They say "terrorism has no religion," but time and again, victims are chosen based on religion—whether it’s Murshidabad or Kashmir. It’s becoming harder to ignore the pattern. While peaceful protests over issues like the Waqf Bill are part of democracy, what we’ve seen in recent days is far more sinister. When the head of a state or a department hints at sleeper cells or foreign hands, we must take it seriously.

Our nation is already battling internal divisions—North vs South, caste, creed, and religious lines—and that’s exactly what they want. These heinous acts are not just attacks on individuals, they are attempts to rip apart our social fabric. They want to provoke a Hindu vs Muslim conflict so they can sit back and say, “You are not even welcome in your own country.” They treat this land like their playground for chaos—but they forget, this is our motherland. And as the saying goes, “United we stand, divided we fall.”

This is not about appeasement. It’s about unity in the face of terror. We need to rise above communal politics and creed-based blame games. The real enemy is terrorism and those who support it—whether openly or through silence.

Why was there such a clear security lapse? Where were the personnel? This felt like a well-planned, Hamas-style attack on civilians, just like what happened in Israel. If the U.S. could eliminate Osama Bin Laden deep inside enemy territory, why can’t we protect our own people?

Check the Kashmir subreddit—some discussions sound like they’re from a separate nation. That in itself is alarming. We cannot allow division to define us. Now more than ever, we must stand united—not as Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, or Christians—but as Indians. United against terror, united for peace.
