Strategic Pragmatism: A One-Year Retrospective on the 2025 Pahalgam Security Incident

While the movement faced immediate tactical setbacks, the long-term impact was the forced formulation of a new roadmap—one that prioritizes ideological continuity and the reclamation of intellectual strongholds over previous strategic blunders.
