War Is Not an IPL Match: A Message to India



Some elements within the Indian public and media seem to live under a dangerous illusion. They think that a war at the Pakistan-India border is as easy as fixing an IPL match or as scripted as an Indian movie where actors like Amitabh Bachchan or Sunil Dutt effortlessly "destroy" Pakistani installations. Let us remind them: reality is far different and far harsher than Bollywood fantasies.


The Pakistan Army is ranked among the finest fighting forces in the world. It is an army forged in the fires of endless sacrifices, hardened by decades of battles fought against overwhelming odds. And when it comes to the battlefield, the Pakistan Army does not believe in showing mercy to the enemy. It fights with honor, strength, and unwavering resolve.


But the strength of Pakistan is not just confined to the uniforms. Every Pakistani is a born soldier. Courage, resistance, and fighting spirit flow in our blood like the mighty rivers that nourish our land. For us  battle is not a burden: it is a tradition. Fighting enemies is a celebration for us; it’s a part of our national character. Even in times of peace, we challenge and compete with each other fiercely. Imagine then, how we will react when the challenge comes from an external enemy.


Indians need to wake up from their self-made delusions. War is not a cricket match where you fix the outcome with a few underhanded deals. It is not a film where heroes perform impossible feats to roaring applause. It is brutal, it is bloody, and it demands real courage  not camera poses. And make no mistake: when it comes to real courage, Pakistan stands tall, unshaken, and unmatched.


Pakistanis do not fear war: we embrace it when it is forced upon us. We do not tremble at threats: we answer them with action. Our faith in Allah, our love for our homeland, and our traditions of valor make us invincible. We do not just defend our soil; we honor it with our blood if necessary.


If India thinks that by blocking our rivers, issuing hollow threats, or building up media hype, they can break the spirit of Pakistan, they are making the gravest mistake of their history. Pakistanis are a people who have survived famines, floods, earthquakes, and wars and each time we have emerged stronger than before.


Let it be very clear: Pakistanis do not start wars, but we have always finished them with pride, dignity, and absolute resolve.


We do not seek bloodshed. We seek peace, prosperity, and respect. But if the enemy forces our hand, then let them know: we are more than ready. Every street, every village, every heart in Pakistan will become a battlefield for the defense of our motherland. We will fight with every breath, with every drop of blood, until the last man standing.


India must decide: do they want a future of peace, or do they wish to awaken a storm that they will never be able to contain?


The choice is theirs. But Pakistan’s readiness is beyond question.
