Pakistan's Proxy War on Kashmiri Minds
Pakistan started a secret war in Kashmir using songs and words to make people angry and join their fight.
Many people, even smart ones, joined and fought.
A doctor even attacked a famous fort.
Many people died, and families were hurt.
This war has been going on for a long time and has caused a lot of problems.
Pakistan launched a psychological war in Kashmir in the late 1980s using propaganda and slogans.
The conflict claimed thousands of lives and drove out Pandit families.
Educated youth like Dr Manan Wani and Zakir Musa joined terrorist groups, indicating indoctrination's reach.
In 2025, a doctor from Pulwama attacked the Red Fort, fulfilling a fantasy instilled since childhood.
The conflict has resulted in a generation lost to a lie, with poets, teachers, and doctors becoming casualties.
