India Elected a Man to Do a Woman’s Job: Modi Blinked, the Monkey Won, and Kashmir Still Bleeds

In 1971, under the leadership of a woman, India split Pakistan in two.
Indira Gandhi didn’t perform for cameras. She didn’t crowdsource courage. She led—with clarity, conviction, and results. Bangladesh was born. Pakistan was humiliated. And for once, India completed what it set out to do.

Fast forward to 2025.

Narendra Modi—elected on the promise of strength, wrapped in 56-inch bravado, and crowned as the leader who’d finally end India’s decades-long bleeding—had his moment. And in less than 72 hours, he folded.

Since 1971, Pakistan has accepted that it can’t beat India through conventional warfare. So it switched strategies. Not peace, not diplomacy—a thousand cuts. It started quietly, strategically, and with the full support of its Western sponsors.

In the 1980s, Pakistan—with encouragement from the West—poured resources into destabilizing India through the Khalistan movement. Over 14 years, Punjab became a warzone. Trains were bombed, political leaders assassinated, civilians massacred. The campaign did not end with the death of Indira Gandhi—it was eventually dismantled thanks to bold leadership from within Punjab, including senior Sikh leaders and a Sikh DGP, who refused to let their state be torn apart from within.

Then came Kashmir. Under the banner of “freedom,” Pakistan sent jihadis trained by its military across the border. The result? A generation of bloodshed and the forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits—turned into refugees in their own country.

In 1999, the Kargil War erupted—another deception with Pakistani soldiers disguised as militants. It blew apart PM Vajpayee’s peace initiative. Then came the 2001 Parliament attack, 26/11 Mumbai, and many others.

So no, India’s anger isn’t impulsive. It’s rooted in lived trauma. And Modi was elected to break the cycle.

But after the Pahalgam terror attack, when the moment came—he blinked.

Limited strikes, loud headlines, and then a quiet ceasefire—after phone calls from Washington, London, Brussels.

No POK reclaimed. No terrorists dismantled. No message sent.

The West, once again, got what it wanted: South Asia destabilized, arms deals intact, and both nations distracted. Because the real secret is this: the West doesn’t want this problem solved. Kashmir is a pressure point. A profitable one.

Pakistan is their pawn. India is their prize.
And as long as both keep bleeding, nobody in Washington or Brussels is losing sleep.

Let’s also be clear: Pakistan has lost far more than it gained. Its military obsession with India has cost it a future. It’s poor, unstable, and dependent on China. But so long as it can keep India reactive, it keeps the illusion of relevance alive.

Meanwhile, India now responds in kind. Supporting the Baloch movement, funding pressure campaigns, and returning its own cuts. But India has more to lose: its economy, global standing, and stability.

This could’ve been the moment to rise above it.
To redraw the map.
To reclaim what was always legally India's under the Instrument of Accession and UN Resolution 47.
Even China would’ve hesitated—with $500 billion in trade on the line.

But India blinked.
And the monkey got the bread.

Once again, in the fight between India and Pakistan, the monkey—the West, China, and arms dealers—wins.
India gets pride. Pakistan gets pity.
And nothing changes.

Which brings us to the truth few dare say:

India elected a man to do a woman’s job—and he failed.

Because when Indira Gandhi asked the UN for help in 1971, she was denied.
When the U.S. and Europe threatened her with consequences, she didn’t retreat—she divided Pakistan in two.
She didn’t tweet. She didn’t wait. She acted.

Kashmir still unresolved.
POK still occupied.
India still bleeding.
And Modi—still branding, not leading.

In 1971, a woman led India to split Pakistan in two—despite UN denial & US threats. In 2025, a man folded in 72 hours after a phone call.

We elected a lion, got a loudspeaker.
