How hybrid warfare is becoming new normal?
ISLAMABAD:
Over the past 15 years, Pakistan in particular and the world at large have struggled against a multitude of hybrid threats from various geopolitical actors – from Daesh and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan to corporate propaganda machines like Cambridge Analytica.
Designed to exploit major fault lines, these hybrid warfare techniques extend far beyond the military realm and resort to the synchronised use of political misinformation and economic tools to escalate conflict horizontally instead of vertically and hence make hybrid attacks less visible.
One example of such a hybrid conflict is India’s subtle propaganda strategy after it revoked Article 370 to end the special status of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
One can tune in to 92.7 BIG FM Jammu, while driving from Lahore to Gujrat via GT Road during morning rush hours, and learn about the history of Jammu and Kashmir that glamorises the Dogra rule.
