10 May 2025 will be remembered as the day Modi’s Hindutva-motivated ambition of Ak-hand Bharat brought the world to the brink of Armageddon that was averted by Pakistan’s massive onslaught of firepower.
Indian jingoistic politicians, TV anchors, veterans and vitri-olic vloggers were threatening to wreak hell through Fire and brimstone on Pakistan but it became India’s fate to suffer ignominy.
The 10 May massive and intense dawn attack by Pakistan pulverized the Indian war effort causing Narendra Modi—who had ignored calls by the world to exercise calm—was con-strained to make the Mayday call fearing total obliteration.
Intense diplomatic efforts by the US brought about the ceasefire between India and Pakistan averting Armageddon; which is the biblical reference to the end-of-times conflict.
A gleeful Donald Trump, whose barometer is trade—in his inimitable style—claimed that his administration played a role in brokering the ceasefire between India and Pakistan by leveraging trade incentives.
Pakistan, which had shown remarkable restraint till 10 May, accepted the ceasefire and agreed to negotiations because it had inflicted heavy damage to the Indian ego as well as Modi’s war-making capability which had been massively bolstered by the Israelis.
While the Pakistani nation celebrates victory and offers thanks to Allah for granting them the upper hand against a powerful enemy, there is despondency and dejection in India be-cause it did not get the promised annihilation of Pakistan.
Here, one is reminded of one of Aesop’s fables “The Wolf and the Lamb”—a short but powerful tale about injustice and tyranny.
The story goes like this: A hungry wolf spots a young lamb drinking water from a stream.
The wolf, looking for an excuse to attack, accuses the lamb of muddying the water.
The lamb, confused, points out that it is downstream, so it couldn’t possibly be disturbing the wolf’s water.
The wolf then shifts the blame, saying the lamb insulted him last year.
The lamb replies that it wasn’t even born then.
Frustrated, the wolf declares that if it wasn’t the lamb, it must have been its family—and with that, he pounces and devours the innocent lamb.
Modi has tyrannized all its neighbours, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
Pakistan has also suffered at the hands of Modi, who admitted to his role in the se-cession of East Pakistan.
He illegally annexed Indian Occupied Kashmir, subjugated Indian Muslims and other minorities through brute force and draconian laws.
Coincidentally, fascist regimes borrow techniques of genocide from other tyrants.
Hitler, the perpetrator of the Holocaust, used the symbol of Swastika, while Hindutva and its mili-tant arm the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of which Narendra Modi—the Butcher of Gujarat—is an activist also symbolize the Swastika.
Reportedly, six million Jews were slaugh-tered by Hitler but now Israel not only finds it convenient to align itself with Swastika wield-ing RSS in their heinous goal of exterminating Muslims but also provides them lessons in state terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.
Taking a leaf out of Israel’s history of genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, Modi has been pursuing the Hindutva goal of Hindu supremacy comprising a vengeful policy of targeting Muslims, Sikhs and even lower-class Hindus, the Dalit.
Every trick in the book of domination has been tried by India including false flag operations and blaming Pakistan; in-fluencing the Financial Action Task Force to blacklist Islamabad; water terrorism; coercing the IMF to stop its loan have been a part of New Delhi’s sinister plot.
Modi now considered Pakistan to be weakened enough to deliver the death blow.
Unfortunately, this lamb was not ready to be devoured by the wolf.
Pakistan’s defence forces were preparing quietly to defend their sovereignty against all odds.
The use of Multi-Domain Warfare (MDW) in its air operations against India’s “Operation Sindoor” totally sur-prised and outclassed India and western technology.
China and Turkey had supplied hard-ware but the software, cybernetics and development of datalinks to knit all components in a lethal chain is home-grown.
Hard training, self confidence and the cherished desire of em-bracing martyrdom in the defence of the motherland have astounded the entire world.
Contrarily, India lives in its dream world of Bollywood, where reality is pushed into obscu-rity.
Their action movies after Swift Retort, which have been based on pure fantasy and wishful thinking, but with ingenious filming, editing, and special effects propel their heroes and heroines into superman/woman characters.
A gullible Indian audience buys it and loves it.
The myths of Shining India, Invincible India and mighty India were shattered when faced with the rock-solid determination and grit of Pakistan and its defence forces envisioned in “Bunyan-ul-Marsus” derived from Surah Al-Saff (61:4) in the Quran, symbolizing unity and resilience.
Sadly, owing to self interest, the world, including the Arabs, remains oblivious to the tyr-anny of genocidal regimes.
Pakistan cannot afford to rest on its laurels and let its guard down since it is dealing with a very cunning enemy, which will refuse to come to the nego-tiations table—emboldened by Israel’s precedence of violating the ceasefire and continuing its extermination of Gaza.
We need to draw inspiration from Allama Iqbal’s famous verses that emphasize self-reliance and determination:
Na ho naumeed, naumeedi zawaal-e-ilm-o-irfan hai, Umeed-e-mard-e-momin hai Khuda ke raazdanon mein.
(Do not despair, for despair is the decline of knowledge and wisdom; the hope of a true believer is among those who understand God’s secrets.).
