In the digital age, wars aren’t only fought with guns and tanks—they’re also waged through tweets, TikToks, trending hashtags, and algorithmic manipulation. For decades, India and Pakistan have been locked in a complex and emotionally charged rivalry, but today, that conflict has spilled onto a new front: social media.
Welcome to the war of narratives, where likes, shares, and viral content are shaping public opinion, influencing policy, and even threatening national security.
A Digital Battlefield
Platforms like Twitter (X), YouTube, and Instagram have become the new trenches of Indo-Pak conflict. Politicians, influencers, bot accounts, and even regular citizens have taken up arms in the form of:
- Propaganda videos
- Meme wars
- Emotional appeals to nationalism
- Misleading news clips
- AI-generated “proofs” or deepfakes
Each time a border skirmish occurs or a political statement is made, both sides rush to dominate the digital conversation. The goal? Control the global perception.
