India has instilled fear in Pakistanis by calling their nuclear bluff


India has decisively defeated Pakistan in a war that lasted only three days; otherwise, Pakistan would not have requested or even agreed to a ceasefire. Wars between even very strong and weak countries have often continued for months. The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, was unique; it lasted for two decades. It was fought in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. North Vietnam received support from China and the Soviet Union, while the South was backed by the United States, Thailand, Australia, and South Korea.

The war commenced on 1 November 1955 and concluded on 30 April 1975. The US began direct military involvement in Vietnam in 1964, which lasted until 1973. Today, the Vietnamese refer to this conflict as the Resistance War Against America. From 1965 to 1973, the US expended $120 billion on the conflict. An estimated 58,200 Americans lost their lives, while around 110,000 were injured. Two million Vietnamese perished, and an additional twelve million became refugees. In 1976, Vietnam was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

 Similarly, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Since that time, the conflict has escalated, with intense fighting ongoing across various regions, resulting in thousands of casualties on both sides.

The Gaza-Israel conflict began on 7 October 2023, when Hamas executed a large-scale attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, leading Israel to declare war and commence military operations. By May 2025, the conflict had caused over 52,000 deaths in Gaza, representing about 2% of the territory’s population. Additionally, around 1,700 Israelis have died, including those killed in the initial attack on 7 October. The war has also led to extensive destruction, with over two-thirds of Gaza’s buildings damaged or destroyed.

In summary, wars can endure for many years; however, in the case of India and Pakistan, Indian forces brought the Pakistanis to their knees in just four days. A significant achievement of this brief conflict was that India revealed the empty threats of Pakistan’s nuclear blackmail. Even Western sources indicate that Indian forces have nearly obliterated Pakistan's nuclear facilities, rendering the so-called Islamic nuclear bombs ineffectual for the future. This is a considerable accomplishment for the Modi government, and hopefully, Pakistan will reconsider engaging in any further terrorist activities, especially given Modi's clear stance that retaliation will now be the new norm. Instilling fear in the enemy's heart is a greater victory than mere killing.

Hamas does not Deserve any support for its thrashing

       Israel and Hamas war started on 7 th October and has already taken the toll of more than 15 thousand human lives. In the past, no friction with Israel has lasted for more than a week but this time it is still continuing despite the passage of nearly six weeks’ time.  In fact, it is no longer a war but a relentless thrashing of the Hamas terrorists and their sympathisers in the Gaza Strip. According to the latest reports almost the entire Gaza Strip has been occupied by Israel’s forces. Hamas terrorists are hiding like rats in the tunnels, which they have constructed mainly under the hospitals to shield themselves. Terrorists are now targeting hospitals, killing innocent people and blaming Israel’s forces to gain sympathy from the world. But no country has till now come forward to join the war against Israel. Even Iran, Lebanon and Pakistan do not have the courage to face the wrath of Israel.   As a matter of fact, the world can learn a lesson ...

Law to Weed out Touts is Inadequate and Needs to be Done More

  Law to Weed out Touts is Inadequate and Needs to be Done More The presence of touts is ubiquitous in any court, be it district, High Court or even the Supreme Court. Why only courts- this is a common sight of any government office dealing with the public. So much so, even in the hospitals, touts rule the roost. Police stations remain hovered by the touts all the time. Even an FIR cannot be lodged without the help of the touts. As far as the courts are concerned, touts are found on all their gates itself. Many advocates depend on them because it is they who bring cases to them and in return get good commissions. Many touts have their own independent offices, and they operate by giving a façade of computer operators or typists. That is why, the Advocate Amendment Bill 2023 passed by Parliament the other day is a welcome law.    Verily speaking, the judicial system is swamped with touts. The definition of tout that has been given in the new Advocates (Amendment) Bill o...

The conduct of Kejriwal and AAP Leaders is Repulsive and Lowest of the Low

 Twenty days have elapsed from the incarceration of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, firstly in ED’s custody and thereafter in judicial custody. L’ affaire Aam Adami Party and Arvind Kejriwal have been controversial for over a year. He and his party have been claiming from housetops for the purity and transparency in public life. But nobody ever imagined that AAP and particularly its leader Kejriwal would plumb to such an unfathomable depth of immorality and opacity. Now leaders of AAP are saying that Kejriwal will continue to run the government from jail. However, the question is how will it be feasible? Will it not be a gross violation of constitutional propriety? Mr Kejriwal had cocked the snook to the summons of the ED nine times and at long last he appeared at the directions  of the court. If he had nothing to conceal in the liquor gate scam, he could have appeared at the first call but always avoided appearing by saying that the summonses of the ED were not...
