The enemy remembers mercy. And returns with vengeance


DON’T RETREAT
DON’T RETREAT

History has placed you at a critical juncture — one where leadership demands not just courage but a clarity of purpose that does not falter. Let us remember: after the 1971 war, India held every card — East Pakistan was liberated, we had over 93,000 Pakistani soldiers as prisoners of war, and we had captured vast stretches of Pakistani territory. India stood supreme, with the entire subcontinent acknowledging our might.


And yet, in a moment that will forever haunt our national memory, Indira Gandhi, under the mirage of international diplomacy, surrendered the advantage at Shimla. She returned the prisoners. She handed back the captured land. She accepted hollow promises from Pakistan’s then Prime Minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto — promises that were broken almost immediately after they were made. India’s great victory was turned into a shallow compromise, setting the stage for five decades of terrorism, proxy wars, and bloodshed.


That act of retreat, dressed up as magnanimity, cost India dearly. We paid with our soldiers' lives. We paid in terror attacks. We paid in Kashmir’s agony. We are still paying.


PM. Modi — you have the opportunity to correct history, not repeat its mistakes.


The Mission is Unfinished

The story of 1971 was never meant to end at the Shimla Agreement. It was supposed to end with a complete rewriting of the subcontinent’s map. It was supposed to end with Pakistan being dismantled — not just split once, but rendered permanently incapable of threatening India again.


Today, as India rises stronger than ever — politically, economically, and militarily — we cannot lose sight of the unfinished business: PoK must return to India. Pakistan, as a rogue state, must be broken apart. Only then will true peace be possible.


There will be immense pressure.Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Iran — they will plead and threaten. The United States will nudge, negotiate, and caution. Even some within India will cry hoarse about diplomacy, restraint, and "international opinion."Ignore them.


The so-called world order respects only two things: strength and willpower. India respected the world’s so-called advice once — and Kashmir bled for it. We have learnt the lesson the hard way: there are no prizes for being soft. Only the decisive are remembered. Only the resolute shape the future.


PM. Modi, India did not elect you to be another soft diplomat. India chose you to be a leader who finishes what others hesitated to even start.


No Half-Measures This Time


This is not the moment for half-measures.This is not the moment for ceasefires, for backroom deals, for "goodwill gestures."This is not the moment to repeat 1972.

This is the moment for a final, historic reset.The goal must be clear and unwavering:

  • PoK must be taken back — not talked about.

  • Pakistan must be dismantled into pieces — not stabilized.

  • Terrorism must not be "managed" — it must be uprooted from its very roots.


And as for international "friends" who pressure us — they must be told in clear terms: India will act in its own interest. Period. No nation that respects itself seeks permission for its security.

PM Modi — history is watching. Future generations are watching.This is your opportunity to place India in a position of irreversible strength for the next 100 years.


Do not retreat like Indira.Do not compromise away India’s hard-earned advantage.Do not hand the enemy another chance to regroup.


When destiny knocks, only cowards choose to negotiate


Jai Hind
