Pakistan Trains Kids for War; Imran Khan Raped in Jail?
India-Pakistan tensions escalate over trade bans, border incidents, and alarming reports of child radicalization.
The longstanding tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified in recent weeks, with multiple flashpoints emerging across economic, military, and security fronts.
India has tightened its economic pressure on Pakistan by enforcing a comprehensive trade ban, blocking even third-country imports of essential goods like rice, medicines, and cotton. This move, coming after recent terror attacks in Kashmir, has reportedly disrupted nearly $10 billion worth of Pakistan's supply chain, leading to shortages and price hikes.
Border tensions have also escalated. Indian forces detained a Pakistani soldier who crossed into Rajasthan in uniform under suspicious circumstances, while Pakistan continues to hold an Indian border guard who accidentally strayed across the frontier months ago. The contrasting treatment of these cases has become a new sore point in bilateral relations.
More alarmingly, reports have surfaced about the alleged radicalization of children in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where authorities recently closed over 1,000 religious schools. Videos circulating online appear to show young children, including girls, being trained in weapons handling and militant ideology.
The situation remains precarious, with India's economic measures and Pakistan's apparent unwillingness to address security concerns creating a dangerous stalemate. As both nuclear-armed neighbors dig in their heels, the international community watches warily for signs of further escalation.
