Burst balloon': How Pahalgam attack shattered Modi's Kashmir narrative
Briefly

Since 2019, the Modi government has promoted the narrative of returning normalcy to Kashmir. However, a recent attack in Pahalgam, killing 25 tourists, has broken this illusion. This incident has escalated tensions with Pakistan, leading to military exchanges and diplomatic expulsions. India has ramped up military actions in Kashmir, targeting suspected militants and their families. Observers argue that these strategies expose significant flaws in Modi's Kashmir policy, suggesting that the envisioned 'New Kashmir' may be unattainable under current conditions.
The Pahalgam attack punctured the balloon of the 'New Kashmir' narrative, revealing significant flaws in Modi's approach to normalcy in the region.
Since 2019, the Modi government has insisted Kashmir is returning to normalcy, yet recent events raise serious doubts about the effectiveness of this claim.
In the wake of the Pahalgam attack, India has intensified military actions, but critics highlight these measures may lead to further deterioration, rather than stability.
The escalation between India and Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, underscores the fragility of peace in the region amid rising tensions.
