“When they say Ghazwa-e-Hind, they mean it…. it would be the biggest delight for Pakistan to use their nukes against India,” says Dr. Abhinav Pandya, Founder & CEO, Usanas Foundation. From the Two-Nation Theory to “Ghazwa-e-Hind”, Pakistan’s ideological hostility towards India has remained constant despite the creation of Bangladesh debunking the very basis of Partition. Dr. Pandya argues that anti-India rhetoric is not just strategic, but deeply embedded in Pakistan’s military-religious psyche. “Presenting Hindu India as an existential threat helps bind the population on religious grounds.” He warns that sections of the Pakistani establishment view conflict with India through an ideological and civilisational lens, reinforced by radicalisation, jihadist networks, and decades of Islamisation within society and the military establishment.

“Organisations like Lashkar and Jaish… they’re not (considered) terrorist organisations in Pakistan,” says Dr Abhinav Pandya, Founder and CEO, Usanas Foundation. Decades of Islamisation have radicalised large parts of Pakistani society to the point where figures like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar are viewed by many not as terrorists, but as religious leaders fighting a “true Jihad,” he warns. The use of jihadist proxies is not a temporary policy… it is deeply embedded in the state’s strategic and ideological framework, “After the defeat in 1948, Pakistan realised India is too big a country… so Pakistan needs to use hybrid strategies, exploiting India’s “religious, caste and regional fault lines.” notes Dr Pandya, Watch the full analysis on Chakra News: youtu.be/7TrcgMwaM24 #Pakistan #ISI #Terrorism #HybridWarfare #Lashkar #Jaish #StrategicAffairs #Kashmir #chakranewz @SandeepUnnithan @abhinavpandya @UsanasF @i_DeepakBhadana @awasthi_bob

“Pakistan has completely dumped the former OGWs.... instead hybrid terrorists and sleeper cells are the focus” says Dr. Abhinav Pandya, Founder, Usanas Foundation. A teenager drops a weapon at a location. Someone else picks it up, carries out an attack, then disappears back into normal life. This is the rise of the “hybrid terrorist” ordinary-looking individuals executing one-off terror acts before blending back into society. But what prompted this shift and what should India guard against?

Pak-backed terror groups were hit hard by Article 370. But they have now evolved. “Now, they have created different fronts like TRF, the Resistance Front, People’s Anti-Fascist Front… they are like digital fronts and proxies,” says Dr. Abhinav Pandya, Founder, Usanas Foundation. After communication crackdowns and tighter surveillance in J&K, Pakistan-backed groups adapted with a new strategy: decentralised, leaderless militancy backed by online propaganda and plausible deniability. TRF acts as a proxy for Lashkar-e-Taiba. PAFF functions as a front for Jaish-e-Mohammed. But their names are deliberately crafted to sound secular and rights-oriented. Why?
