In a world growing increasingly chaotic, the latest revelations by former CIA operative Sarah Adam could not have come at a more critical moment. Her interview, rich in classified insight and field-sourced intelligence, exposes a sinister and elaborate strategy being orchestrated by India—one that not only seeks to eliminate Pakistan-aligned Kashmiri militants but also aims to destabilize Balochistan and undermine the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Sarah Adam’s whistleblowing reveals a two-pronged covert war being waged by India. On one front, India is reportedly collaborating with Taliban factions to assassinate Kashmiri militants on Pakistani soil, specifically those aligned with Pakistan’s military and intelligence services. On the second front, India is accused of utilizing Afghan soil and TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan) infrastructure to arm and finance Baloch separatists—targeting Pakistan’s territorial integrity and its most vital economic artery: CPEC.
According to Sarah Adam, 18 senior Kashmiri figures affiliated with groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Hizbul Mujahideen, and Al-Badr Mujahideen have been systematically eliminated or targeted in recent months by Taliban-linked operatives. Harakat-ul-Mujahideen remains conspicuously untouched—underscoring a selective strategy likely driven by historical ties between Taliban leader Haibatullah Akhundzada and Harakat founder Fazl-ur-Rahman Khalil.
Adam argues that India’s use of Taliban infrastructure is not merely tactical—it is strategic. By removing the “old guard” of Kashmiri militants who are loyal to Pakistan’s institutional framework, India and its Taliban collaborators are paving the way for a new generation of militants—fighters indoctrinated in the ideological warfare of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. These emerging actors, shaped in the fires of Afghanistan’s post-occupation resistance, reject diplomacy, borders, and national loyalty. They envision not political autonomy but an Islamic emirate in Kashmir, formed through unrelenting, decentralized jihad. Their loyalties lie not with Rawalpindi or Islamabad, but with global extremist agendas.
The geopolitical implications are worsened by the fact that this insurgency is being indirectly financed by Western taxpayers. Since 2021, the U.S. and the UN have funneled over $11 billion in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. Intended for civilian relief, much of this aid is reportedly siphoned off by the Taliban through taxes, coercion, and diversion tactics—and then repurposed to fund regional militant operations, including those targeting Pakistan.
Despite efforts in the U.S. Congress to introduce accountability measures—such as the stalled Protecting Death Act—no meaningful action has been taken to plug these financial leaks. Sarah Adam calls this a case of strategic blindness, warning that Western aid is unintentionally funding the next regional war.
Adam describes India’s strategy as a classic case of short-term gain, long-term catastrophe. By weaponizing the Taliban against Pakistani interests, India may have scored a few tactical wins, but it is also creating a monster it cannot control. The second-tier Kashmiri leadership now being cultivated is deeply radical, bound not by nationalism but by jihadist ideology. And while Pakistan may be the immediate target, India will not be immune to their long-term plans.
The Taliban and Al-Qaeda-aligned fighters, once fully entrenched, will have no qualms about shifting their attention toward India—particularly in Kashmir. Their transnational agenda doesn’t distinguish between India and Pakistan; both are seen as secular enemies obstructing their vision of Islamic rule.
One of the most alarming outcomes Sarah Adam highlights is the increased risk of accidental war. Given the current volatility in India-Pakistan relations, even a small, third-party terrorist strike could ignite a massive military confrontation. With both states on hair-trigger alert, a misattributed attack could spiral into a catastrophic war—not between nations by intent, but orchestrated by extremist groups for mutual destruction.
Adam calls this scenario “killing two birds with one stone,” where radical groups manipulate mistrust between India and Pakistan to fuel regional chaos and ideological expansion. Sarah Adam’s revelations extend beyond Kashmir. India is also financing, training, and arming Baloch separatists via TTP networks operating from Afghan soil. These militants, under the guise of “freedom fighters,” have been responsible for killing Pakistani soldiers, police, and civilians, including fellow Baloch who support federal integration and CPEC development.
India’s objective is clear: destabilize Balochistan, interrupt CPEC’s infrastructure rollout, and cripple Pakistan’s economic lifeline. Projects like Gwadar Port, Gwadar International Airport, and trans-provincial road links—all essential components of CPEC—are under constant threat from Indian-backed militants.
But this strategy is also on the brink of collapse. With growing Afghan interest in joining CPEC, and the Taliban regime recognizing the economic and geopolitical advantages of aligning with China and Pakistan, there is a strong chance that the Taliban will pivot toward protecting CPEC rather than attacking it.
Sarah Adam’s testimony is not just intelligence—it is a strategic roadmap for Pakistan’s next moves. Islamabad must act swiftly to internationalize Adam’s findings by presenting them at the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the European Union, and in key world capitals. It must engage with the Taliban-led government in Kabul to dismantle Indian-backed militant camps and cut off funding channels to the TTP.
Domestically, Pakistan should secure all CPEC zones through enhanced surveillance, deploy advanced technology to trace and intercept cross-border infiltration, and intensify efforts to dismantle TTP sleeper cells within the country. Simultaneously, it must expand community engagement, integration, and reconciliation programs to strengthen ideological counter-radicalization efforts, particularly in Kashmir and Balochistan.
Development must be accelerated in Balochistan to address root grievances and deny extremist groups local support. Lastly, Pakistan must urgently brief global powers—especially the United States and China—on the long-term threat of a jihadist takeover in Kashmir, which poses a direct risk to regional and global stability.
India, in its quest to undercut Pakistan, is playing with fire. It has chosen to collaborate with forces that obey no rules, respect no borders, and recognize no diplomacy. By arming Taliban factions and funding separatists, it may have struck at Pakistan’s heart—but it has also invited peril to its own doorstep. The future of Kashmir—and indeed South Asia—now hangs in the balance. If India and the world fail to recognize the gravity of Sarah Adam’s revelations, then the next war may not be fought by nations, but ignited by stateless militants, waging ideological warfare in the name of empires long dead and doctrines long discredited.
India must step back from this brink. Pakistan must rise to the challenge. And the world must understand: the storm is gathering—not between two countries, but within them.
