India Plans Military Action Against Pakistan Amid Rising Tensions

Tensions between India and Pakistan have sharply escalated following a recent terrorist attack in Kashmir, with India accusing Pakistan of links to the assault. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has engaged in extensive diplomatic outreach, but sources indicate this is part of an effort to justify potential military action against Pakistan, rather than to de-escalate the situation. India has implemented measures such as a crackdown in Kashmir, mass arrests, threats to disrupt water supplies under the Indus Waters Treaty, and the expulsion of Pakistani diplomats. Meanwhile, anti-Muslim sentiment has surged in India, leading to harassment of Kashmiri students. Pakistan has responded by suspending participation in key bilateral agreements and warning of its right to defend itself, while also experiencing an unusual show of national unity among its political factions. Despite strong rhetoric from both sides, India has not yet presented concrete evidence of Pakistani involvement, and Pakistan continues to deny any role in the attack.
