The Deafening Silence: Unveiling India's Calm amidst Chaos

In the cacophony of global affairs, the silence emanating from Pakistan regarding India's internal upheavals raises eyebrows and incites curiosity. Why does Pakistan appear so placid in the face of turmoil across the border?

The government, purportedly led by only two politicians, presents a facade of stability while the majority of ministers seem relegated to the role of mere puppets, devoid of significant influence or authority. One of the most glaring consequences of this consolidation of power is the erosion of transparency within the Indian government. Apathy pervades the populace as they remain oblivious to the identities and functions of key governmental ministries. Such ignorance further exace...
