Peace with a warring neighbour is not a luxury India can afford. That’s the brutal truth the world must now confront. While a ceasefire may calm the headlines, it cannot erase decades of betrayal, proxy warfare, and broken trust. And yet, financial institutions continue to fund a regime that exports terror while defaulting on its own people. India has no illusions left. The global order must now choose: Will it uphold peace and principles, or continue to enable a regime built on provocation and deceit? Because peace is not a one-sided burden. And India will no longer pay for it alone.
