Thursday Briefing: Anger Is Building in India

Tragically, a violent attack in Kashmir has claimed 25 lives among Muslims and injured one Hindu tourist, sparking public outrage and a fierce backlash against Pakistan. Thousands of Muslims have been detained, and homes destroyed as the region’s tensions rise. Prime Minister Modi has pledged an offensive against militants and their safe havens, while Pakistani officials hinted at an imminent Indian response. Accusations of foreign support have intensified, with security forces working to dismantle terrorist networks in India. Public sentiment now opposes foreign interference, escalating tensions along both the border and within the country itself.
