The familiar feeling of “here we go again” is triggered when one observes the relationship between India and Pakistan and events such as the latest attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
It extends beyond the current situation. The subject of India’s possible employment of false flag operations—events that can be staged to support a narrative rather than expose the obvious truth—remains unanswered and concerning. It is a persistent suspicion based on prior encounters.
The background is disconcerting as you look back. Consider Pulwama in 2019—a devastating defeat for India, to be sure, but also the subject of numerous inquiries, political timing theories, and potential manipulation to incite nationalism ahead of elections.
