India’s diplomatic pressure on Pakistan has intensified amid escalating unrest in Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PoK), where protests against economic hardships are growing. Prime Minister Modi’s recent address highlighted India’s military readiness, particularly in light of the successful Operation Sindoor, and reinforced the message that there can be no dialogue while terrorism persists. Additionally, India has taken steps to restrict water flows under the Indus Waters Treaty, further exacerbating Pakistan’s economic and environmental challenges. As Islamabad grapples with internal dissent and international scrutiny over its governance, India’s strategic posture seeks to reshape the regional balance, compelling Pakistan to address its domestic issues while facing external pressures.
