INDO-PAK WARS.

It was May 1999 when an Indian army patrol led by Lt. Saurabh Kalia walking along LOC in Kargil went missing that raised eyebrows at the headquarters. What came back were badly mutilated bodies of our brave soldiers. This incident started the fourth war between India and Pakistan; The Kargil war or Operation Vijay, which started from May 3rd and ended on July 26th. Yes, this was the fourth time that a war was thrust upon the Indian subcontinent. The war continued for 2 months prior to Pakistan's defeat. 527 Indian soldiers were martyred, breaking the hearts of numerous people and leaving behind hundreds of families in grief. Many soldiers had been awarded with the Paramvir Chakra for their brave and courageous act.

India had to fight to maintain its territorial integrity. Though in general wars are not desirable, but one can  flip the pages of history and more importantly in the Indian context, the wars had been fought against invaders, blunderers and enemies of the state.
        Be it 1947 when the Pakistanis sent thousands of lashkars into India to capture Kashmir or 1965 when Pakistanis launched operation Gibraltar or 1971 when Pakistanis yet again tasted defeat by Indian defense forces. The Indian Defense Forces have planted fear in the hearts of many Pakistani army soldiers. It would be astonishing for the whole world if, after nonstop defeats, they dare to invade our motherland again...only to be annihilated once more.

FYI:
1947 INDO-PAK WAR: It was the first of four wars between India and Pakistan over the state of Kashmir. (22nd October 1947 to 5th January1948)

1965 INDO-PAK WAR: The second dispute that began on account of operation Gibraltar launched by the Pak army which was devised to infiltrate their forces into Indian land to capture Kashmir. (5th August to 23rd September)

1971 INDO-PAK WAR: The third war or the Bangladesh liberation war commenced between east and west Pakistan which lasted for 13 days until Pakistan surrendered, following the birth of a new nation- Bangladesh. (3rd December to 16th December)

Biased Bollywood

There was widespread pretentiousness showcased by numerous actors of Bollywood namely Swara Bhasker  (wife of Fahad Ahmad), Alia Bhatt (daughter of Mahesh bhatt who's converted to Islam), Richa Chadda (wife of Ali Fazal) , Kareena Kapoor Khan , Sonakshi Sinha, fiancé of (Zaheer Iqbal)  on the ongoing Israel-Palestinian war. They acted as fervent advocates by putting stories of "all eyes on Rafah" on their social media handles. But it hurts my heart to see that no-one is courageous enough, except a few to put a single message on the Reasi incident that took place in Jammu and Kashmir on 9th June,2024.  Everyone claims to be a sympathizer only towards the killing of innocents but were the pilgrims who were in the bus not innocent? Neither did these personalities (who have millions of followers) raise their voices on Oct 7th, 2023, when Hamas invaded the territory of Israel and raped and slaughtered thousands of innocent women and infants. If all of them are secular, t...

Stressing out?

Adolescence is such a crucial phase of life where you experience new things, that transforms you into a more mature person. So here, in the next few paragraphs I will very "maturely" explain fellow adolescents on how to be content.  The dynamics involved at this stage of life are too much to handle. You are due with 10 assignments every other day, concurrent exams, relationship problems, irritation due to small things AND SO MUCH MORE.  Just yesterday I was reading a news where a 12-year-old kid suffered a heart attack. Should this period really be so stressful? is a question that popped up in my mind. Well, the question is ambiguous. Some would say if not work now, then when; others would say enjoy the innocence right now deal with the problems later. I say that we do need to work hard today to have an easier life tomorrow. But it is not worth losing our mental and physical wellbeing in the process. There's already too much competition in the world, why don't we focu...

Empowered on Paper, Invisible at Home: The Hypocrisy of Everyday Feminism

I never thought I would be writing a blog on such a "normal" topic but conversations with my family and friends have compelled me to write this blog. In recent years "women empowerment" has been prominent in almost every field of study and work but are women really empowered? I was playing with the kids in my neighborhood when I heard one of the old aunties say "meri bahu ka kaam he kya hota hai" (what work does my daughter in law anyway have?) Her "bahu" is a working mother of two kids.  My "feminism" (that many other people exaggerate with platitudes) couldn't be fine with it, so I went to confront the aunty.  "But aunty, I see her making breakfast for the kids and husband, attend to calls, make tea for you in the evening"(and with that, pretend to not care about everyday taunts and tantrums). Aunty goes "Well that's just how it is, am I not right?" ABSOLUTELY NOT, I say. I ask her, "then what work do ...
