From Partition to Pahalgam: What We Refuse to See About Ourselves
India weighs its response to Pahalgam attack, gold prices hit historic highs, and memes bridge divides online.
As the Pahalgam attack fuels calls for action, The Quint’s Editor-in-Chief Raghav Bahl weighs realpolitik against rhetoric, exploring India's strategic options. A searing personal essay by Dushyant Arora calls for deeper introspection on the roots of violence in the Indian subcontinent. Meanwhile, social media users from both sides of the border are finding unexpected common ground through the shared language of memes. Tejas Harad brings in the nuance. Also in today's edition, we explain: Why has the abrogation of Article 370 failed to bring 'peace' in Kashmir? And why are gold prices surging to historic highs?
