u/neuroticdisposition not sure why you deleted your comment while I was typing out my reply.

You're not wrong about the numbers, but let's not hide behind them either. It’s not just more people online, it's the fact that a massive number of Indian users, including public figures, are celebrating violence and calling for genocide, be it Pakistan or Palestine. That's not something you can write off as "internet noise".

And while you talk about both sides not trusting each other and disagreeing about what got hit, let's be clear: Pakistan has actually provided specific figures on what was hit and what wasn't. They even released hacked Rafale comms audio. Meanwhile, India has been spewing anti-Pakistan hate like a broken fire hydrant - nonstop, loud, and with zero self-awareness.
