We had them by the neck, and we shouldn’t have let go so easily. At the very least, the ceasefire should’ve come with conditions: handing over the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack and sharing intel on active operatives in Kashmir.
Will Pakistan stop harming us after this? No. If anything, they’ve now seen the gap between our strength and their vulnerability. From this point on, they’ll increase military spending to upgrade their air defenses and strike capabilities.
Their singular obsession remains unchanged: to bleed India through a thousand cuts. They won’t stop. Sooner or later, we’ll be forced to take decisive, comprehensive action. And this was the perfect moment.
That said, this conflict is undeniably a major win for India. We’ve exposed and humiliated them. But humiliation means little to a country that lacks self-respect. They’ll return to their old ways soon enough.
