A Spectacle Of Strikes: South Asia’s Slow-Motion Detonation – OpEd
Friday, 9 May 2025 () Once upon a time, not too long ago, yet rapidly fading into obsolescence, India and Pakistan performed the ritual of hostility with the precision of dancers trained to never quite collide. Incendiary speeches? Yes. Troop movements? Certainly. Artillery exchanges and cross-border sabre-rattling? Of course. But beneath the fury:...
In a shocking turn of events, reports indicate that Turkey has supplied Pakistan with advanced AsisGuard drones, which were reportedly used in attacks along the Indian border. These drone strikes mark a new chapter in the escalating India-Pakistan conflict. As tensions flare, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s support for Pakistan raises significant geopolitical questions. With India on high alert and military responses intensifying, the situation on the ground grows ever more precarious. Watch as this military technology shift and international involvement could potentially reshape the dynamics of South Asia’s most volatile region.

Despite Moscow brimming with global dignitaries for the Victory Day events, Russian President Vladimir Putin held only an informal meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The absence of a formal bilateral engagement raised eyebrows amid the grand celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War. At a state dinner for foreign delegations, Putin gave a commemorative speech, while continued informal talks between the two leaders hinted at deep, strategic dialogues away from the spotlight. The low-key engagement stands out amid a highly symbolic diplomatic setting.

The bloodbath in Pahalgam is not an isolated tragedy—it is the latest chapter in a long history of violence against Hindu terror victims. Twenty-six innocent lives, mostly tourists, were killed not for profit or politics—but simply for being Hindu and Indian.
The Hindu terror victims of Pahalgam now join the forgotten exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from 1990, the persecuted minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the silenced families across South Asia. Under Prime Minister Modi, India is no longer passive—abrogation of Article 370, Balakot strikes, and upcoming decisive actions mark a new era.
This episode examines how India is preparing to respond, why the world looks away, and what it means for the future of Hindu terror victims worldwide. The time for silence is over.
