakis overplayed their hand in #PahalgamTerrorAttack. They thought they would sour the visit of Vance, just as they did during Clinton's timehttps://t.co/CFOZdNIDxc
Just like a scorpion cannot NOT sting due to its very nature, false ego & bombast of the Paakis will NOT let them just accept that they have been bettered & stop provoking India further. Heart of heart, they know they are no match for India. They have seen it in all previous wars.
You may fool everyone in the world, but you cannot fool the man staring back at you in the mirror. The same is true for Pakistan as well.
The biggest example is the utopian concept of Afghanistan being their ‘Strategic Depth’!
Think about it.
They knew they would lose to India. Hence, the bombast about fighting Indian Army from Afghanistan!
I bet many of us, and many of Pakistanis as well never saw it this way .. that the Brown Panted Ones were convinced of getting defeated.
So was Mr Lal Topi, btw!
A good analogy that is very apt for Pakistan would be that of a poor man investing all his savings in buying a new suit and saying that he belongs to the ‘high society’. But the fact that underneath that suit he is wearing torn and tattered undergarments would never leave him!
Once again, it is corroborated by none other than the erstwhile Brown Panted Chief, General Bajwa himself when he spoke to a group of journalists not very long ago. Must watch this video from the 3-minute mark, if not fully :
The Pakis’ ego has landed them in a situation where they have no way out except by getting slapped and kicked by the much hated and much vilified Kafirs of India. The analogy of Monkey-Trap fits them perfectly.
Their ego won’t let them stop.
Their aukaat won’t let them last long.
One possible way out is this 👇
Hypothetically, the only 'honourable' way out for Bhikharistan is the 1971 template – Remove Asim Munir and bring Imran Khan back as Prime Minister. Granted, this will still leave the Brown Panted Snake alive to fight another day, but for right now, this seems their only option! https://t.co/zf50zI4zPj
Whether they take it or not, is anybody’s guess. But a fair assumption is that Asim Munir won’t last long as Brown Panted Chief. Either he loses the war & becomes President aka Musharraf, or gets thrown our aka Ayub / Yahya.
Of course, one more option, a VERY WELL PRACTICED ONE at that, is to simply surrender .. and call it a ‘game’ just like Niazi said in 1971. He went from ‘Never Surrender’ on 14 Dec to calling it a ‘game’ less than 48 hours later!
Now that this latest round has started, I can only hope that it gives a decisive blow so that these bastards cannot dare to look our way for the next 50 years atleast. Thanks to their inflated sense of self-worth, utter and complete humiliation is the only medicine that will work.
1971 kept them away for 54 years till now. They dared not breach our perceived red lines. They did a 26/11 with full confidence that we won’t react. They did Pahalgam also under the same premise, thinking that they had gamed and catered for likely Indian reaction.
Unfortunately for them, their bluff has been called.
I’m sure there would be a healthy dose of panic within GHQ at Rawalpindi at the giant next door who has had it with them. The visuals of Paaki awam at the time of Indian bombs landing in their cities are adequate proof as well.
The guns will fall silent eventually.
It might happen tomorrow, or after a month, or a year.
I think that this clash lasting for atleast three weeks would ultimately make the Brown Panted Ones crumble under sheer logistical strain once their one week worth of stocks they hold, run out.
In any case, the much touted and the much shouted ‘lashkars’ of Jihadis that they threatened would literally swarm Indian forces are either missing or dead in the recent strikes.
On that note, I wonder whatever became of this uncle from 2019! 👇
As I conclude this chain of thoughts, I think it is fit to leave a wishlist for when the guns finally stop booming. I would wait for the day Chicken’s Neck and Chhamb-Jaurian are back in Indian Control. These saw some of the most intense fighting in 1965 and 1971.
And of course, Kartarpur Saheb!
Now THAT is something which would put the Khalistani stooges of Pakistan in a spin!! It may or may not happen in this round. But it must eventually happen. And I hope to be alive at that time.
There's a whole lot more 'excitement' left to come in the next few years, IMO. I've maintained that if we are lucky enough to be alive at the end of the next decade, then the world that we die in will be much much different from the one that we were born in.#JustSayinghttps://t.co/U1aFB0cRRp
Note: This chain of thoughts was first shared on Twitter on the night of 06 May 2025, barely a few hours before Operation Sindoor launched by the Indian Armed Forces
Folks, sharing some thoughts on implications of the GOI decision to hold Indus Water Treaty in Abeyance in the aftermath of the Pakistan Sponsored #PahalgamTerrorAttack. The immediate trigger for the thread is this notification by the IRSA of Bhikharistan 👇. Here goes ..
I would find it very insulting to my Motherland when people would proudly say the the Indus Water Treaty continued to be respected by India even during the wars with Pakistan. This is purely and simply, a lack of शत्रुबोध on our side.
The enemy, on the other hand, is very clear. India is the eternal enemy for them. Always has been, and always will be. Yes, they will mooch off us and our generosity, but at the end of the day, they won’t hesitate in destroying us, given even half a chance
Talking about Bhikharistanis that come over to India for medical treatment, I was reminded of this bastard👇 They will mooch off India when in need, even if they hate us from the bottom of their hearts. Let their govt make hospitals for them instead of building missiles and nukes https://t.co/4gcLy98nqwpic.twitter.com/1Wqwmi2SDZ
Ironically, opening paragraph itself says that the Treaty is signed in a ‘Spirit of Goodwill and Friendship’.
I think that spirit got buried under the sands of the Indus Basin over and over again, in 1965, 1971, 1987, 1999, 2002. Various terror attacks by Pak only helped even more.
I will not go into the technicalities of the Treaty, except for just saying that it gave way more to Pakistan, at the cost of the interests of our own people. So much so that even the then J&K CM said so in 2014 : J&K suffered losses due to Indus Water Treaty: Omar Abdullah
So, coming on to what has been happening thus far, and what happens next ..
First and foremost, going far beyond the world of Surgical Strikes and Balakot Airstrikes, the impact of putting the IWT on hold is nothing short of a nuclear strike on Bhikharistan, IMO!
Let me elaborate..
Here is how it went previously:
Surgical Strikes : Paakis responded by blatant and vociferous denial that any such thing happened!
Balakot : Paakis responded by losing an F-16 to a MiG 21 and then being scared shitless by Indian threats into releasing Abhinandan ASAP!
Further, during both, the Balakot and the Surgical Strikes, India took great care in ensuring no collateral damage or harm to the non-military & non-terrorist Pakistani citizens. Of course, they were & continue to be ungrateful bastards, but that is a topic for another day!
In this particular instance of putting the IWT on hold, Pakistan has practically no answer except for huffing and puffing!
And this time, the action has hit home to practically each and every Bhikharistani that inhabits those lands of the Sindhu river that they stole from Bharat.
The Brown Panted Ones were anticipating another military strike (which, frankly, SHOULD still happen). They even mobilized their derelict pieces of military hardware towards the Indian borders amid much public fanfare!
But India?
Well India just yawned and didn’t mobilize at all!
Instead of moving its military, India just turned off the tap to the various rivers that had till recently, been flowing unimpeded into Pakistan! And then .. after a few days .. India opened the taps fully!
Poor Bhikharistanis .. they have absolutely no idea what to expect next!!
Basically, what India has done is something which the Brown Panted Ones had never thought of even in their wildest of dreams when giving the go-ahead for the Pahalgam Terror Attack. India introduced a paradigm shift in which, instead of uniting behind their army, Paaki population is cursing them! Moreover, this time they are also DIRECTLY feeling the impact of their wholehearted endorsement of the Pakistani terror infrastructure : ‘India can starve us’: farmers in Pakistan decry suspension of crucial water treaty
^^ So now they cry that they will starve.
Why?
Because in their (beautiful) minds, they believe that India overreacted to Packie terrorists killing 26 innocent Indian after confirming their religion!
I kid you not.
THIS is what they mean in this article screenshotted below!
But if you want a crisp summary, then this tweet 👇 says it all!
Yes, Indian simply cannot stop the flow of water into Pakistan. But what India CAN, and IS doing is to regulate the flow as per our desires & our requirements instead of foolishly adhering to the terms of a treaty with an enemy which in any case was blatantly biased in his favour. We may not have the capacity to store all the water for perpetuity, but we do have the means to decide when and how much flows into Pakistan.
A few weeks’ delay and a ‘little’ bit of moderation into inflows to Pakistan can ruin an entire sowing season out there. This is what is causing so much concern in that terrorist country at this moment!
It would be safe to assume atleast double the official estimates given below as the true figure, I’d say :
And in case you feel even an iota of sympathy for those people, do try and read this article below :
‘Proud’ aunt seeks Kasab's body "Even if he did something wrong, I'm proud he taught enemy a lesson in their own country"
THIS, folks, is an everyday Pakistani for you .. insanely proud that one of their own killed so many of us.https://t.co/khbFJS558S
If you STILL feel sorry for them, then I have a small exercise to help you get over it:
Step 1 : Take a deep breath.
Step 2 : Hold it for 26mins 11secs!
So what happens now, you ask?
Well for one, Sindh gets worried.
Why?
Because with India withholding water, Paaki Punjab will ensure that Sindh dries out first! There already were some reports of protests in Sindh about this some days back!

Mind you, even in the best of the times, Paaki Punjab has been stealing waters from Sindh. And now when the going gets tough, it is only fair to assume the ‘tough’ Punjabis will only hoard more of Sindh’s waters!
Which brings me back to the visuals of Pak Army mobilization that I talked about earlier in this thread. Did you notice that almost ALL such videos are about their mobilization in Punjab, and almost NONE in Sindh?
Interesting, no?
Just as the Brown Panted Ones gave up East Pakistan for the sake of West Pakistan in 1971, if they give up Sindh for the sake of Punjab in the next round (whenever that happens), I won’t be surprised at all!
After All, Sindh, Balochistan and KPK are all meant to serve Punjab!
What about China, where Indus and Sutlej and Brahmaputra originate, you ask? Well, firstly there is no water sharing agreement existing between India and China. Secondly, bulk of the inflows into these rivers happen on INDIAN side of the Himalayan watershed.
And lastly, even if China decides to temporarily ‘regulate’ flows into the Indus and the Sutlej, they would, in effect, be cutting off Pakistan’s water because India can just withhold outflows into Pakistan for that much longer!
Pakistan is well & truly fcuked, I’d say. Which also brings us to the possibility of a potentially bombastic/desperate measure from their Govt. They already tried the UN route & got shown their true aukaat earlier today as per this report :
Further, they have been told to ratchet down their nuclear sabre rattling that goes off the moment any hint of Indian retaliation to Pakistani terror attacks comes by. Life for them gets more and more interesting each passing minute!
What India has done is that they have turned the threats of Paaki nuclear blackmail on their head, by mobilizing the population and the administration into doing Civil Defence Drills! Not only are these necessary for a potential nuclear flare-up, but they are also equally an exercise in signalling to the world at large that this time is not like the last so many times. The Indian narrative/info warfare this time has been top-notch, I’d say.
Unfortunately, for the Brown Panted Ones, who are the true rulers of Pak, (regardless of Shehbaz Sharif prancing around as if he is the actual PM!), the only way out is to either accept defeat which their egos will never permit.
Or to strike India, which only brings more pain!
Of course, the threat of an Indian military strike still remains.
Why do I say this? Well, because of the extremely strong actions thus far and the extremely harshly worded statements from the Prime Minister, Raksha Mantri and Home Minister.

The Brown Panted Ones have been testing India’s limits of tolerance since 14 Aug 1947 itself. It is only now that India is returning the favour, and that too with added interest. On a side note, here is why they are called Brown Panted Ones!
Btw, talking about 'War', this is what their erstwhile Brown Panted Chief had to say about their famed Brown Panted Army! Just watch this video from the 3-minute mark. This was their CHIEF speaking! pic.twitter.com/XmFRcQOrF0
One other way out for them, possibly, is an internal coup within the Pakistan Army, something similar to the one that happened after their humiliation in 1965 wherein the self-styled Field Marshal Ayub Khan was forced out by Yahya Khan.
I am sure that atleast one section amongst the Brown Panted Ones might consider this to be possible way out, i.e., offering to remove Asim Munir by (rightly) assigning all blame for the current fiasco to him.
By now we all know what happened. Tourists were asked their religion & those who were adherents of the 'wrong' faith were killed without second thoughts by those who follow the 'correct' deen. The first thought that came to my mind upon hearing this was the speech by Asim Munir. pic.twitter.com/SiUMKoTjEG
But even if .. and that is still a BIG IF .. that happens, will some such thing be acceptable to India?
Will the IWT be restored by India?
Will the three western rivers flow unimpeded as before?
Well, the short answer to all these questions is a BIG NO!
The Brown Panted Ones have overplayed their hand this time, and given a golden opportunity to India to do the unthinkable. A line has been crossed, that will never be reverted to now. The rules of the game have been changed for good.
The Indus Water Treaty, as it existed for past 65 yrs, is well and truly dead.
If the Paakis have any sense, they will sit down to renegotiate. Come to think of it, they don’t have a choice in this matter. Either they renegotiate a new, more balanced treaty, or they lose it all!
It is a Lose-Lose situation for them.
The only choice they have is to decide HOW MUCH are they willing to lose.
And knowing them, they will lose much more by being obstinate instead of pragmatic. It is their true nature, just like it is the nature of a scorpion to sting.
To be honest, I do not feel bad for them at all. After all, they are a country that teaches their six-year olds this 👇
If you think Munir was out of his mind in talking this trash against Hindus, then I have a white coloured building in Agra to sell to you! Don't believe me? Well, here is what a top Indian diplomat came to hear from a six-year old girl in Pakistan.https://t.co/xU0lZBljF0
Then these very six year olds grow up and ask the religion of innocent Indians and kill all who call themselves Hindus.
There is only one solution to this disease called Pakistan that has been festering on our lands since long. The sooner it is taken care of, the better it is.
31/31 I'll just leave this photo of a bumper sticker on a car somewhere in Delhi to this thread. pic.twitter.com/uGQ70w0xjQ
Yes, there WILL be pain in the short term, but for sake of long term peace, it should be acceptable.
With this, I conclude this chain of thoughts. Hope you found it interesting. I shall just leave 3 prior threads on the Indus Water Treaty since it is so much in news currently.
In light of this statement on the issue of Ravi river waters flowing untapped into Pakistan by @capt_amarinder, replugging an old thread chronicling my own thoughts on the same.https://t.co/szYxuIPZRw
