Top 5 Industries Going To Get Affected If Indo-Pak Had A War
Kashmir has been a point of contention in Indo-Pakistani relations ever since the two nations gained independence from Britain in 1947. The two newly formed countries that resulted from the violent partition of British India - Hindu-majority, India and Muslim-majority Pakistan both lay claim to Kashmir in its entirety, and months after gaining independence, had their first of three wars over the region.
PM Narendra Modi declared India will retaliate against ‘every terrorist and their supporters’ after an attack where 26 persons were murdered in Puhalgam attack. “India hasn't had one serious terror strike under Prime Minister Narendra Modi since his regime has been in authority since 2014-2024". Of course, there are disturbances along the border”, she continued, "but the Indian Army has ensured that all efforts to enter this nation are wiped out even on the border", Nirmala Sitharaman, Minister of Finance of India on 2016.
In the wake of the Pulwama and Uri attacks, India has shown a restrained response, particularly through the Balakot airstrikes. These measures demonstrate India's calculated response to combating terrorism without disrupting the equilibrium of its military reaction. The Kashmir, which is being claimed in totality by both the countries, has seen three wars and continues to be one of the world's most militarized regions. The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, a picturesque site often referred to as ‘mini Switzerland,’ serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing conflict. This brutal act was not merely an assault on innocent tourists but a calculated political signal aimed at undermining Kashmir's image as a safe tourist destination. Videos of terrified visitors fleeing the scene have left an indelible mark on public consciousness.
Against the backdrop of escalating tensions, the recent ghastly terror attack is one of the darkest moments in recent history, and it raises questions about the motivations behind such brutality. Interestingly, this attack came just after the Waqf Bill was amended in Parliament, which seeks to correct deficiencies in the Waqf Act of 1995, specifically regarding the administration of Waqf properties. Critics contend that it violates the autonomy of Waqf properties and intrudes into Muslim religious matters, contrary to a number of articles of the Indian Constitution. They contend that the suggested amendments will be harmful instead of being helpful to the Muslim community.
Only four days before the attack, Pakistan Army Chief and Lashkar-e-Taiba leaders made blunt statements at a public gathering, stating they were determined to help ‘Kashmiri brothers in their battles against Indian occupation”. If Indo-Pak had a war, tourism, aviation, financial services, film, and sports industry are some of the prime industries that are going to get affected majorly.
