    Live in India. Today is a mock drill for public awareness and war readiness.

    Electricity to entire cities would be cutoff and warning sirens would be called.

    Goverment is really aggressive in this matter. There is massive political anger against Pakistan after the terrorist attacks.

      Is there thinking among the locals that a big war might break out? Or do more people think it will just be small border skirmishes?

        This time is might be something big.

        Such mock drills, blackout drills, sirens and other public awareness campaigns were not conducted since 1971 war.

        Also I work at a textile mill which produces a lot of domestic textiles, many of our buisness clients have instructed to hold their orders until the situation escalates down.

        I would say definately not normal border skirmish because people all over india were never bothered by those this time buisness are actually taking precautions.

      This was expected, no way India would not retaliate after that terrorist attack by Pakistan based terror groups. This attack was mostly on terror camps and no military sites were targeted. Hopefully both would de-escalate after this.

    It’s like some people on this planet, that we SHARE, just wants to kill someone else. I can’t wait until we wipe ourselves out of existence; the planet will be better for it.
