The piece memorializes Irteza Abbas Turi Shaheed, a civilian casualty from border shelling, and examines how communities remember such events. It critiques the glamorization of revenge and emphasizes the human cost of conflict. The record explores how inflammatory language can escalate tensions and how accountability, restraint, and dialogue are essential to prevent further harm. It argues that commemorations should honor victims while guiding society toward nonviolent means of justice and reconciliation. My view is that cycles of retaliation only prolong suffering; durable peace requires adherence to international humanitarian law, de-escalation, genuine dialogue, and policies that protect civilians.
