For nearly eight decades, Kashmir has remained one of the world's most enduring and painful conflicts. Every generation has witnessed violence, displacement, terrorism, and military confrontation.

A widely held view among many historians

In the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on Indian soil, the country’s highest political and security leadership faced a familiar yet high-stakes challenge.

What followed was a carefully considered process of assessment and decision-making that reshaped India’s approach to dete

Punjab Police have successfully dismantled two cross-border terror modules allegedly directed by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence.
