Wishes in Good Times, Silence in Crisis: Modi’s Birthday Parade vs. pahalgam Reality
On his 75th birthday, Modi Ji was showered with love—from world leaders to global sports stars, from billionaires to Bollywood. The headlines glowed, the timelines overflowed. But when the pahalgam attack struck, that same galaxy of “friends” suddenly went missing. No solidarity. No strong words. Just silence. Here’s what it tells us about the fake world of power and PR:
1. The Birthday Flood
From known to unknown, the world queued up to post wishes. Leaders, tycoons, athletes, film stars—everyone joined the Modi celebration orchestra.
2. The Deafening Silence After Pahalgam
Contrast that with the pahalgam attack. A national tragedy, soldiers martyred. Suddenly, the same people who couldn’t stop tweeting “Happy Birthday” went mute.
3. Formality vs. Reality
Wishing someone on their birthday is easy—it costs nothing. Standing with them in a dark hour requires conviction. That’s where the cheerleaders vanish.
4. Fake World, Fake Support
This is the ugly truth: whether you’re prime minister or a common man, the world loves showing up for photo-ops, hashtags, and PR—but abandons you when the spotlight shifts to suffering.
5. The Mask of Friendship
World leaders and celebs may smile for the cameras, but their loyalty extends only as far as convenience. The minute things get uncomfortable, the mask slips.
6. From Global Statesman to Lonely Silence
The birthday circus made Modi look like the world’s favorite. The aftermath of pahalgam made him look isolated. That gap says everything about modern diplomacy—and human hypocrisy.
🔥 Bottom Line: This world claps loudly when it’s celebration time, but goes heads-down, lips-shut when crisis strikes. Birthday wishes are cheap. True solidarity is priceless—and rare.
