Pakistan and India Exchange Fire as UN calls for 'maximum restraint'
Following a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, that resulted in the deaths of 26 people, 25 Indians and one Nepalese, tensions between India and Pakistan have sharply increased. India accuses Pakistan of supporting the militants responsible, believed to be linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba group. In response, India suspended visa services for Pakistani nationals, called for them to leave the country, and withdrew from a 65-year-old Indus water-sharing treatyâan act Pakistan deems a potential act of war. Tensions heightened following cross-border firing along the Line of Control, though Pakistan asserts no civilian areas were targeted. Pakistan denied involvement in the attack, challenging India to provide evidence, and closed its airspace to Indian airlines. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to seek justice, possibly through military or covert means, though experts warn of the high cost of conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors. The UN has urged both countries to show restraint. The situation has spurred fears of further escalation, particularly given the symbolic nature of civilian casualties and emotionally charged public reactions, such as widely circulated images of grieving survivors .

This essay traces that journey through time and dives into the gradual erosion of boundaries social, familial, spiritual and how they manifest in the way we dress.
