In the aftermath of the Pahalgam massacre, where 26 individuals fell victim to Pakistan-backed terrorists, the global community witnessed the typical responses: India’s condemnation, Pakistan’s denial, and the West’s cautious statements. However, a new narrative emerged following this tragic event. Surprisingly, it was not the official statements from New Delhi or Washington that carried the most weight, but the voices of ordinary Pakistanis. They did not rush to defend their government; instead, they chose to satirize it. Through social media, they did not direct their anger towards India but used humor to highlight their own struggles with power outages, fuel scarcities, and economic instability. In a nation grappling with numerous challenges, including post-tragedy sorrow, the mood shifted towards post-collapse satire. Despite the flickering lights, the wit and humor in their punchlines remained sharp.
