 Indian Nationalism, Hindutva and the Bomb https://www.europe-solidaire.org/spip.php?article10225  Sukla Sen: 2003.  

the supreme tragedy of the bomb is that it will not be destroyed by counter-bombs even as violence cannot be by counter-violence. Mankind has to get out of violence only through non-violence. Hatred can be overcome only by love.- M K Gandhi 

11th May 1998 was the day the Government of India,... , carried out, as per its official declaration, three nuclear explosions .... Just after a fortnight the neighbouring Pakistan, ... retaliated with a series of six explosions...

The reactions... a rather complex and problematic relationship between Indian nationalism - or its changing profile, and the politics of Hindutva - which, not too long ago, appeared to belong only to the lunatic fringe.

This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkNE  The Coup is by the Bro-ligarchy (Tech Oligachy) | Carole Cadwalladr | TED Data Rights are Human Rights  
“We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she decries the rise of the “broligarchy” — the powerful tech executives who are using their global digital platforms to amass unprecedented geopolitical power, dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world. Her rallying cry: resist data harvesting and mass surveillance, and support others in a groundswell of digital disobedience. “You have more power than you think,” she says. (Recorded at TED2025 on April 8, 2025)

The attack has brought the politics of gender in the conflict to centre stage. Women are being used instrumentally while pushing the larger narrative of payback.

However, amidst the din, women survivors of the tragedy spoke their minds. Some questioned the massive security lapse that had resulted in the attack. Several others emphasised how Kashmiris around the spot became the first responders, taking them to safety when no official help was on hand.

While demanding justice, Himanshi Narwal appealed for peace and spoke against hate-mongering against Muslims and Kashmiris. Shortly after, she found herself at the receiving end of vile trolling.

The woman who had been held up as the ideal wife and projected as the poster girl of the grief caused by the terror attack was dragged down from the pedestal and her character was besmirched. But why this drastic shift in script? It is because Narwal violated the template of the grieving wife. She was expected to be helpless and lose hope. Her wails would then activate the drums of war. However, her call for peace was an act of defiance and a rebellion against the politics of hate.

Why did the terrorists spare the women in the first place? They were not acting chivalrous, not by any measure. They aimed to use women as bearers of their message to the Indian government.

Women are being used as instruments of politics. The attackers aimed to use women to spread their message of terror. Hatemongers were angered when Narwal refused to participate in their campaign against Muslims and Kashmiris in India.

Both sides aim to portray women as the perfect victims – helpless and voiceless, devoid of agency. Both sides are motivated by hate-filtered narratives in which the lives of these grieving women are nothing but an instrument for their ends.

 Why India avenged Pahalgam by striking LeT, Jaish centres in Pakistan Punjab  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xKx-szaA3E:  Christine Fair The Tribune

Nothing is going to strategically change. India doesn't have the means of imposing upon Pakistan a defeat that would make that would make Pakistan change its behavior.  so what I anticipate is going to happen is that this crisis is going to have an
off-ramp ,  there's going to be a crisis the Pakistanis are going to respond because the target by hitting the Punjab which is also ground zero for the Pakistan army you have pretty much guaranteed a Pakistani response of some sort

so when this crisis does retaliate there's going to be some stasis in the violence in Kashmir for some time just as we had saw just we saw this post pulwama but people forget that the Pakistan army is an insurgent organization the Pakistan army's aim is not to defeat India.   it can't defeat India the way you show how an insurgent organization demonstrates that it hasn't been  defeated.  

by acting again so after this crisis , I thoroughly anticipate that after a few years of calm there's going to be another terrorist attack in Kashmir . I think India is left in this very ignominious position of having to mow the lawn every so many years in
hopes that with each attack,  India can show more resolve more technological sophistication more willingness to attack targets that people like me thought were previously off limits but I don't think that these are going to be strategic game changers unfortunately

PM Narendra Modi is “Besharam”, “Darpok” and “Must Apologise” to India for Pahalgam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q9Mx3zdsZs  PM Narendra Modi is “Besharam”, “Darpok” and “Must Apologise” to India for Pahalgam: Satya Pal Malik The Wire Satya Pal Malik, the last Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, has said that Prime Minister Modi is “besharam” (shameless), “darpok” (cowardly) and “must apologize” to the country for permitting Pahalgam to happen. Mr. Malik was also outspokenly critical of Mr. Modi’s failure to attend the all-party meeting or to praise the Kashmiri people for their emotional and powerful response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack in his Mann Ki Baat. Mr. Malik said the failure to attend the all-party meeting was a sign of “arrogance” whilst he suggested that Mr. Modi did not praise the Kashmiri response because he benefits politically from permitting a Hindu-Muslim divide to continue in the country. SM said that serious intelligence failure and security lapses lay behind the Pahalgam attack
