Overview

Comparative critical discourse analysis reveals contrasting strategies in war narratives by India and Pakistan.

Key Points

  • Military narratives reveal how both nations justify retaliation and frame violence within statecraft, influencing national identity.
  • India's Ministry of Defence employs terms like 'precision engagement' while Pakistan uses religious symbolism to legitimize responses.
  • Grounded in Fairclough’s model, the analysis illustrates diverse rhetorical strategies but similar structural patterns in discourse.
  • The study underscores the role of language in shaping ideological narratives during conflict and war communication.
