The Enemy Lives Among Us: A Wake-Up Call India Cannot Afford to Ignore
The enemy no longer lurks across the barbed wires of our borders; it lives and breathes among us. It smiles in our faces, shares our streets, and when the opportunity comes, it reveals itself with stunning audacity. The recent events in Karnataka following the brutal Pahalgam massacre are not just isolated footnotes in a bloody chapter; they are warning bells ringing so loudly that only a nation suicidal in its apathy would dare ignore them.
The Pahalgam attack was not merely an act of terror — it was a declaration of war against India’s soul. Militants, armed and radicalized by Pakistan’s terror machinery, stormed the idyllic Baisaran Valley and executed civilians based on their religion. Forced to recite Islamic verses under the barrel of a gun, those who failed paid with their lives. Twenty-six innocent people, many of them Hindus, were butchered in cold blood while the world — and parts of our own country — carried on with their routines as if nothing had happened. This wasn’t just a terror attack; it was the clearest reminder that Pakistan and its proxies seek nothing less than the religious cleansing of Indian soil.
In response to this massacre, an emotional protest erupted in Karnataka. Activists from the Bajrang Dal, enraged and heartbroken, pasted Pakistani flags on the roads — a symbolic act to show where Pakistan and its hateful ideology truly belong: beneath our feet. It was an act born out of the anguish of millions who watched the Pahalgam news with clenched fists and tears in their eyes. Yet what should have been understood as an outpouring of national grief and anger was instead manipulated by a section of society desperate to maintain its self-imposed delusion.
Within minutes, two Muslim women were seen removing the flags from the streets. Some rushed to celebrate them as heroes. A simple question must be asked: since when did removing a protest flag become an act of patriotism, while the real horror — the butchering of innocent Indians — fades into the background? This wasn’t patriotism. This was an instinctive attempt to shield the growing embarrassment that pro-Pakistani sympathizers exist comfortably within India. The anger was not against the protest; the anger was at the exposure. They weren’t defending India’s honor — they were trying to put a bandage on a wound that they themselves had long ignored, if not silently nurtured.
Meanwhile, the reality of the threat continues to emerge from the shadows. Home Minister Amit Shah’s directive to identify and deport all Pakistani nationals could not have come at a more critical time. Across India, illegal Pakistani citizens — many having entered via porous borders or forged documents — have been discovered living in plain sight. In Hyderabad, a Pakistani man illegally married an Indian woman by hiding his identity. In Karnataka, a verification drive uncovered dozens more. Across South India, over 600 Pakistani nationals have been identified for deportation. These are not isolated accidents. This is infiltration by design, using our complacency as the vehicle.
Yet for decades, political correctness has paralyzed us. Appeasement, vote-bank politics, and the obsessive fear of being labeled “intolerant” have allowed enemies to dig roots into Indian society. We bend over backwards to protect sentiments while our own security is hacked to pieces. Every illegal sympathizer left unchecked, every radical allowed to grow unchecked, is a dagger pointed not just at India’s heart but at its very future.
It is time to face the truth. We must stop pretending that the enemy will come waving foreign flags and screaming war cries. Sometimes, the enemy will remove a sticker from the road. Sometimes, it will quote peace while secretly celebrating slaughter. The survival of India demands more than emotional protests; it demands unapologetic action. Mass deportation of illegal Pakistanis, aggressive monitoring of sympathizers, and a ruthless commitment to national security are no longer options — they are necessities.
Nations fall not because enemies are stronger, but because traitors are tolerated. India has survived centuries of invasion, bloodshed, and betrayal. But no country can survive when the enemy is allowed to live comfortably inside its home, shielded by cowardice, fed by political opportunism, and disguised in the robes of fake secularism.
The enemy lives among us. And unless we wake up, act decisively, and reject the poison of political correctness, we will find ourselves mourning a nation that committed suicide by kindness.
The enemy outside cannot destroy India — but the traitor within surely can. Wake up before we are buried by our own cowardice.
