Yesterday the first interesting news to come out was India saying that any further act of terror will be considered as an act or war. This was at 3.54 pm.
A couple of hours later around 5.34 pm, we saw POTUS Trump’s message on X that India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire.
There was a huge uproar (you could almost hear it) on social media about this !! Arnab said it was over reach and yes, it did seem that way. Then we had the Tri-services media briefing where they mentioned the same thing.
Then a couple of hours later, news came in that Pakistan was shelling and sending drones into the border cities. So the ceasefire message didn’t seem to have trickled down. India seemingly didnt retaliate.
On social media, everyone had a meltdown…. CONgress missed Indira Gandhi, others missed payouts from China, some others missed their coherent thoughts and several social media experts lost their credibility.

It’s easy to feel disappointed when “Modiji” accepts ceasefire… the Pakistani propaganda machine ably supported by their diaspora in India makes one believe that we haven’t negotiated well while holding all the chips.
Now see the following messages and hopefully you chin up.
India is doing just fine and it’s taking on the world leader role… the scales are tilting. President Trump may think he is the OG negotiator but he is in KG when compared to PM Modi. This whole 3 day conflict with Pakistan has made the world sit up and take notice of the new leader in the new age warfare – Bharat.
Akashteer – Bharat’s Own Iron Dome
Do read this fascinating analysis by John Spencer regarding Akashteer – Air Defense in the Modern Era: No Silver Bullets, Only Layers.
Note : the Akashteer did not get created overnight, it isn’t a simple purchase of S-400 or some other defence system that created the iron dome. It’s a whole integrated system that has been in the works for some time now, specifically in the last decade when Modiji has been the Prime Minister. It’s also important to understand that it’s “Made in India”. So stop joking around about Atmanirbhar Bharat. You just saw a demonstration of that.
BLOT – Bharat is in safe hands, politically and militarily. Rest, relax and go about your day normally. The Indian Armed Forces know what they are doing and PM Modi is re-writing the book on negotiations. If possible and time permits, send a prayer to your Ishta devta to keep our soldiers safe and the enemy on tenterhooks (preferably dead).
Jai Hind. Jai Hind Ki Sena.
