1. The Uri attack is a wake up call for the strategic security community.

2. The militant attack on an Indian Army base at Uri in Baramullah district in

north Kashmir early on Sunday had more casualties than probably what
even its planners had expected. This is because of secondary effect: 13
soldiers were burnt to death in their tents and shelters. The incident has
impacted the nations psyche forcefully, and justifiably so. The call for
retribution against Pakistan is intense. It will have to be satisfied as
Pakistans carefully crafted policy of calibration to avoid crossing Indias
tolerance level has gone awry. This happened twice before, after the
attacks in Mumbai and on Indias Parliament.

3.

Yet, this time the effect on the public has been stronger because of the
cumulative impact of the Pakistani-sponsored attacks in Poonch on
September 10 and then Uri, and the 72-day-long street agitation in
Kashmir, which has paralysed governance and disempowered the political
community

4. Burhan Muzaffar Wani, also known as Burhan Wani, was a commander of the Kashmirbased Hizbul Mujahideen.[6] He was popular among the Kashmiris due to his activity on social
media and had issued manyphotos and videos on social media against Indian rule in Kashmir.[7]
[8]
He was killed in an encounter with the Indian security forces on 8 July 2016. [6] Widespread
protests have erupted in the Kashmir valley since his death, [9] in which more than 85 people have
died[10][11][12][13] while over 13,000 civilians and more than 4,000 security personnel have been
injured.[14]
5. The violence which erupted after his death has been described as the worst unrest in the region
since the 2010 Kashmir unrest,[15][16] with Kashmir being placed under 53 consecutive days
of curfews imposed by Indian authorities that was lifted from all parts of the region on 31 August
2016.
6. Earlier we saw that the United States blocked the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Pakistani

army. Last month the $300 million of aid to Pakistans military school was also
withdrawn on grounds that the money is being used to sponsor terrorism. It is clear
that US no longer sees Pakistan as an ally and will be there to support Indias
decision for global isolation of Pakistan

3. Operation Parakram: We need to do what Atal Bihari Vajpayee government did in

2001. The eyeball-to-eyeball deployment of troops to borders, closing Indian skies to

Pakistani flights and then calling for a global isolation could work. This time they have
to see that we are bent on aggression too when we want to or are forced to and that
is not going to go well with them.
4. China: Chinas softness and relations with Pakistan is no news. Even when the
powerful nations take a stand against terrorism and go for international isolation of
the country, China will not agree to the terms. It will continue to support and stock
Pakistan with whatever it needs to keep going. The duo is not likely to let global
isolation be a success.
Global isolation is the soft and diplomatic way that India has long tried for and not
succeeded because nations continued to carry out trade and commerce with the
condemned nation. The time is different now. All the major nations and even the third
world nations are growing tired and sick of terrorism. They are more likely to come to
Indias support for internationally isolating the terror mothe
ring nation

Following Uri attack and our soldiers well executed retaliation with a surgical strike,
one debate has been more prominent, even more than the strike and counter strike
actions. All has faded but the one debate continues on whether Pakistani actors and
singers working and earning fortunes in our country need to be kicked out.
The film fraternity has been divided into two with one side supporting that the artists
must be kept out of political dramas and the other side outraging that these antinational elements need to be thrown out since they have no sympathy for our
nationals and martyrs killed at the hands of the terrorists residing in their nation.
Yes
1. No empathy: It is to be noted that Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and Ali Zafar were
the ones to denounce terror attacks in Paris but they kept mum when it came to
offering condolence to the victims of Pathankot and Uri. It clearly shows that though
they earn their bread in our country while staying safe due to our soldiers, they have
no empathy for the lost lives of Indians.
2. Straight denial: It would have been understandable if they were asked to speak
against Pakistan and they refused. Essel Group chairman Subash Chandra
approached the Pakistani actors and asked them to simply condemn the terror
attacks but they straightaway denied. Are they so aware of the fact that terrorism is
actually synonymous of their nation Pakistan?
3. Because we condemned: Our fellow citizens, actors and even politicians
condemned the Peshawar attack on the school that killed hundreds of children. Even
those who openly bear enmity to Pakistan stood against the cruelty. Why is it any

different for the Pakistanis to do that when our soldiers were killed and innocent lives
were lost?
4. They ban our movies: The best example among many Indian movies banned in
Pakistan is Phantom. JuD chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed filed a
plea against the movie and Pakistan was quick to act like the good pet it is to
terrorists. They cannot stand the truth against a terror group. How does is come
upon India to provide employment to Pakistani actors and artists? You ban our
movies, we ban your artists.
5. We support global isolation, dont we? When we want a global isolation of the
terror breeding country, Pakistan, we need to remember to begin the charity at home
first. We need to send back their artists to send a strong message to the whole world
that we are very much serious about the global isolation and not just into some family
drama where we fight and make up.
6. A peaceful protest: Soldiers fighting at the borders is their duty towards their
motherland but what about our duties? As the citizens of a country whose people
and soldiers have bled at the hands of mindless terrorism from this sadistic nation,
we need to do our own peaceful but powerful protest. Banning them is not spreading
hatred, but showing that we care more for the lives of our soldiers than our love for
the artists.
No
1. It is home to them: They have families living back at Pakistan, a nation which is
not known for its understanding and compassion. It is clear that the artists are silent
only because they do not want to risk the lives of their dear ones and also face
hatred and life threatening welcome in their country. They should not be judged
based on their silence.
2. They are being made scapegoats: There are so many other ways in which India
is still dealing and trading with Pakistan. We love their lawn fabric to the core. We are
all for their Coke Studio music. Are we talking to severing all ties? No? It is only the

actors who have nothing to do with politics and diplomacy that are being made
scapegoats of.
3. It is diverting the main agenda: It is unfortunate that all this kicking out actors
and singers are somewhere diverting the main agenda of stressing on the need to
keep retaliating with Pakistan. One counter strike is definitely not enough to maintain
pressure. The terror outfits needs to be tracked all the time and shown their right
place, despite Pakistan being unhappy about it.
4. It wouldnt agitate the terrorists or the government: Remember how the
extremists hate and kill the artists who work in India or Pakistan too for that matter?
They wouldnt be affected if we kick out the artists.
A silent protest from the nation that has taken enough of mindless terrorism from this
diplomatic and sadistic nation would be a ban on the artists of Pakistan. This would
send out a strong message that we wouldnt in any case tolerate the ones who do
not have compassion for humanity and lives of our soldiers
