Public sentiment is highly polarized regarding the tensions between India and Pakistan, with a strong division in perspectives about government actions and military responses. There is overwhelming criticism of the Indian government's handling of the situation, particularly targeting Modi for perceived inaction and failures. At the same time, many commenters express anger towards Pakistan, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism while simultaneously questioning the credibility of government narratives and advocating for military action. The discourse is heavily laden with mistrust towards authorities from both sides, fear of escalating violence, and a complex understanding of the geopolitical implications.

Pakistanis have been labelled as terrorists because of the policies of our Generals such as Zia ul Haq and Hamid Gul. Our mil establishment actively finaced or used religious radicalism for their proxy wars both within and outside pakistan.  
  
How do we feel about it? It fkng sucks, that we have to reap the consquences of faujis whom we never elected to be our representatives, whose whole job was to protect us but they instead created these frankensteins.

most people think rogue state entities are behind it and for good reasons.

Aren’t terrorists just someone you don’t like? From the perspective of the Zionist media, Ukrainian: freedom fighter, Palestine: terrorist, Syria HTS: terrorist, but going through a review, wait for update…

Terrorists anywhere are terrorists everywhere. 


Your hamas cosplay comment is misplaced here,

alumniquasi

Pakistan is the muslim country on earth where Muslims bomb other Muslims.

May Allah help

Aman_the_Timely_Boat

Hamas and the Pakistani Taliban are not terrorists because they fought against Americans for us and the same applies for ISIS.

Terrorist is only a label given by others to our political groups.

If you're talking about explosions and kidnapping then of course it sucks and no one supports the killing of innocent civilians.

The military however kills just as much these days. We need to speak out against them.

Fun_Technology_204

the Pakistani people at least majority of them sympathize with terrorists. We were told as a kid that Osama bin laden is a hero, pakistani talibans are good talibans and other things like that. Whenever someone kills someone because of blame of blasphemy , the people backs the killer instead of victim

Isis alqaeda are not muslims and people who support them are idiots. Isis was created by cia. Taliban are kind of similar to hamas. They were people who fought against americans in their country

CantBeAsked81

Hate them. Look up APS attack. It's a day burnt into minds of this generation and our parent's. Everyone remembers that day. There are multiple terrorist groups within Pakistan and they are involved in suicide bombing and other activities across pakistan. It's terrible. We are victims of terrorism as well. Arming terrorists is part of the reason why our country is a shit show.

Horror_Preference208

Bla, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Both Talibans, Hezbos, etc all Rot and terror groups. Next question

Legitimate_Hunt_5802

The problem is that the terror attacks inside Pakistan also originate from inside pakistan. We fuc**d up big time creating the taliban for USA. Post 9/11 we need to realize that we cannot support these kinds of activities. Although we dont any more but still these guys were spawned by ourselves. Once we get rid of such non state actors, only then we can raise the case against india supporting these terrorist entities.

lockerno177

Yes, yesterday I saw a post on their subreddit that baluchistan declared independence using fake letter. 

One thing I now realize was, during war Indian media showed what Indians wanted to see but forget to tell this is real world not some bollywood movie.

tab8612

So true. Our govt fails to highlight Indian involvement and react at diplomatic and media level. Even attacks on Sri Lankan cricket team and our air bases &amp; police lines were done by India with zero reaction from our govt.

People are hypocritical. If Trump wasn't a white dude in America and if he was president of another country, America would be calling him everything under the sun but he gets a pass because he is American. The same pass Israel is getting because Israeli people aren't Muslims. 

  
Because by the actual definition of the word a lot of things are "terrorism" but are seen as  lawful and just actions because it lines up with peoples own twisted views. Meanwhile terrorism is thrown around to create hatred for their enemies and unfortunately  for us  Pakistani people and Muslim people aren't very well liked so that often ends up being us.

India is guilty of all the crimes they inflict on others including terrorism.

You have to address the root issues of the conflict (obviously much harder than it sounds)

Generational conflicts don’t go away with more bombs, especially with nuclear armed belligerents

ttown2011

honestly this question just highlights how clueless indians are about the state of affairs in pakistan. civil unrest has been very significant the past few years and people decry the pak army's brutal crackdown on dissidents. They've been fighting with separatist movements in every province.


How should India respond? Start by recognizing that you're facing a headless chicken


The biggest mistake you can do is give pakistan a unifying enemy! This recent escalation of tensions only helped the corrupt pakistani military boost morale during a time when it's people were rallying against it.

uptokesforall

By ending the military occupation of Kashmir, sitting down at a table with local Kashmiri representatives and the Pakistanis, negotiating in good faith, and solving the Kashmir issue/dispute/whatever you wanna call it, once and for all.

Consider this: 

If Pakistan ceased to exist tomorrow, India would still be facing terror attacks in Kashmir. 

The reality is that the local Kashmiris do not want to be part of India and will continue to resist, by force if need be. Pakistan at this point only offers minimal support and mostly lip service, by now the Kashmiri insurgency is an entirely home-grown phenomenon. If there was no Pakistan, some other nation (perhaps China, perhaps Afghanistan, maybe even Iran) would simply fill that role. And of course, the brutality of the Indian occupation only adds further fuel to the fire.

India is trying to solve a political problem with a military solution. It may work in the short term but it will fail in the long term - look no further than India's own history of being under British colonial rule and occupation.

Automatic-Junket-621

For one thing, all the vitriol pointed towards Pakistan (as a country) and Pakistani’s (as citizens of said country) is definitely not helping form any response that would decrease tensions and ensure peace for generations.

Your question seems to indicate you want to increase tensions too - ‘something stronger, more permanent’. 

I am not a master of how to stop terrorism, but usually killing of more of the other country’s citizens and/or taking over permanently a bit of their land you’re quarrelling over will actually increase the number of said terrorists you want to combat.

TranslatorVarious857

Indian military actions only benefit the military in Pakistan, which has been struggling with legitimacy due to Imran Khan. If anything India should be exploiting the political situation. 

gquax

There's no evidence of Pakistan's involvement in terrorism in Pakistan. Pakistan herself has suffered badly from menace of terrorism and lost lives of more than 90000 Pakistanis to terrorism. However, there's plenty of evidence that India supports separatist organisations including BLA and sponsors terrorists in Balochistan. BLA itself claims that they're supported by India in their so called movement for a separate country. Recently, BLA killed innocent Punjabis without any reason. Indian agent Kulboshan Jadav was arrested from Balochistan for his involvement in terrorist attacks. It's better for India to stop supporting terrorists and give peace a chance to flourish in the region.

Waste_Economics_2158

Why do people talk like this? What do you want Gaza 2.0?  Maybe they should respond by allowing a referendum so people can vote for their autonomy?  But modern nation states reject that notion because once they do that it’s a domino effect, people don’t want to be oppressed.

I seriously doubt your hypothesis. Missiles going in on the airbase is one thing, but we sent in missiles straight into terrorist’s homes. Won’t dare to do it again. 

geodude84

This time, the attack will likely come from either Nepal or Bangladesh, and it'll hit a major city because Pakistan is assuming that it has American blessing. But at the same time, I am sure that there'll be very little pressure on India given Trump has already used up all his goodwill and leverage on the trade issue and Saudi Arabia never had enough leverage to deter India, what would be a scarier possibility would be China heating up the border instead.

nergal007

Slightly off topic but I'm questioning what Suadi is gaining by partnering with Pak? Could it be that they want another nuclear state by their side as USA slips down the list of dependable friends?

SabAccountBanKarDiye

It will be a huge blunder from Pak if it happens soon. They have already let their 'Trump' card exposed and I don't think that India will feel any major 'Trump' effect this time. Muneer will have to look for more viable option to play in the backdrop of the skirmish. Recently India has sent a message to US that they would reduce the import of Russia Oil only if sanctions are lifted from Venezuelan and Iranian Oil (Source - Global Eye News on X). So, it won't be easy for Pak to get Trump along in it anytime soon.

Playful_Umpire_8066

Completely agree with your opinion 
But I feel this time the stakes are too high for Pakistan and it's adversaries

Outrageous_Gas6684

Because now he is busy dealing with America. The biggest negotiating point of pakistan is not that they will go nuclear. It is that they will turn into Iran. 
While dealing with Saudi and America is on, pakistan is not in a corner. He has to play ball.

He can not send his agents across the border while dealing with other countries.

He equated pakistan to a dump truck, and now that truck is carrying valuable payload. He can not risk jeopardising that for the sake of irritating india. 
There is no upside for the next attack.

Equivalent-Fee-5897

I agree with everything you wrote. But,  
  
Did you expect the destruction of terrorist airbases at no cost at all without SEAD ? And if so, do you genuinely believe they would not have evacuated said terrorist sites with the assistance of pakistan military within minutes ?

Rare_Turnover_420

Wait you think India caved under pressure for a ceasefire? I thought it was Pakistan that reached out to India for a ceasefire? There was also widely reported tension between India and the US because the Indian government rejected Trump's suggestion that he pressured them into a ceasefire. Do you feel the Indian government was lying about this and that it got pressured into a ceasefire with Pakistan?

G20DoesPlenty

Right now I think Pakistan will focus more on bringing in other countries into their defence setup, especially strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia and maybe even USA. That will give them more backing and confidence for such moves.

LibranduMan

US knows how to use pak army and saudi money against India better than anyone else in the world

Pure_Garlic_7454

I agree with your point but I don't think we didn't cause enough of a strategic deterrent. From Uri to Balakot and recently Pahalgam we have been raising the bar with our responses... And the amount of damage our missiles did in Op Sindoor was just too much. The sat pics literally reveal how insane it was for them alone. 

So yeah I do agree that pak will do what it does again and India can be diplomatically isolated but again we have China under who Pak pays it's allegiance too and china doesn't want the conflict so let's see

SeventyCents

I agree with the point of Indian Govt caving in

I wish that we had conducted blitzkrieg style Op and destroyed pakistani military capabilities to the max extent

If another attack happens we just need to pump in shit load of weapons and money through Afghan taliban into sindh Balochistan NWFP

Afghanistan is untouchable for anyone now its time for us to play american style ugly geopolitics (Petreaus and Sharra meeting) 

We have to be the most friendly nation of afghanistan close ties with taliban

If we do that it will be a great counter to whatever pakistan tries...
