Let’s focus on national goals, not collapsed neighbors

First, let me admit that I was born in 1953 at Gen-jurassic Park, the last batch of projects to use slide rules, which is also my father’s! I went from slide rules to Fortran IV, the mainframe Burroughs 6800 of 1980, mini computers, Apple iPads and laptops, and phones with more computers than the Eniac (electronic digital integrators and computers).

In 1962, I saw Indian troops returning from the war with China (watch later haqeeqat I cry in my eyes, every time I hear Lata TaijiAye Mere Mere Watan Ke Logon”, I have chicken skin ump); in 1965, how did Indian troops reach the marine canal; in 1971, India launched a pre-strike on Indian Air Force Base (PAF), threats from the United States and the gunmen and the pl and pl and pl and pl and and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and and pl and and and

Throughout my life, we have gone from being a beggar nation, seeking to seek affirmative lifestyles from the Western world to one of the largest economies in the world, namely the fourth or fifth, leaving economists quarreling.

From today’s situation, we are a country with a cereal surplus, and the government has enough money to provide free food for 600,000 to 800,000 times, allowing economists to pick on the numbers. IMF World Economic Outlook 2025 PEGS India’s GDP box office is around US$4.3 trillion, with a GDP growth rate of 6.2–6.5%, and will reach a US$5 trillion economy by 2027.

I asked Chatgpt: “How much is the price of the war between India and Pakistan today?” and got the following answer:

The cost of today’s hypothetical Indian war would be high astronomy, with its impacts covering economic, human, environmental and geopolitical aspects. Although there are no specific circumstances and while it is impossible to estimate exactly, here is a breakdown of possible costs for 2025:

The estimated daily cost of the comprehensive India-Pakistan war in 2025 ranges from $1 billion to $2.5 billion per day.

Artificial cost

  • Military casualties: There are thousands on both sides, depending on size and duration.
  • Civilian casualties: If targeted urban areas, it may be in hundreds of thousands.
  • Displacement: Millions of people may be displaced due to combat around borders or city centers.

Economic Cost

India:

  • Direct War Cost: $50 – $10 billion (depending on the deployment of air, naval and ground forces).
  • GDP impact: GDP growth rate fell by 2-5% for at least 1-2 years.
  • Stock market crash: Within a few days, the market value lost $20 billion to $500 million.
  • Foreign investment withdrawal and credit downgrade.

Pakistan:

  • Direct War Cost: $15–$3 billion.
  • GDP impact: More serious – prone to recession or collapse of economic growth.
  • High inflation and currency collapse.

Nuclear risk

If the conflict escalates to nuclear weapons:

  • casualties: Tens of millions of people died.
  • Environmental Impact: Radioactive pollution affecting agriculture, health and regional climate (“nuclear winter”).
  • Global economic shock: trillions of dollars in global losses; stock markets will plummet; oil prices may soar.

Geopolitical and diplomatic consequences

  • The United Nations, the United States, China, Russia and others will intervene diplomatically.
  • Trade sanctions, arms embargoes and international quarantine can be subsequently imposed.
  • South Asia will become a highly volatile global flash point.

Recovery time

  • Economical: 5-10 years to resume pre-war growth.
  • Social: Intergenerational trauma, militarization and instability may last for decades.

Comparative example:

  • The Kargil War (1999) lost about 5,000 crore in India’s brief conflict (about 1.2 billion US dollars at the time). Today’s full-size war will be 50–100 times the cost.

In short, today’s full-scale India-Pakistan war could cost hundreds of billions of dollars and lead to unprecedented humanitarian and geopolitical disasters, especially when nuclear weapons are involved. Pakistan is likely to be a radioactive wasteland with the northern and western parts of India being damaged (H. Hawksley’s World War III, 2003). Our cold start doctrine will force Pakistan to use its tactical nuclear weapons first, which triggered India’s second strike in India before any mediation. The United Nations explained Bishen Bedi, at best, was a bunch of “joking”.

All in all, Pakistan is a failed state reason It is a “denial India” run by an army that needs to deny the idea of ​​unity, multicultural, multiracial, vibrant democracy, namely the existence of India. I need to repeat a tired joke: “Every country has an army; Pakistani army has a country”?

We represent $1.4 billion of the 8.4 billion that lives on Earth, accounting for one-sixth of humanity, and have a higher goal: to maintain a vibrant democracy and become a developed country in the near future. Pahalgam is a hated, sadistic mind, but can we keep going if the world can forget Osweetz, Dachau and Buchinwald and move on, too? According to Sipri, when India and Pakistan have about 170 nuclear warheads, do we want another Hiroshima or Nagasaki?

War and cuts will only create more sad widows, orphan children and sad parents. War is a wonderful thing – it nurtured the trend of patriotism and maintained the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned in his farewell speech: “In the Council of Government, we must prevent the acquisition of unnecessary influence, whether sought by the military-industrial complex, whether by the military-industrial complex, is a catastrophic force.

The anxiety of Pakistan’s existentialists can only be treated since their creation on 14 August 1947, after resisting the power of the army. We, New India, now have a higher goal, a geopolitical script that is unprecedentedly supported by the sharpest ideas, the evolving economy, the people of an aspiring young man. Our diaspora is the head of the world’s largest groups, academia and companies. Let’s move beyond this event and focus on furthering our national goals, rather than playing tits with a poor neighbor whose house is disintegrating anyway!
