Public opinion is highly polarized, reflecting tensions between nationalistic support for the Indian military and criticism of both the Indian and Pakistani governments. Many express frustration over media sensationalism, fear of military escalation, and concerns about diplomatic and security measures. Some comments show skepticism towards both nations' narratives regarding accountability, and there are calls for peace amidst warnings of severe geopolitical consequences, such as the water rights dispute. Humor and sarcasm, especially historical reference ‘tea’, are present but do little to offset the overall serious and anxious tone.

Easier to blame and distract their public from asking deep rooted questions. Kashmir is burning and it’s hurting them and the entire region’s peace. But Indians are not ready to accept or introspect.

what is this fat shit american on about? India wouldn’t dare to fire missiles in the first place. Even if they did, Pakistan wouldn’t ever need to utilise or threaten India with nukes. They have their own protocols to deal with Indias bs

Well their elections are near, what do you expect.

I doubt the US will ever fight a war on behalf of India, especially against Pakistan (maybe China though), but people like Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance and Elon Musk have connections with India and perhaps even their intelligence agencies. "America First" is a copy of Modi's policy. It's quite clear how much influence the Indians have on the current US administration. Pakistan needs to up it's game.

Euphoric_Chair14

I think Modi is about to do some adventure, 
Reason:
BJPs approval rating is going down, 

Modi’s meetings in GCC (UAE and KSA) and its recent step to keep US happy with Tariffs on Chinese steel scrap kinda points to the direction that he's softening key Pakistani leverage holders. These countries has enough leverage over us (debt and differed payment arrangement of oils) to keep us from responding back if India tries something.

For them Muslims equals Pakistan. Lets be real some Indian Muslims can be weirdly radical misusing Islam to justify their terrorist activities. But that doesn\`t mean they are Pakistanis, but these goons can\`t draw a distinguishing line.

You know it's a false flag operation because the Indian media started blaming Pakistan just as the attack happened. The attackers haven't been apprehended, no investigation has begun yet Pakistan is to blame.

Lashkar E Taliba, Pakistan based terrorist group already took credit for the attack.

Mainly even though, your government MIGHT have not helped or organised this attack they certainly create a religious divide and seperatist agenda and polarise your citizens to be this violent, your government somehow has to learn how to control its citizens.

utkarsh954

Here’s the narrative in India that even dispassionate people agree to. I’m sharing just in case to educate what the sentiment is on this side of the border and hope to learn if anything is significantly astray from reality, given soon there will be major escalations between the two countries.

1. Pakistan is military governed state with government having no power (Evidence : Lack of stable governance and either PMs come from army or are discredited/jailed/killed)
2. It’s in the interest of Pak army (not Pak citizenry) to keep ‘engagement’ on with India so they justify their need to constantly be in power and fulfill their financial or political interest
3. Events like these attacks often happen when foreign dignitaries visiting to give the illusion that everything is not well in Kashmir (it might not be all well in all parts but there are significant areas of Kashmir where there’s been no violence as evidenced by very high tourism post Covid n 370 abrogation) and get international attention. This specific attack was more of a desperate attempt to reinvigorate old wounds in the valley.
4. Indian army is well equipped to manage existing known skirmishes like shelling, border firing in patrolls, raids in high risk areas, protecting high value assets with the assumption that militant or PoK army attacks don’t target innocent tourists as it’s of limited value to both.
5. Given not only innocent citizens were killed but only the men with women asked to deliver the ‘message to Modi’ plus the instigating of communal tensions in a terrorist attack - the entire operation is backed by well formed narratives from Pak side. Even the operation being so clean from entry, execution to exit in such a heavily militarized state is indication of strategically planned attack hinting towards very good financial and military support. This also loosely aligns with Pak finance support from IMF released in 2023-24 and possible weapons procurement from Taliban side after US troop departure. While not conclusive evidence, the pieces fit together very clearly that it’s backed by Pak army/ISI
6. Ppl either are ignorant or unsure of India’s involvement in Pak issues such as Baloch insurgency and others but it doesn’t justify the attack on civilians across all states including JnK
7. Cost of human life in India has declined in recent years, democracy has regressed, our internal problems including our social fabric have increased multifold BUT this was not internal. Indians are accustomed to which types of lies and injustice the system can create for political gain but this was a terrorist attack. 
8. In the past diplomacy has failed, international pressure has failed, economic suppression has failed, ignoring to the point of isolation has failed so the only option left is military action against the army/ISI/LeT vanguards that caused this. The sentiment is we don’t know when retaliatory action will be, how it’ll turn out but the idea is for it be swift, just and precise. No one wants all out war with harm to civilian life but there would be some kinetic action in future.

Because leader of terror groups are openly walking in Pak and have associations with various political gangs. India’s most fugitive like Dawkod has been in Pak and family is married into other well known family.

The resistant front linked to Lashkar e Taiba took responsibility for the attack. This group is supported by Lashkar e Taiba whose leader-terrorist Hafiz Saeed is living in Pakistan. India has robust evidence.

Foreign Ministry has today itself provided all the foreign ambassadors and diplomats with evident proofs showing sure shot Pakistan involvement, apart from this, LeT has accepted the responsibility of this heinous act, now what you want, you f bastards and these a**hole comment makers deny the fact!!!

The aren't blaming without any proof 
The men, all three Pakistanis, are Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah and Abu Talha, officials said. They had code names -- Moosa, Yunus and Asif -- and were involved in terror related incidents in Poonch.

No-Seaworthiness381

Politics man. It could be it could be not.   
Best way to avoid the conversation that its their fault is to put the blame on others.

Investigation will give true proof or even that might be not true. Give this one a year before having a good conclusion

Virtual_Technology_9

So they have got proof now. Two were locals from India and all other terrorists from Pakistan.

Fickle-End1807

Lol the amount of Hinduphobia in this thread is outstanding... there is absolutely no condemnation from you guys just because the victims were singled out as they were Hindus and here you fucks are comparing it with the baloch terror attack.

Other than the Indus Valley treaty devision, others are mostly routine. Was expecting a tougher response from India including suspension of medical visas. 

vikas_g

As an Indian, more than the measures taken here, we want to understand why there was such a lapse in security in a territory that's been known to harbour extremist elements for decades. The Home Minister came out literally a couple of weeks ago and said that extremist elements have been minimised in the region.

Make no mistake, this was a failure on India's part to secure the region. Whether the Kashmiris are protecting the sleeper cells or hold anti-India sentiment is secondary. The Indian Defence and intelligence mechanism has utterly failed the people of India here.

The wrong thing to do is to play into Pakistan's hands and order some nonsensical military action against some random terrorist unit and call it a win.

The Kashmir situation has to be re-evaluated. It's a region that's vital for Indian defense, but it is known that a vast majority of Kashmiris want independence and autonomy, something that was removed with the abrogation of Article 370. The defense in that area has to be re-fortified and the elements within the local population that are aiding and abetting extremist elements have to be handled accordingly, whether that's re-education or penalization, it's not acceptable to have them support terrorist cells to attack like this. But this attack, and the fact that the tourism industry in Kashmir is going to take a nosedive is not a good sign for Kashmir's economy, which was already suffering for decades prior.

The move to step away from the Indus water treaty is not as strict as it's, in my opinion. While the move to say India will no longer honour the treaty is a good move, what the follow-up will be is the 64 thousand-dollar question. It will take significant funding and efforts to build any dams across the rivers to curtail the flow of water, and of course will take many years.

Any attempt at renegotiation of the IWT is going to make the current government look weak. Indians most definitely do not want to come to the negotiating table right now.

KinTharEl

&gt;The Indus Water Treaty: a decades-old water-sharing agreement between the two countries, has been suspended. India has declared it is no longer bound by the treaty.

Dog and Pony Show just to make the Indian public happy. India does not has the dams nor canals to divert the water without flooding its own side. Also the Indians haven't said they will be diverting or reducing the intake of water. So serious commentators, please ignore this, just pure dog and pony show for the local populace. 

&gt;The Wagah-Attari border: a key land crossing between India and Pakistan, has been closed with immediate effect, halting all movement across it.

There is barely any crossing or any trade, does not affect either country at all. 

&gt;All SAARC visas issued to Pakistani nationals have been cancelled. They have been asked to leave India by May 1.

Does not matter

&gt;Three Pakistani military attachés posted in the High Commission in Delhi have been declared persona non grata and asked to leave the country.  
India is also withdrawing its own military attachés-three in number-along with five support staff from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. Their families will also return to India.  
\*Diplomatic staff strength at both High Commissions has been reduced. Pakistan's mission in Delhi will now have 30 members instead of 55, and the Indian mission in Islamabad will match the same number.

I mean, i still hope there is enough presence of military officers on both sides to ensure communication lines stay open. In the past, these hot lines and side convos have avoided war. 

&gt;Defence minister Rajnath Singh vowed 'loud &amp; clear' response to the attack.

Sorry to say, there is not much India can do. India tried in Feb 2019, we all know what happened. India has tried everything diplomatically or economically in the past, i can't see anything new India can try that it hasn't already. 

Overall, i hope both countries end the proxy war against each other. Indians back the BLA and other terrorist entities inside Pakistan, and Pakistan does the same.

notorious_eagle1

It would seem India is placing the responsibility of the terror attack squarely on Pakistan, presumably as sponsors to terrorism in Kashmir.

So going by that logic India isn't an unsafe country for anyone as some of them would want to potray. All the upper castes do not want to harass the lower castes and only a few individuals doing that shouldn't put the entire country to a blemish.

If the attack wasn't even about religion. Then I fail to understand the reason behind such an attack. Was it because someone had taken another's money. Ok so it wasnt about religion despite the victims themselves saying it was about religion and notwithstanding that gthe majority of the victims were non Muslims. So I guess it was about unicorns. These ppl attacked them becoz some unicorn said so.

If something happens for once its understandable as nkt being a representative. But something happening multiple times in multiple countries maybe warrants a particular sort of attention to taht fact. The ideological consistency of it is perhaps testimonial to it. And not scritinizing it means some sort of shieldong the aggresors of this violemt attacks.

Otherwise if the motives wasnt religion then the motive of domestic violence aint misogyny and the motobve of caste based violence isnt prejudices.
