Twenty-eight people were killed in a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, a tourist resort in Indian Kashmir. Among the dead are citizens of India along with Nepal and UAE. Condolences were expressed over the death of its citizen Sudip Neupane in Nepal.

At the same time, concern was also expressed from the level of the President-Prime Minister of Nepal regarding this accident that happened to neighboring friendly country India. The pain of Pahalgam was deeply understood not only because it is a close neighbor but also because of the relationship between the two countries since time immemorial. From the streets to the parliament, the voice against terrorism rang out.

The rising tension between India and Pakistan has led to war. There is no way that Nepal will remain unaffected by the mutual relations between these two neighbors that are close to Nepal. But this time a Nepalese citizen was killed in the Pahalgam attack because he had a particular religious identity.

Nepalis have been victims of such terrorist violence in other countries in the past. But this time the geo-political dimension of this event is different. Former king Gyanendra Shah also opened his mouth this time.

attackers preferred only Hindu male identity. It is said that he searched and tried to find out. It didn't matter to him which country he was a resident of. That question remained secondary. They targeted only one religion. South Asian countries are a diverse region. Such actions risk deepening religious divisions.

Terrorists wanted to create the aftershocks of religious conflict in this plot by indiscriminately on the basis of religious identity. After Bangladesh, the Pahalgam case has raised a question, which is also heard in Nepal. How to avoid organized and continuous efforts to create narrowness in the vision of one community to another community? 

terrorism is perpetrated by those fundamentalists who are completely indifferent to the sanctity of human life. Even though the international community is divided over the universal definition of terrorism, it is still forced to deal with it. Pahalgam also pointed out that terrorism is not an accident. Terrorism is carefully planned. And, unless attacked, it remains invisible. This is a special aspect of terrorism. Neither time nor place can be predicted.

There is a tendency to use terrorism as a tool in geopolitical competition. State-sponsored terrorism finds its place in this. Camouflage is used to spread geo-political competition, control resources, create instability, polarize communities, and spread fear. The geopolitics of terrorism is complex, insidious and brutal.

Diplomats say, if your country is doing something and the neighbor's interest is reflected in it, it is geo-politics. Similarly, if your country is doing something with another country, if the interest of the third country is seen, it is geo-politics. While assuring neighboring India about its security concerns, handling its own security sensitivities has become an equal responsibility. This is also the time to ponder whether many parties are intolerant towards the open border with India and the mutual relationship between Nepal and India. It is time to trust our integral neighbor India.

terrorist processes, characters and consequences completely change the preconceived meaning of everything and every word. They tend to play word games. His words are like a magician's hat, where something big comes out of a small hole. As soon as the context of the words changes, the meanings are rejuvenated. Words are freed from their limited and conventional meanings. These references are uncomfortable questions. Some regional commentaries that emerged after Pahalgam should be viewed in a similar light.

Cleansing He gives, who is not clean. Washed and clean clothes never bother the laundromat. This is a historical fact. It was born in response to the opposition of Pakistan, India and Hindus. His existence is maintained on this negative basis. Pakistan has its own problems. In 1947, Pakistan was separated from India.

which is called 'Pakistani culture', did it emerge during his own birth? Or the common culture of India and Pakistan started thousands of years ago? The second question arises, what is this thousand years? Whose legacy is Harappa-Mohenjodado? It is in present-day Pakistan, so is it his only legacy? But because it is within his political boundaries? But before partition it was part of India. Muslims are all over the world. Everyone has their own distinct culture. In this case, can any country become a vocal spokesperson of any religion? 

Some things become the nature of people and nations due to utter helplessness, the ineffectiveness of discourse and the coming changes in human sensibilities. Like – murder, unreliability, conspiracy etc. which was once a matter of great concern to the individual, society and country. That is becoming an easily accepted truth. That is why some people saw the brutal shooting of Pahalgam as an interesting 'illusory reality'.

Momentary selfishness does not allow one to see anything, not even one's own future, that one day when he falls somewhere like this, he will repeat the same reaction that he is showing for others today. The point is, terrorists are not soft or lenient. There is no good or bad. Nor can its justification be confirmed on the basis of this or that argument. The reality is that terrorist violence is not an external force, it is an ideological chaos within itself. This is also a matter to be considered.

Choose or despise terror? Because terrorists have a long list. You can become the target of that bullet. Anyone could have been in Sudeep Neupane's place, another Sudeep could be in a similar incident. The recent attack and destruction of Pahalgam is a 'Omen-Signal' for this South Asia. It is mentioned in the famous book Gita – Ye yatha maa prapadyante tansthaiva bhajamyham. Mam vartmanuvartante mannusa: partha sarvashah.'

People are remembering my path in every way. Where is the sectarianism here? All these things need to be revealed again. This is the cultural heritage, it should be understood. To underline this again is the great need of the hour. Capital thinking of any country is its culture. It contains basic beliefs, basic beliefs. There may be a change in the way of life, lifestyle, diet but not in the fundamental beliefs.

In the words of the famous French diplomat Charles Maurice Dey, "In the practical foreign policy of every country, personal ambition, arrogance and overzealousness are prohibited." Pakistan's military establishment always pressures its personal ambition and overzealousness to be a decisive aspect of foreign policy. As soon as the establishment was mentioned, it was born as a status quo. And since the military is dominant in the internal power structure there, its pressure is becoming a reality. The tiger ride is sure to be dangerous for him eventually. But it has proved counterproductive and suicidal for South Asian peace.
