In this personal vlog, journalist Kaberi Dutta Chatterjee, a Canadian‑based Indian, addresses her 6,000‑plus subscribers to express deep concern over the escalating border tensions between India and Pakistan. She celebrates the imminent release of Pakistani Wing Commander Avinandan, calling it a humane gesture under the Geneva Convention. Chatterjee argues that ordinary Indians and Pakistanis do not harbor hatred toward each other; instead, media outlets in both countries amplify hostility and risk war. She urges viewers worldwide to stop consuming sensationalist news, as it shapes public opinion and fuels conflict. Drawing on her cultural experiences—enjoying Pakistani food, music, and friendships—she blames the British‑imposed partition for historical division. Finally, she advocates for a joint Indo‑Pakistani campaign against terrorism, urging both governments to view terrorism as a common enemy and to cooperate rather than fight each other. She concludes with a plea for peace, asking viewers to comment, share, and spread the message.

Hello guys, making this video after a long time, and this time this video is not going to be about life in Canada. I am really, really disturbed about what is going on in the border between Pakistan and India, and we are, we are like living 12,000 kilometers away. We cannot even go there and do something. About it, but we can express our opinions, right? So because of that, number one. Number 2 is because I have more than almost 6,000 subscribers in my channel, so I guess I— my opinion will be seen by a number of people, and they need to know what is— what we feel, what the world feels about this whole thing. Number 3 is I'm a journalist. And I think my opinion, I need to express my opinion, and no better way than my own channel. So I'm very glad, very happy that pilot Avinandan, Wing Commander Avinandan is being released, is going to be released tomorrow, that is on Friday. I just hope I'm, when I'm talking this When you're watching this, he's already been released and he's already back home. We just want to, you know, celebrate this whole thing. And it has been—I must repeat and tell you very, very categorically—though it has been under the Geneva Convention, but it is indeed an extremely good gesture on the part of Pakistan to release this brave heart, brave heart. Because every soldier, whether it's a Pakistani soldier or an Indian soldier or a Canadian soldier, every soldier deserves to be treated. respect. No soldier deserves to be, you know, the, um, the victim of hatred from any— and most importantly, I'm seeing— what I'm seeing is neither Indians nor Pakistanis want war. They don't— they do not hate each other. Like, we have— I have Pakistani friends over here. My husband works with Pakistani guys. Nobody is— they're all friends. We are all friends over here. I mean, how do you even think of enmity? I don't think any Pakistani or any Indians are at enmity with each other, with one another. I see Pakistani serials, I watch, I love Pakistani food, I love Pakistani music, ghazals, Sufi. We have the best of musicians from them. In fact, we were one at one point, okay? So it's the British who divided us. So it's not that we wanted to be divided. It was the British who divided us. So we all know that. So why? And since there is no hatred that is being harbored by the among the people, why are the news channels spreading such hatred? I don't understand. Why are the news channels you know like they are going all out to accelerate the situation and instigate war? I would implore. I would really implore all of you. Whether you're watching from Pakistan, India, anywhere, Egypt, Canada, anywhere if you're watching this from, please stop watching the news channels because whether you like it, whether you want it or not, they're going to affect you and they're going to affect your decision and your opinion, right? And these news channels are not being fair. Neither the Pakistan news channels are being fair, nor the Indian news channels. They're all trying to, you know, instigate each other. They're trying to instigate the people around you. And they're trying to— they're not doing something which is noble. They're not trying to de-escalate the situation, they're trying to escalate the situation, at least among the people. So when you are watching that, it will have some kind of an impact on you, those, those words. Stop watching the news channels for a while, give them a break, and let them come back to their senses. Let the news channels come back to their senses. And I would request you, please stop watching news channels because that will, that will affect your own Opinion. I'm sure nobody wants war. You know what is what war is all about. So nobody wants war, and nobody wants our soldiers to die. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants their families devastated. Right? So please, if you really think the way I'm thinking, please write a comment below. Or even if you think something else, you can write a comment and like this channel and share and like this video, share and please share it among your friends. Please. Stop this war. That's all I can say. I have seen that Indians and Pakistanis are not at war with each other. The common general citizens are completely at peace. They want peace, and most importantly, when this there's another thing I would like to mention. When this these terrorists have become so like vile, they become such a big threat to both the countries. I think it's time. It's really time for both the countries to jointly wage a war against terrorism. Why doesn't Pakistan think this to be a favor done, a kind of an opportunity, a golden opportunity to team up with India and strike the JEM hideouts? What is stopping them? How much of political gain will you, um, with both the countries, due respect to both the countries, will you gain out of this. Please strike them and finish terrorism. I'm sure all the countries will be with you if once you start this war on terrorism. Please start this war on terrorism and not on each other. Please don't be kids, don't be like children. Please understand the, the threat that is looming over both your heads. So understand the threat and jointly work together so as such that we have a common enemy, like Wasim Akram said. वासन अक्रम वासन अक्रम हस सेड दैट वी हैव ओनली वी हैव वन एनिमी। वी आर नॉट एनिमीज़ ऑफ़ इच अदर। वी हैव वन एनिमी एंड दैट इज़ द टेररिस्ट। सो व्हाट्स स्टॉपिंग यू फ्रॉम गोइंग गोइंग फॉर द टेररिस्ट जॉइनली? आई डोंट अंडरस्टैंड दिस। आई एम आई फेल तू अंडरस्टैंड ह मैच्योर प्लीज ग्रोअप एंड डू दिस एंड नॉट वी फाइट विथ इच अदर ओके दैट्स ऑल आई हैव टू से एस अ जर्नलिस्ट एस अ पर्सन एस अ ह्यूमन बीइंग एस अ एस एन इंडियन स्टेइंग अब्रॉड ऑल आई कैन से इज प्लीज स्टॉप दिस से नो टू वॉर थैंक यू फॉर वाचिंग एंड शेयर दिस चैनल
