Kashmir and the Global Blind Spot-Pakistan: A Stark Warning

The Problem – Kashmir and Pakistan’s Message

If Kashmir flourishes, who feels threatened? That’s the uncomfortable question few dare to ask. It’s time to stop simplifying the Kashmir issue and acknowledge the far more troubling reality — this is no longer just about a “deep state.” It’s a full-scale ideological, geopolitical, and existential challenge.

Pakistan has long sent a clear signal — Kashmir is not your backyard. They view it as a symbolic frontline and strategic pawn. This goes beyond territorial conflict; it is a national obsession deeply embedded in political and cultural narratives.

What’s more alarming is the world’s ongoing failure to understand the depth of this threat. Kashmir has served as Pakistan’s testing ground for terrorism, yet international focus remains locked on superficial narratives or misplaced sympathies. The result? A dangerous blind spot.

The Ideology – Kalma as a Weapon

This is not about missiles or troop movements alone — this is a war of ideas and beliefs. In Pakistan’s ideological conflict, even faith itself is weaponized. If you are a Muslim but don’t conform to their version of the Kalma, you are seen as expendable. A sacred phrase — meant to unify — is now used to separate life from death.

This is not Islam versus other religions. It’s not about Kashmir alone. This is Pakistan versus Hindus, Muslims, Christians, atheists — anyone who refuses to adopt its radical script. The real war is ideological, and it infects every layer of Pakistan’s system — from education to national rhetoric.

Indian strategic discourse, meanwhile, remains fragmented. Blame games targeting internal elements — deep state, community biases, or systemic issues — only create confusion. Adversaries thrive in this disunity. Pakistan sings while we debate.

Let’s not be vague: the reason the world remains unsafe today can be summarized in three words — Pakistan, Pakistan, and Pakistan.

The Global Call – Confronting the Source

We must stop blaming Islam, Kashmir, or any religion as a whole. The issue isn’t faith — it’s the state-sponsored exploitation of faith for terror. Pakistan has mastered this dark craft and has embedded it into its governance model.

Surgical strikes or diplomatic overtures won’t suffice. The source of terrorism is not nestled in Kashmir’s valleys but deep within Pakistan’s ideological framework. The state, its regime, and its radical educational machinery have to be named, shamed, and stopped.

This is not just India’s fight. The global community must act decisively. The United States, historically an enabler of Pakistan’s duplicity, must now choose: continue shielding a radical regime, or take a stand for global peace.

The time for silence is over. The world must unite to pin down Pakistan not as a misunderstood neighbor, but as the epicenter of radical extremism. Until that happens, there will be no peace — not in Kashmir, not in India, not anywhere.
