After recent tragic open fire on tourists, the Pakistani army is sporadically firing everyday and militants are trying to infiltrate. In response to that Indian soldiers are given orders to Shoot-on-sight for intruders. India has put a stop on Pakistan’s transport. Even Pakistan has cancelled all flights to POK as tensions increase. India has ordered Pakistanis in India to leave India.
Tensions are high between both countries and India is still hunting the terrorists behind the massacre. Pakistan is stating that India could attack at any time, and there have been constant high-level meetings involving PM Modi since the tragedy. Along with this deployment of Indian naval ships near Pakistani water can be seen as indication of impending action.
The U.N , US and other western countries have urged both nations to avoid further escalation and resolve tensions.

War Is Not the Solution
War has never been a true solution ,it brings only destruction, suffering, and escalating tensions. History shows that even after wars end, peace is ultimately brokered on negotiation tables, not battlefields. The India-Pakistan conflict is no exception:
1947, 1965, 1971, 1999 Wars – Millions died, but disputes remained.
2019 Balakot Strikes – Temporary deterrence, but no lasting peace.
Nuclear Threat – MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) makes war suicidal.
The Real Solution: Spirituality & Righteous Governance
Instead of violence, spiritual awakening and righteous leadership can heal this ancient rift. Prophetic insights (like those of Nostradamus) suggest:
“India will rise as a superpower through spiritual strength, not weapons.”
