Title: “Why Are We Fighting Over 30 Deaths?” – What Our Kids Need to Know About Patriotism and Pain
==========================

“It’s just 30 people who died… why are we having a war for that?”
===========================

That’s what my child asked after watching the news about the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam—where 30 innocent civilians lost their lives.

It shook me—not because he was being insensitive, but because this is how disconnected today’s children feel from the idea of national loss.

And maybe, just maybe, we haven’t helped them feel connected enough.

Why Do Kids Seem Unmoved?
========================
We live in an age where everything—news, tragedy, even death—is just a scroll away.
Violence is part of video games. “30 deaths” sounds like a number, not a reality.

But behind that number were 30 dreams. 30 families. 30 lives—taken not by accident, but by hate.
If we don't teach kids the human side of such incidents, they’ll see war as headlines, not heartbreak.

How Can We Explain This to Our Children?
========================
When your child asks, “Why are we reacting so much for 30 civilian deaths?” try saying:

“Those 30 people were like you and me—maybe parents, tourists, or students.”
“Their lives mattered. They were killed for being Indian. That’s not okay.”
“When injustice like this happens, it’s not just news. It’s about standing up for what’s right.”

Let the conversation be emotional, not just logical.

Are Our Kids Losing Patriotism?
==========================
They aren’t unpatriotic. They’re uninformed.
They’ve grown up in a digital world—more connected to Marvel heroes than to our own real-life heroes.

But this can change—with us.

What Can We Do to Instill Patriotism with Heart?
============================
1. Talk About Real Stories
Tell them about Major Vikram Batra, or victims of attacks. Share emotion, not just facts.

2. Let Them Ask Tough Questions
Don’t shush their questions. Use them to talk about justice, empathy, and peace.

3. Build Emotional Connection
Take them to memorials, share books, and make Independence Day more than food and photos.

4. Show It Through Action
Patriotism isn’t just waving a flag. It's also keeping streets clean, helping others, and standing up for what’s right.

Final Reflection
==============
Your child may not tear up seeing the flag.
They may not feel rage hearing about innocent lives lost.

But they’re watching you.

If you explain the “why” behind the pain, and show them every Indian life matters—
They’ll grow up feeling it too.

Not just as citizens.
But as humans.
