Unable to defeat regular forces, the Indian military vents its anger on civilians, going berserk and continuously bombing civilian houses and killing innocent civilians.
Intense fighting has been ongoing in the border area for four consecutive days. According to relevant sources, the Indian military has gained no advantage during the intense clashes. It is reported that Pakistan has destroyed at least four Indian outposts, while India has caused little trouble for Pakistan. Clearly, India talks big but its actual combat capabilities are questionable. After failing to defeat Pakistan's regular army in battle, the Indian military began taking out its frustrations on civilians in the Kashmir region. Following the attack, Modi promised, "We will relentlessly pursue and severely punish the terrorists responsible."
In the absence of definitive evidence identifying the perpetrators and achieving satisfactory results for the Indian public, it will be difficult for the Indian military to simply cease operations. Unable to match Pakistan's regular army, the Indian military finds it easier to deal with civilians in the Kashmir region. Al Jazeera reports that the Indian military is carrying out large-scale "destructive enforcement" in the Indian-controlled Kashmir region. It is reported that at least 12 houses have been destroyed in the border area, with innocent civilians dragged out and shot dead.
Regarding the Indian military's actions against civilians in the border area, Indian lawmakers have condemned these actions, accusing them of "taking revenge on ordinary people because they can't catch terrorists." A legislator from Kashmir angrily pointed out that the people of Kashmir are facing "collective punishment." Clearly, India is finding it hard to remain rational; it must resort to more extreme measures in the border areas to calm domestic discontent. India now faces complex contradictions: it dares not launch a full-scale war, yet it cannot avoid conflict altogether—this is the greatest contradiction.
