Fighter jets are slicing across the sky. Television screens are filled with warnings of impending conflict. National leaders are vowing a decisive response to any military action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But beneath Pakistan\u2019s drumbeat of defiant declarations as tensions erupt with India, a weary Pakistani public sees war as the last thing the country needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The gap between official talk and civilian exhaustion reveals a country grappling with deeper fragilities. Economic hardship and political resignation course through everyday life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On university campuses and in living rooms, conversations are less about battles and borders and more about inflation, unemployment, a political system that feels unrepresentative and a future clouded by uncertainty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt makes me feel uneasy,\u201d said Tehseen Zahra, 21, a university student in Islamabad, the capital, a week after a terrorist attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir inflamed the longstanding enmity between India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI get that leaders want to show strength,\u201d she added. \u201cBut talking about war feels like too much. We already have too many problems. We need peace, not more trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Just buying groceries is a strain for her family, she said, after prices have risen by as much as 30 percent annually in recent years. \u201cThey talk a lot,\u201d she said, referring to politicians, \u201cbut we don\u2019t see much change. It feels like they don\u2019t understand what people are going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even among those who hold on to patriotism, there is a recognition of the country\u2019s immense challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI feel the country is much weaker today because of economic struggles and political instability,\u201d said Inamullah, 25, a student in Islamabad who goes by one name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, Pakistanis remain resilient. On social media, memes mocking the idea of war \u2014 often also poking fun at what many Pakistanis see as Indian warmongering \u2014 have circulated widely, a dark form of humor that many see as a coping mechanism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s resilience, yes,\u201d said Javeria Shahzad, a psychotherapist in the eastern city of Lahore. \u201cBut it\u2019s also a distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Shahzad said that over the past few years, she had seen a grinding despair among her clients as political crackdowns shrink freedoms and the country navigates one of its worst economic crises in decades. \u201cPeople have become very anxious,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The military has long held a central role in Pakistani life, not just defending the country\u2019s borders, but also influencing its politics behind the scenes. It has traditionally commanded deep public loyalty, often emerging as the unifying force during national crises, including repeated wars with India.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During the last major flare-up between the two countries, when militants killed dozens of Indian security forces in Kashmir in 2019 and passions surged on both sides of the border, the Pakistani military\u2019s hold on public sentiment remained strong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Today, such emotions are much more complicated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While expressions of loyalty to the military persist, they are often tempered by frustration and anger. The political turmoil that followed the ouster of Imran Khan as prime minister in 2022 \u2014 and the sweeping crackdown on his supporters that followed \u2014 has left scars across society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Khan, once favored by the military establishment, had a falling-out with the generals and was removed. Since then, thousands of his supporters have been jailed, and many party leaders have been forced to defect or go underground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe respect, love, ownership by the masses has been dented,\u201d said Mohsin Leghari, who was a minister in a provincial government during Mr. Khan\u2019s time in power. \u201cEveryone knows someone who has been mistreated,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Aaliya Hamza, a former lawmaker from Mr. Khan\u2019s party who has been jailed and subjected to police torture and house arrest, said the military now risked losing the public support it needed in moments of national crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf you don\u2019t have public support, what will happen?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Hamza argued that Mr. Khan \u2014 even while imprisoned \u2014 should be included in the national conversation, an idea that current opposition politicians have also floated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So far, the government has shown little inclination to reach out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Relations between Pakistan\u2019s army chief, Gen. Syed Asim Munir, and Mr. Khan have remained adversarial. During the 2019 crisis between Pakistan and India, General Munir served as director general of the powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency. Mr. Khan removed him a few months later and opposed his appointment as army chief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Analysts describe General Munir as a hard-liner on India, with a leadership style shaped by his background in military intelligence. Critics argue that his tenure has coincided with a deepening of the military\u2019s dominance over Pakistan\u2019s political landscape, limiting avenues for dissent and dialogue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The political divisions in Pakistan come at a precarious time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Pakistan\u2019s western border remains volatile, with militant groups like the Pakistani Taliban and Afghan Taliban fighters stepping up attacks. This week, Pakistani security forces said they had killed 54 militants during a two-night operation to repel an infiltration near the Afghan frontier. In the southwest, a low-level separatist insurgency has simmered for years, becoming more lethal recently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The country\u2019s economic challenges only deepen the anxiety. The government recently secured another bailout from the International Monetary Fund, and officials have been promising relief to a weary public. But for many Pakistanis, the promised economic turnaround feels distant and slow to trickle down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Pakistan\u2019s finance minister, Muhammad Aurangzeb, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/climate-energy\/pakistan-requests-extra-10-bln-yuan-china-swap-line-says-finance-minister-2025-04-26\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">has said that the economic fallout<\/a> from the tensions with India was \u201cnot going to be helpful\u201d to the country\u2019s fragile recovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For many, the struggle to get by and the fear of armed conflict now feel like parts of the same burden. And the pain is particularly acute in the part of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the Neelum Valley, the once-busy tourist resort town of Keran now lies empty. The guesthouses are quiet. Residents say that tourists have stopped coming since the terrorist attack across the border in Indian Kashmir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Raja Amjad, who runs a tourism business, said that the authorities had not imposed an official ban on tourists but that there was little need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople don\u2019t want to risk it,\u201d he said. \u201cNo one is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Athmaqam, a town near the so-called Line of Control dividing Kashmir, Saadia Bibi, 40, has cleared out a bunker behind her home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe firing hasn\u2019t started yet, but it can come any time,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m getting it ready for my children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Across the country, many young Pakistanis see hope only in leaving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhat actually gets to most of us is trying to become independent in a suffocating country like Pakistan,\u201d said Zara Khan, 31, who works in the corporate sector in Islamabad. \u201cWe don\u2019t have adequate resources. The job market is pathetic. Raising a family is a distant dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cStaying here,\u201d she added, \u201cis utterly bleak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Jalaluddin Mughal<!-- --> contributed reporting from Muzaffarabad, Kashmir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armed convoys are rumbling toward Pakistan\u2019s border with India.
