In Narendra Modi, the RSS has found not just a leader but a messiah; one with the political cunning of an autocrat and the populist charisma of a televangelist. Under his watch, textbooks have been rewritten, history sanitised, minorities demonised, and a billion people convinced that all of this is progress.

Showcasing its air superiority, the Pakistan Air Force outmanoeuvred and outclassed India’s French Rafales, shattering the illusion of Hindutva-fuelled dominance in South Asian skies, proving this latest cross-border skirmish wasn’t just a dogfight—it was the moment the PAF reclaimed its throne above the clouds.

India’s €7 billion Rafale programme suffered a severe credibility blow when three aircraft were reportedly downed during the cross‑border strikes, erasing some 2.6% in Dassault’s market value within hours. This reframes the Rafale from “game‑changer” to cautionary example, strengthening Pakistan’s diplomatic hand and undermining India’s deterrence strategy.

It is unfortunate to write that India's Sikhs may never fully grasp the depth of Pakistan’s affection because that affection is filtered through a wall of suspicion built by the Indian state, which views any bridge extended westward as inherently suspect.

Because Pakistan never stopped standing for the people India tries its hardest to forget.
