We just wanted to teach the terrorists a lesson.
00:02
That lesson has been taught.
00:04
Pakistan, Murdabad!
00:06
Bharat, Sindabad!
00:08
Should Prime Minister Narendra Modi hire Shashi Tharoor and Asanduddin OEC for a more global role?
00:14
So back in 1971, when India was in the middle of the East Pakistan crisis, Indira Gandhi did something bold.
00:21
She sent Atalbiyari Vajpayee, her biggest political rival, to the UN to make India's case.
00:25
It worked. The world listened.
00:27
The truth is that the circumstances of 1971 are not the circumstances of 2025.
00:33
Now cut to 2025. The guns may have stopped. There's a ceasefire in place.
00:37
With the real war, it's happening in global TV panels and printed threads.
00:41
And honestly, India's sort of losing that one.
00:51
Let's rewind for a second.
00:53
The latest India-Pakistan clash started after 26 Indian tourists were massacred in Pahlgaan.
00:58
India struck back, hit terror camps and POK and deep inside Pakistan.
01:02
Pakistan responded with drones and missiles.
01:04
India went further, took out key airbases, wrecked the military response.
01:08
Aatan ke ye headquarters ujaar diyeh.
01:12
But now, Pakistan's Prime Minister is out here, claiming victory and somehow, the world's nodding along.
01:17
Western media barely covered the drone attacks or the shelling of Indian villages.
01:21
But when India hit back, suddenly we are the aggressors.
01:24
And now with the ceasefire, headlines are praising Pakistan for its restraint.
01:28
Really?
01:28
On international panels, it's Pakistani experts everywhere.
01:32
Well-spoken, suited up, telling the world how they are the victims.
01:35
Meanwhile, the original trigger, that terror attack in Pahlgaan, is already fading from memory.
01:39
So, here's a thought.
01:41
The point was actually voiced on Mr. Kamilaj Singh, who you may know as the Tau from the Teen Tal podcast.
01:46
I'll check out his column in the description.
01:47
So, according to Tau, it's time India fought this narrative war with the best voices we've got.
01:52
And that means Shashi Tharoor and Asil bin Ovesi.
01:55
Tharoor's been in the UN, he knows how the global game works.
01:58
He's sharp, eloquent and frankly, one of the few Indians who can go toe-to-toe with these Western commentators on their turf.
02:04
Ovesi, he's the wild card, Cambridge trained, never afraid to speak his mind.
02:08
And when Pakistan tried to twist India's communal fault lines, he stood firm and called it out.
02:13
Sending both of them out on a global blitz, Washington, London, Brussels could flip the script. Fast.
02:19
If Indira Gandhi could trust Vajpayee back then, maybe Modi can trust Tharoor and Ovesi now.
02:24
Because, let's be real, this ceasefire does not mean peace.
02:27
It just means the war has changed shape.
02:29
And if we want to win this version of it, we'll need more than missiles.
02:33
We'll need mines.
02:34
