Scary Reality of War: A Global Perspective

By Levishka Khurana

Romanticising a war is easy but when we adhere to its consequences, reality surfaces making it terrifying. With tensions rising across and beyond borders, speculations about World War III arise. Amidst this chaos, diverse opinions reflect the upcoming state of war. 


The world is witnessing multiple hotspots of conflict. The situation between India and Pakistan has been volatile, with both countries accusing each other of ceasefire violations along the Line of Control. This conflict has claimed numerous innocent lives and has contributed to the escalating tensions. The tensions between China and Taiwan are real, with China establishing claims to portray Taiwan as a part of its territory. The 11-dash line surrounding Taiwan serves towards the rising threat from China. The ongoing conflict between North and South Korea hints conflicts, with periods of heightened tensions. The Russia-Ukraine war has been ongoing since 2014, with significant escalation in 2022, and has had far-reaching implications for global peace and security. The conflict between Israel and Palestine has also contributed to the alarming violence and humanitarian crises in Gaza and surrounding areas.


These conflicts not only claim lives but also indicate a profound impact on the global economy and international relations. The consequences of war are devastating and multi-dimensional, including loss of innocent lives, displacement and destruction of infrastructure. The economic impact is also significant, with trade and commerce suffering greatly. Amongst the rising tensions, educational pursuits are manipulated and the future of the society is displaced towards pessimism. Moreover, the psychological trauma bestowed upon individuals and communities can last for generations. The loss of human life, the destruction of homes, and the displacement of people are all heart-wrenching consequences of war.


In this critical scenario, diplomacy is crucial. Dialogue and negotiations can help resolve conflicts peacefully. International cooperation and understanding are essential facets to prevent the escalating tensions. Nations must prioritise peace and cooperation over conflicts and wearisome activities to avoid the catastrophic impacts of war. By promoting working together and finding peaceful solutions, we can reduce the risk of conflict and promote global stability. It's essential to acknowledge the devastating implications of war and strive for peaceful resolutions.


The current global scenario is alarming, with tensions rising between nations. It's time for world leaders to put aside their differences and work towards a common goal of global peace and stability. As individuals, we must raise awareness about the importance of peace and reframe the foundation of society to a more amicable route. This is not about a single region , it is about global issue with multi-faceted consequences. Only through collective efforts we can hope to create a more peaceful and cooperative world. The pursuit of peace requires a sustained effort from nations and individuals alike. It requires patience, understanding and willingness to listen to different perspectives. By working together, we can create a world where conflicts are resolved through dialogue, rather than violence and aggression. The future of humanity depends on it, and it's essential that we take immediate action to promote peace and stability. With collective efforts, we can build a more peaceful world, where nations can coexist without the threat of war and violence. By choosing diplomacy over aggression, we can build a world where peace is not just a dream, but reality.



Until next time

Signing off,

Very well written. All conflict can solve through dialogues including one's own conflict.

Beyond the Veil : The Paradox within

By Levishka Khurana
When I decided to start this blog, I was advised to tackle sensitive subjects that are deemed acceptable by societal norms. However, I have come to realise that the topics that truly require attention and discussion are often swept under the rug. Witnessing the harsh realities of harassment, threats, and unimaginable crimes against vulnerable individuals connects me to the aspirations I hold, using my words in addressing what needs to be spoken for. It's time to confront the uncomfortable truths that our society often overlooks. The incidents of rape, aggression, assault, harassment, and inhumane abuses are not unique to our society, they're a global concern. Every day, we're exposed to graphic reports that make us question the foundation of our society. It's disheartening to see how these threats are often downplayed or overlooked, leaving victims to suffer in silence. This isn't just a women's issue, it's a societal problem that affects us all. The way ou...

The Pahalgam Tragedy : A Call for Collective Action

By Levishka Khurana
The recent incident in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, brings light to the concerns about the Indian security apparatus. The attack resulted in the loss of 26 people, including 2 foreign nationals and 22 Hindus. The terrorists open fired on tourists, based on their religion under the disguise of army. Intelligence sources suggest that the attack was aided by The Resistance Front, a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy, under the guidance of Saifullah Kasuri, a close aide of Hafiz Saeed.  This incident led to a swift national response, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi cutting short his Saudi Arabia visit and returning to India on Wednesday to chair Cabinet Committee for a Security meeting. Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister met the grieving families of the victims and visited the attack site. Official sources suggest rumours that the victims were associated with intelligence agencies, adding that only one Intelligence Bureau official on leave was killed in front of his family; con...

Age-old struggle : The change we wanted

By Levishka Khurana
Human rights are fundamental entitlements universal to all individuals, irrespective of their background, gender, or nationality. However, the stark reality is that these rights are frequently disregarded, suppressed, or breached. The agenda of such rights is to elevate inequality and institute growth of the society but unfortunately in this modern world, we are is moving backwards.  In India there isn’t one Radhika Yadav , there are many and the number is frightening. I come from a nation where honour killings have been rooted as customs , choosing the societal idea of dignity over humanity. I come from a nation where till present no matter how far women grow, the society always finds a way to pull them back. I come from a society where men are labelled not “manly enough” if they support feminism or support ideas declared wrong by the society. It raises the question that despite advancements on paper women continue to face struggles to attain basic livelihood and human rights , th...
