On the Visit of Afghan Foreign Minister to India and some Related Issues

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! 

Image

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.

Image

However, they were still not done patting themselves on their backs when the bleddy Indians outed their FANTASTIC trick!

Image

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!

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!

Image

 

Image

Btw, this is the same Donald Ji who is now their latest Baap!

Image

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!

Image

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!

Image

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!

Rattled, Bhikharistan also swiftly denied any ‘offer’ to US to build Pasni Port! In really beautiful English, they said that it was only an ‘exploratory’ conversation, despite reports of Brown Panted Chief himself proposing it thru his ‘advisors’! (Link: https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2025/10/06/purely-exploratory-pakistan-denies-reports-it-proposed-us-to-build-pasni-port/)

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’!

Image

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 👇

Image

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!

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!

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!

Image
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.

Image

And this is what I wrote on the issue of ‘Strategic Depth’ about a decade ago.

It still holds true.

It has always held true.

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!

Image

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!

Image

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.

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!

Image

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.’

(Btw, I think the figure of 1000 would have already been crossed, thanks to the Afghans on the Durand Line)

In the end, I’ll just leave this tweet exploring the stark contrasts in PoK and the TRULY AZAD Kashmir.

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.

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter!

:FIN:

On the Cessation of Military Operations Against Pakistan as part of Op Sindoor on 10 May 2025

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.

2014: Pak Rangers killed 5 civilians in Arnia. BSF blasted the hell out of them in retaliation, shooting 10,000+ mortar rounds in 5 days. (Check This Report : India fighting small-scale war with Pakistan: DG Rangers Punjab)

2016: Uri Attack. Surgical Strikes carried out.

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!

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.

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:

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!

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!

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!

Image
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!

Image

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!

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’!

Image

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!

Image

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.

Image

Image

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!

Image

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!

Image

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!!

Image

Meanwhile, India went ahead and gave out satellite imagery of Pakistani targets destroyed in the less than 72 hours of engagements!

Image

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 👇😂

Image

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!

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.

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!

But then, Pakistan does have the World’s Best Air Force .. a fact endorsed not by Pakistani photoshop experts but sakshaat Telegraph Ji!

Image

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!

With this I conclude this chain of thoughts.

Hope it made some sense to you. If not, well so be it!

All I’ll say in the end is that this is a time to rejoice, not bemoan the ceasefire.

And then there is this epic news report!

Image

Cheers folks, and JAI HIND!
