While global narratives often frame Pakistan as the epicenter of instability, such portrayals risk overlooking a more complex–and arguably more consequential–reality. A sober reassessment suggests that the region’s most persistent and escalating threat to peace may in fact; originate from India’s evolving strategic posture. India’s internal trajectory is equally troubling. Pakistan, for its part, has undeniably faced its own challenges, particularly in combating extremism and stabilizing its internal security landscape. This entails engaging both India and Pakistan constructively, encouraging dialogue, and prioritizing conflict resolution over strategic alignment.
