This is how the timelines of blind followers looked

During the bombings and drone attacks: “We want war, we want war. Anyone who doesn’t want war is Anti-National.”

When a ceasefire was announced between India and Pakistan, reportedly with US help: “Ceasefire is good. We’ve taught them a lesson. All their terror camps are destroyed. We don’t really want war—this ceasefire is a masterstroke. Anyone who disagrees is Anti-National.”

When the ceasefire was broken: “We knew this would happen. We should never have agreed to a ceasefire. These Pakistanis can’t be trusted. Go to war—it’s the only solution. Wipe them out or they’ll keep attacking us. Anyone who doesn’t support war is Anti-National.”

Within 24 hours, the WhatsApp keyboard warriors had declared war, agreed to peace, and then called for war again—all from the comfort of their air-conditioned homes. You can’t win with this crowd. They have an explanation for everything. If their leader said a giraffe lays eggs, they’d start claiming they’ve already eaten the omelette—and that it was delicious.
