Let's not take Pakistan Army's bait and put emotion over reason
Let's not take Pakistan Army's bait and put emotion over reason Chetan Bhagat Updated: May 3, 2025, 20:57 IST IST There are no easy answers. People have their own viewpoints on how Kashmir should have been handled, but one solution was to integrate the region more with India, improve the local economy, and create opportunities for the youth It's terrible. There is no other word for it. What happened in Pahalgam should not have happened. It's not justified under any circumstances. Just look at the massive repercussions of the attack: 26 killed, and their families devastated. Livelihoods lost, and a regional economy that was hobbling back to life destroyed all over again. A nation engulfed in sorrow, along with anger and frustration at a problem that never seems to go away. An Indian society that risks being fractured all over again on religious lines. Chances of a full-scale war between two nuclear powers. All this brought about by just a few guys with guns, in one afternoon. Are these deranged youth who believe killing innocent Hindus at point-blank range is doing some sort of service to their religion or nation or Kashmir all it takes to destroy the peace of a nation and take the world to the brink of a nuclear war?
