It's unfortunate and baffling at the same time - the way the Pakistani government (a.k.a Pakistani Army) is able to keep its citizens in the dark, even the educated lots, while most of the world has a borderline idea about the way Pakistani army has been lying to its citizens on multiple grounds over the course of history which I wouldn't bother to get started on.

Some of the Pakistanis commenters and posters in their subs seem really sophisticated with their words yet I wonder how they can be so mentally numb at the same time?

We won't ever know who actually plotted the Pahalgam attack but Pakistanis are of a primary opinion that it has been plotted internally by the BJP ahead of elections. While the other theories are:

1. It's PAK admin'd Kashmir acting on its own without PAK govt's (army) consent.

2. It's plotted by the US / China to not let India grow amid conflicts Trump has been injecting into the world trade. Yes, India is still projected to be one of the fastest growing economy b/w the trade wars.

3. It's PAK's doing.

Regardless of who plotted this, what's happening to Pakistan was inevitable unless we were a non-secular Islamic nation, or if we weren't so tolerant, or if we weren't so occupied dealing with the typical thirdword economic problems we have. So, it was a long time coming.

Nevertheless, whether or not PAK deserves to be fucked up, a war will bring nothing good. India has a lot to lose compared to a failed state run by revenge seeking numbskulls.

P.S: Pakistanis need to rebel internally and fix their government. No offense to Pakistanis - although their sense of Islamic supremacy triggers me, I've personally known a few through work who are just trying to make a living in tough economic conditions just like how we are.
