The recent Israeli strikes inside Iran have once again exposed the shifting fault lines of modern geopolitics. What at first glance appears to be a military campaign is, in fact, the visible face of a deeper ideological war. At the center of this new global alignment is a dangerous convergence between Zionism and Hindutva, two extremist ideologies now working hand in hand to marginalize, suppress, and dismantle the political and spiritual foundations of the Muslim world.
This alliance is not a new phenomenon. It has developed quietly over the past decade, with mutual visits, intelligence sharing, defense deals, and an open embrace of each other’s nationalist agendas. Israel sees in India a regional partner that does not question its war crimes in Gaza. India sees in Israel a model for authoritarian control, surveillance, and military domination. Together, they form an axis that does not hide its disdain for Islam or its hostility toward Muslim resistance.
Both Netanyahu and Modi are products of movements that reject multiculturalism. They thrive on division and portray Muslim populations as threats. Netanyahu’s policies have turned Gaza into an open air prison, while Modi’s regime has turned Kashmir into a garrison. The victims in both cases are Muslims. The methods are different, but the objective is the same: to crush Muslim autonomy, silence dissent, and erase Islamic identity from contested spaces.
This ideological partnership has extended beyond rhetoric. On the battlefield, the Indo Israeli nexus is visible in the flow of weapons, drones, cyber tools, and surveillance systems. Indian forces have used Israeli made drones in operations against civilian populations in Pakistan. RAW has adopted Israeli intelligence tactics to penetrate neighboring Muslim nations, including Iran. The recent precision attacks on Iranian facilities raise disturbing questions about the source of real time intelligence. The evidence points toward Indian involvement, acting as Israel’s regional intelligence partner under the guise of economic collaboration.
Pakistan has long warned that the convergence of Hindutva and Zionism poses a threat to the entire Muslim world. Our warnings were dismissed as exaggeration. Today, Iranian cities are being bombed with accuracy that no satellite alone could provide. This is not the result of random aggression. It is the result of shared strategy, shared intelligence, and a shared contempt for Muslim sovereignty.
The reaction from the wider Muslim world has been muted, if not entirely absent. That silence is dangerous. Because this axis, once successful in Iran, will not stop there. Every Muslim country that resists Western or Zionist control is on the list. Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan, Turkey, and beyond. Each is vulnerable if this alliance remains unchecked.
Pakistan has faced the wrath of this axis before. On 6 and 7 May, Indian forces, possibly guided by Israeli technology, targeted civilian infrastructure inside Pakistani territory. Mosques, schools, and homes were damaged in acts of aggression that clearly violated international law. Yet Pakistan stood its ground, neutralized incoming threats, and refused to be intimidated. That is the model the Muslim world must adopt. Vigilance, resistance, and solidarity.
The deeper tragedy is that some Muslim states still entertain India as a friendly power, ignoring the ideological poison of Hindutva. Iran must now realize that RAW’s presence inside its territory is not benign. It is part of a network that enabled one of the most surgical Israeli operations in years. A network that pretended to be a development partner but acted as a silent enabler of war.
The meeting point of Zionism and Hindutva is not only on maps or battlefields. It is in the shared ambition to redefine global power, erase Muslim narratives, and secure dominance by all means necessary. The Muslim Ummah must now decide whether it will continue watching from the sidelines or finally recognize the enemy standing in plain sight.
