Jammu and Kashmir is a union territory in northern India. It comprises two major regions: Jammu and the Kashmir Valley. A third region, Ladakh, along with Jammu and Kashmir, was a part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir until 2019. After the abrogation of Article 370, the state was broken into two: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. The region is known for breathtaking landscapes with a history going back to the Indus Valley Civilization, with evidence of various empires — Gandhara, Mauryan, Kushan, Gupta, Mughal, and Dogra — ruling the area.
The region has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan since its 1947 accession to India. The two countries fought a war that resulted in the establishment of the Line of Control (LoC) and divided the region into Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Both Pakistan and China lay claims to parts of Indian-administered Kashmir and Ladakh.
The region has faced decades of insurgency, particularly since the 1980s, fueled by political alienation, human rights concerns, and economic disparities, leading to a cycle of violence and counterinsurgency operations.
In 2024, elections were held in the region after nearly a decade, restoring an elected government. Omar Abdullah took office as Chief Minister, while Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha continues to serve as the Centre’s representative, overseeing administrative affairs.
If not attack then why the hell we are third largest army.if neighbors don’t fear and continue attacking us then we should not buy any weapon or expend in forces . This is enough now. We have tolerated enough.
If Hitler also were allowed for talk show only the god knows this world would have crumbled. World fought Hitler and it was necessary likewise now is the time to teach lesson to Pakistan .
Irresponsible statements. They are playing hidden game of keeping Pakistan terror high on agenda to be encashed in elections by their masters. War is not a child’s play. Keep silent and send Akshay kumar and Anupam kher to bring Masood Azhar to India as they did in ‘Baby’ . OK if he can not go then Dubhal can go as he did for Bhindranwale. OK , then send some other trained secret agent to kill Azhar. Kill the leader why waste energy on fighting pakistan and antagonising indian and kashmiri muslims by painting them with one colour.

Tabish Kumar should himself come out clean on the issues of nation. Why he is enflaming OROP at this time?
Setting free of Masood Azbar by the Atal ji-led government in the past was a deadliest mistake.
Very true indeed !
Many of the problems we see today have their origins in mistakes by the present government as well as previous governments . Appeasement of terrorists or assuming that one terrorist is better than the other does not work. Short-termism and political expediency have been the hallmarks of the GOI’s policies in J&K. Soldiers and innocent civilians pay the price.
It is disgusting to see TV anchors shedding crocodile tears over the killing of Jawans. It seems that there is a race amongst TV anchors to out do others in proving their Nationalism.
If they are so concerned and are so outraged then why don’t they quit their cushy jobs and join Army. It is easy to shout from the comforts of their studios , anyone can do.
Disgusting that they are doing it to improve their TRP ratings.
It is equally disgusting to see a section of people advocating violence through social media just to show that they are blue blooded Patriots. They should ask themselves as to how many members from their families are in Armed Forces.
The rantings of TV anchors and mushrooming groups on social media who are baying for blood shows that they fit trust our Jawans .
I believe in Indian Armed force’s power and commitment and know that they will retaliate appropriately and give Pakistan a befitting reply. In any case Armed forces don’t act on the bidding of civilians.
Believe me if this trend is not checked then soon politicians will convert this ghastly tragedy into Hindu Muslim riots which is what Pakistan wants to get more recruits.
Jai Hind.

An excellent comment Mr Mohd. Aslam !
In my view, only official channel Doordarshan to be permitted to broadcast limited information about militancy and army action. Terrorists try to catch much media attention by these activities. We are helping those to meet their objectives. Govt of India can form a panel of Journalist and Defence experts who only can debate in calm and give lesser important to terrorist activities. Public excitement or sadness can’t affect border situation. Only army strategies will work. Army should do action but again not with media glare. These news should be neutral type view, no excitement. This will discourage the terrorist & and their sponsors. However, action should be STRONG but media attention should be LEAST.
Is it not too late to give the powers to Forces to act based on their own decisions & the situation.?It
is like you keep a driver to sit in the front but the power steering is controlled by you.
Very very pathetic.!!
They have been already given that power if you aren’t aware of AFSPA .The main thing for us is to understand as to why are the kashmiri youth taking up guns, joining millitancy . The most fundamental and primary reason of these kashmiris behind jointing millitancy is the atrocities they are facing from the indian armed forces .If we observe and try to understand every kashmiri millitant’s history, we will find a common reason in all of them in joining millitancy ..which is the harrassment/ atrocities they have been facing .Every millitant of Kashmir has faced one or the other kind of harrasment from aur armed forces which forces them to pick up guns .If you have ever observed, not only uneducated ones are picking up guns in Kashmir , but today even educated youth of Kashmir is picking up gun, obviously there has to be a reason as to why they are choosing gun over pen. We are not supposed to destroy millitancy , we have to destroy the reason behind millitancy ..the root cause of millitancy in Kashmir .That will be the permanent solution to this issue .
