**Welcome to the Nation’s Favorite Blame Game: Kashmiris, Tourists, and The Convenient Villain Called Pakistan**
Listen up, the truth’s about to drop, and I don’t sugarcoat.
Brace yourselves – we’ve gone from *incredible India* to *incriminating Indians*, faster than a WhatsApp forward on election day.
Twenty-six innocent tourists turned into statistics in the bloodstained silence of Pahalgam. The government’s first reaction? Not grief, not action, not reflection – but good old-fashioned finger-pointing at Pakistan. Classic playbook, page one, paragraph one: “Blame Pakistan, collect applause, skip consequences.”
But while New Delhi hurls accusations across the Line of Control like cricket balls in a gully match, guess who’s facing the real heat? Not ISI agents. Not jihadist recruiters. But average, everyday Kashmiris – students in Surat, workers in Bangalore, traders in Jaipur. Because nothing says national unity like a lynching mob looking to settle a geopolitical score with a Kashmiri fruit seller.
Folks, the game’s rigged. And we all know it.
Let’s break it down like this: in the aftermath of every disaster, India plays a bizarre rerun called “Kashmiris Under Suspicion.” Same script, different channel. And every time, the only thing that changes is the number of hate crimes and hashtags.
Why grieve with Kashmir when you can scapegoat it?
Now, don’t get me wrong. Terrorism deserves a swift, unforgiving response. But unless someone’s hiding a Jaish-e-Mohammad training camp in a Srinagar teashop, maybe we should stop equating every Kashmiri face with a Kalashnikov. Instead of sharpening pitchforks or banning shawls (yes, that’s real), how about we sharpen our intelligence operations? How about we ask why 26 lives were lost under our watch despite the presence of one of the world’s most surveilled borders?
But no – we’d rather light rhetorical bonfires and turn communities into punching bags.
And for what? Political currency.
Because nothing fuels the flames of nationalism like a communal scapegoat. Every TV debating don in Delhi suddenly finds his inner warlord the moment “Kashmir” is mentioned. Loud voices, louder bias, and absolutely no interest in facts. One part outrage, two parts clout-chasing. That’s today’s infotainment specialty.
Meanwhile, the real power players sit back and cash in. You think politicians want peace in Kashmir? That would close the entire business model. No more “us versus them,” no more vote-by-fear campaigns. If peace ever broke out in Kashmir, news anchors would need therapy and half the political class would need a side hustle.
Ask yourselves: Who profits from perpetual outrage? Who builds campaigns on dead soldiers and divides cities with lines more dangerous than borders?
Hint: It ain’t the shawl vendor from Ganderbal.
Let me put it straight – if you believe in justice only when your side wins, you don’t want justice. You want revenge with PR.
And Kashmiris? They’re stuck in the crossfire between Pakistan’s proxy wars and India’s propaganda circus. They’re the collateral damage in a game where nobody wants peace because peace doesn’t trend.
So here’s my unsolicited but highly accurate prescription: Stop using Kashmiris as political ping-pongs. Stop peddling patriotism at the expense of citizens’ safety. And for the love of democracy, unshackle the narrative from lazy clichés and election slogans.
Kashmir bleeds. India mourns. But let’s not confuse mourning with moral license to lynch.
You want to defeat terrorism? Start by not mimicking its tactics: fear, division, and dehumanization.
Because if we don’t change the script, one day, history won’t just curse the men behind the guns. It’ll curse the bystanders who clapped every time a scapegoat bled.
And I don’t play to be cursed. I play to win. With truth as my weapon.
Let’s see who can handle that heat.
– Mr. 47
