Naseeruddin Shah phrases the political turmoil India is experiencing axiomatically. His eloquent style puts forth a very powerful idea that the key to destruction and power to propagate dissonance was provided to and , who used the power to consolidate their rule, spread a destructive agenda of Exclusion which has lead to fragmentation of the basic pillars of Indian Society.

Arthur Schopenhauer's work, "The World as Will and Representation" (Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung). It appears in Volume II, Chapter ###VIII, under the section titled "On National Pride."

This quote from Schopenhauer cuts right through the chest-thumping and flag-waving that often accompany discussions of war and conflict. Imagine someone who feels insignificant, someone who lacks personal achievements or a strong sense of self-worth. Schopenhauer suggests that such a person might latch onto the idea of their nation as a source of pride.
Think about it. If you don't feel good about yourself as an individual, it can be tempting to find belonging and value in something larger, like your country. Suddenly, "your" nation's victories become "your" victories, and "your" nation's perceived strengths mask your own insecurities.
But Schopenhauer isn't celebrating this. He's calling it out as a "last resource," something a "miserable fool" resorts to. He's highlighting the absurdity of blindly defending your nation's flaws simply because it's your nation. It's like saying, "Well, I'm not great, but my team is great, so that makes me great by association."

آرتھر شوپنہائر کے اس اقتباس میں جنگ اور تنازعات کے مباحثوں میں اکثر نظر آنے والی سینہ کوبی اور پرچم لہرانے پر کاری ضرب لگائی گئی ہے۔ تصور کریں ایک ایسے شخص کا جو خود کو غیر اہم محسوس کرتا ہے، جس کے پاس ذاتی کامیابیاں یا خود اعتمادی کا مضبوط احساس نہیں ہے۔ شوپنہائر تجویز کرتا ہے کہ ایسا شخص اپنی قوم کے تصور کو فخر کے ایک ذریعہ کے طور پر اپنا سکتا ہے۔
ذرا اس کے بارے میں سوچیں۔ اگر آپ انفرادی طور پر اپنے بارے میں اچھا محسوس نہیں کرتے ہیں، تو کسی بڑی چیز، جیسے اپنے ملک سے تعلق اور قدر تلاش کرنا پرکشش ہو سکتا ہے۔ اچانک، "آپ" کی قوم کی فتوحات "آپ" کی فتوحات بن جاتی ہیں، اور "آپ" کی قوم کی سمجھی جانے والی طاقتیں آپ کی اپنی کمزوریوں کو چھپا لیتی ہیں۔
لیکن شوپنہائر اس کی تعریف نہیں کر رہا ہے۔ وہ اسے ایک "آخری حربہ" قرار دے رہا ہے، جس کا سہارا ایک "بدبخت احمق" لیتا ہے۔ وہ اندھے طور پر اپنی قوم کے نقائص کا دفاع کرنے کی حماقت کو اجاگر کر رہا ہے صرف اس لیے کہ یہ اس کی قوم ہے۔ یہ ایسا ہی ہے جیسے یہ کہنا، "ٹھیک ہے، میں اتنا اچھا نہیں ہوں، لیکن میری ٹیم بہت اچھی ہے، اس لیے اس سے میں بھی اچھا بن جاتا ہوں۔"

🚨 WHY DO INDIA AND PAKISTAN KEEP FIGHTING? 💣
I just published a deep dive into the real war nobody talks about—the Battle of Egos fueled by nationalism, colonial trauma, and media spectacle. 🔥

From Modi’s “surgical strikes” to Pakistan’s “resilience” narratives—this isn’t about Kashmir. It’s about performance: two states trapped in a Hegelian death spiral, sacrificing civilians to feed their pride.

📌 You Won’t Believe:
✅ How Critical Theory exposes the hidden scripts of this conflict (Fanon, Foucault, and Habermas drop truth bombs!).
✅ Why 2025’s missile strikes were less about “security” and more about symbolic dominance.
✅ The military-industrial complex profiting from perpetual hate.

The Military-Industrial Complex: Fueling America's Economy and Endless Wars

Since the end of World War II, the United States has witnessed the rise of a formidable alliance between its military, industry, and political institutions—a phenomenon famously termed the "military-industrial complex" by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his 1961 farewell address. This nexus has not only become a cornerstone of the U.S. economy but has also played a pivotal role in perpetuating continuous military engagements across the globe.

📊 Economic Impact

Defense Spending:
The U.S. defense budget has consistently been among the highest in the world. For instance, in 2023, Lockheed Martin, the largest U.S. military contractor, derived 73% of its consolidated net sales from U.S. government contracts

Employment:
The defense sector is a significant employer. Between 1977 and 1985, defense-related private employment increased from approximately 1.9 million to 3.2 million workers in the US.

🔄 Perpetuation of Conflict

Critics argue that the military-industrial complex has a vested interest in sustaining conflicts to ensure continuous profit.

Andrew Cockburn notes that "the defense budget is not propelled by foreign wars. The wars are a consequence of the quest for bigger budgets"

📚 Notable Works for deeper understanding

"The United States of War" by David Vine
"How Everything Became War and the Military Became Everything" by Rosa Brooks*
"Why We Fight" by Eugene Jarecki

🎬 Cultural Reflections

Films like "Why We Fight" delve into the complexities of America's defense strategies and the economic interests intertwined with them, offering viewers a critical perspective on the nation's military engagements.

The intertwining of economic interests with military endeavors raises essential questions about the motivations behind U.S. foreign policy decisions. As citizens and global observers, understanding this dynamic is crucial for informed discourse on peace, security, and economic priorities.

Perpetuating the conflict is in the interest of the warmongers hence they use their strategic ties to cultivate a conflict until they get what they want, usually mineral wealth or sometimes debt trap. Israel is one of the biggest arms exporter and manufacturer in the world. India has been one of the top clients of Israel. Something doesn't add up. The situation in Ukraine, Palestine, South Sudan and now In Kashmir are all pointing towards a new era of hostilities. Controlled, perpetual conflict for the sake of profit. Shareholders will enjoy while masses will face the brunt force of injustice.

Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Islamic Republic of Iran, has recited some couplets of Allama Iqbal from Payam e Mashriq, with fervour, and by quoting Iqbal, he was saying that they needed to resolve their conflicts by ourselves instead of seeking towards others.

مثل آئینہ مشو محو جمال دگران
از دل و دیدہ فرو شوی خیال دگران
آئینے کی طرح دوسروں کے حسن و جمال پر فریفتہ مت ہو ۔ غیروں کا خیال اپنے دل اور آنکھ سے نکال دے ۔ نہ کسی کی طرف نظر اٹھا کر دیکھ نہ کسی کو دل میں جگہ دے ۔
آتش از نالہ مرغان حرم گیر و بسوز
آشیانی کہ نہادی بہ نہال دگران
حرم کے پرندوں کے نالے سے آگ لے اور جلا ڈال وہ آشیانہ جو تو نے دوسروں کے درخت پر بنایا ہے ۔
در جھان بال و پر خویش گشودن آموز
کہ پریدن نتوان با پر و بال دگران
دنیا میں اپنے بال و پر کھولنا سیکھ کیونکہ دوسروں کے بال و پر سے اڑا نہیں جا سکتا ۔
