| Indian Armed Forces Prepare for Strategic Sacrifice | | 
By Fatima Baloch
War is never a desirable option; however, history demonstrates that nations are sometimes compelled to resort to military action in the pursuit of peace, sovereignty, and national security. India’s experiences in 1965 and 1971 underscore this reality. Whenever issues of territorial integrity, national dignity, and security have been compromised, India has demonstrated a willingness to bear significant sacrifices in defense of its national interests and honour. These conflicts, though costly, ultimately reshaped the regional order and contributed to long-term stra... |

The British encouraged Hindu–Muslim riots to sustain their colonial policy of “divide and rule” and to advance their scheme of creating Pakistan in the name of religion. While British authorities executed Indian freedom fighters and imprisoned ... |
