The clarion voice of Retired Indian Navy Captain Anil Gaur rings out: Pakistan is nowhere near reforming, clinging to destructive habits that fuel regional instability. In a hard-hitting commentary, the defense expert unraveled the multifaceted crisis gripping Pakistan, urging heightened caution from India.
Gaur’s verdict is unequivocal, rooted in years of observing Pakistan’s maneuvers. ‘No lessons learned from 1971 or 1999; they’re primed for more misadventures,’ he declared. This assessment gains urgency with intelligence inputs on infiltrating militants.
He dissected the economy’s freefall—hyperinflation, power shortages, and youth unemployment breeding despair. ‘Instead of reforms, they export terror to distract,’ Gaur charged. The FATF grey list lingers, a testament to half-hearted crackdowns.
On the societal front, Gaur decried the madrassa proliferation and blasphemy laws stifling dissent. ‘Reform starts with minds; Pakistan’s are chained to medievalism,’ he stated. ISI’s shadow looms over judiciary and elections alike.
Defensively, Gaur advised India to accelerate indigenous tech like BrahMos and Tejas. Pakistan’s alliance with Turkey and China, he said, is compensatory bluster.
Captain Gaur ended on a pragmatic note: India’s patience shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness. Pakistan must choose reform or irrelevance. Until genuine steps emerge, vigilance remains the watchword in this high-stakes chessboard.
