On the occasion of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s 75th birthday, a striking commentary from Pakistan has gone viral thanking Modi, not for his policies\u2019 intended outcomes, but for their unintended \u201cbackfire effect.\u201d The piece argues that while Modi sought to isolate and weaken Pakistan, his decisions ended up exposing India\u2019s internal contradictions, revitalizing Pakistan\u2019s diplomacy, and strengthening its confidence. From SAARC 2007 to 2025: Two Different Journeys Back in April 2007, India under Manmohan Singh projected stability at the SAARC summit while Pakistan was struggling to redefine itself. Two decades later, Pakistan claims to have turned its geography into an asset, opened its economy, and strengthened security ironically helped by Modi\u2019s missteps. 10 “Thank Yous” to Mr. Modi For Busting the Myth of Secular India Modi\u2019s tenure exposed fault lines in India\u2019s secular image from the Gujarat riots to the 2025 Bihar elections now even Western media highlights the decline of Indian pluralism. For Validating the Partition Logic The mistreatment of minorities in India, the commentary argues, vindicates the Two-Nation Theory daily. For Clarifying the Kashmir Issue The abrogation of Article 370 is seen as India\u2019s own admission that Kashmiris cannot freely decide their future under New Delhi\u2019s rule. For Endorsing Pakistan\u2019s Hospitality From Abhinandan\u2019s \u201cfantastic tea\u201d in 2019 to Pakistan\u2019s handling of crises, the episode reinforced Islamabad\u2019s softer image. For Proving Pakistan\u2019s Air Superiority From 2019 dogfights to 2025 aerial clashes, Pakistan claims to have demonstrated military strength on India\u2019s stage. For Teaching the Art of Being \u2018Nowhere\u2019 India\u2019s balancing act between QUAD, BRICS, Russia, and the U.S. is described as confused, teaching Pakistan what not to do. For Warning Against \u201cEating at Every Table\u201d India\u2019s trade missteps, from Russian oil deals to tariffs, offered Pakistan a lesson in consistency. For Vacating Regional Leadership By boycotting summits and avoiding dialogue, India is accused of handing South Asian leadership opportunities to others. For Weakening India\u2019s Media Abroad \u201cGodi media\u201d may dominate Indian homes, but the commentary claims it damaged India\u2019s global credibility, benefiting Pakistan\u2019s narrative. For Raising Concerns in the Muslim World Modi\u2019s embrace of Netanyahu and Israeli arms in 2025 reignited skepticism in Muslim capitals that had tilted toward India. A Final Word to Modi \u201cMr. Modi, on your 75th birthday, Pakistanis owe you thanks for achievements you never intended,\u201d the commentary concludes, inviting citizens to add more \u201cthank yous\u201d on Modi\u2019s official X handle @narendramodi or via his official website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
