‘Peace, Not War,’ Say Brown Uni Students on India-Pak Crisis

“Peace too is patriotic,” say students and teachers at Brown University.

“War is not understood by most people.”

The tensions between India and Pakistan may have de-escalated with the return of Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan but war mongering and jingoism goes on. The two countries must also wage a war against feverish and uncritical nationalist discourse. Perhaps the best weapon one has against this is solidarity.

Indian, Pakistani, and international students from Brown University held a protest in this spirit of solidarity and called for peace in the South Asian region.
