Overview

This analysis reveals how national identity and legitimacy shape military narratives in Pakistan and India, suggesting differing rhetorical strategies involved.

Key Points

  • Findings highlight how Pakistan's military narrative uses assertive language and war metaphors to frame a decisive victory.
  • India’s military communication adopts a cautious tone, employing passive constructions and diplomatic language to assert moral superiority.
  • Both narratives use inclusive pronouns and strategic ambiguity around the ceasefire to maintain institutional credibility.
  • The research underlines how military discourse influences collective memory and perceptions of legitimacy in conflict settings.
