1. Multiple Wars – All Lost or Stalemated
Pakistan initiated wars in 1947, 1965, and 1999 (Kargil) to seize Kashmir, all unsuccessful:
1947-48 War: Ended in a ceasefire; Pakistan held part of Kashmir (PoK) but failed to capture the Valley.
1965 War: Operation Gibraltar failed; India counterattacked and gained territory.
1971 War: Pakistan’s biggest defeat—Bangladesh was created; over 90,000 troops surrendered.
1999 Kargil War: Pakistan’s incursion was exposed and defeated; global opinion favored India.
State-Sponsored Terrorism – International Isolation
Pakistan used terrorism as a proxy war tactic, especially in Kashmir, supporting groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and ISI operatives.
Major attacks: 2001 Parliament attack, 2008 Mumbai attacks, 2019 Pulwama.
India’s response: Surgical strikes (2016) and Balakot airstrike (2019) showed pre-emptive resolve.
Outcome: Global pressure forced Pakistan to curb terror groups; FATF grey-listed it for years.
Diplomatic Failures
Pakistan failed to gain international support for Kashmir from the UN, OIC, US, or EU.
India’s rising economic and geopolitical influence has isolated Pakistan.
Propaganda and Misinformation – Exposed
Pakistan’s efforts to portray Kashmir as oppressed have failed.
Fabricated videos, manipulated photos, and paid media campaigns were repeatedly debunked.
Even allies like the UAE and Saudi Arabia distanced themselves, aligning closer to India.
Pakistan as a Failed State
Political Instability
Coups, assassinations, and military dominance have paralyzed democracy.
Civilian governments are weak; leaders like Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, and Imran Khan faced instability.
Economic Collapse
Economy in crisis: soaring inflation, IMF bailouts, and loan defaults.
Critically low foreign reserves and no stable economic strategy.
Rise of Radicalism
Jihadist groups, once supported for “strategic depth,” now threaten Pakistan (e.g., TTP, LeJ).
Religious intolerance has fractured society.
Balochistan and Internal Unrest
Balochistan seeks independence due to exploitation and military abuses.
Sindhi, Pashtun, and Gilgit-Baltistani groups demand autonomy or separation.
Decline in Global Reputation
FATF, IMF, and major powers view Pakistan as high-risk and unstable.
Even China exploits Pakistan via ventures like CPEC.
India’s global influence overshadows Pakistan’s fading reputation.
A Country That Undermined Itself
Pakistan’s obsession with harming India has led to its own ruin. Instead of building a strong economy, society, or polity, it invested in terror, war, and propaganda. While trying to “bleed India with a thousand cuts,” it inflicted a thousand wounds on itself. As India rises as a global power, Pakistan struggles to maintain stability.
Pakistan’s aggressive policies against India have consistently backfired, leading to its own decline
