Compared with the plain-and-simple adoption system that you would find in a Western legal system, the traditions of Pakistan are not only deeply embedded with Islamic ideology but also enshrined in guardianship legislation such as the Guardians and Wards Act of 1890. The paper considers how these laws attempt to consider the best interests of the child whilst still preserving the rights of biological lineage and the birth parents in accordance with Shariah requirements. It further compares it side by side with the international standards, indicating the key differences in legal recognition, the permanence of parental rights, and the child protection mechanisms. Taking a comparative lens, it unveils loopholes in the existing system and proposes changes that would put child welfare on its feet without undermining religious and cultural values. Comprehensively, the results have indicated that the current legal framework requires a more systematic approach to strike the right balance between the entitlement of adoptive parents, the biological family, and the welfare of the child.","PeriodicalId":41571,"journal":{"name":"Review of Korean Studies","volume":"3 3","pages":"3122-3131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://thecrsss.com/index.php/Journal/article/download/1007/1013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147919940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within hours, Indian media accused Pakistan of orchestrating the attack without credible evidence or forensic proof. This paper examines whether India’s diplomatic and media response was based on hard intelligence or driven by political motives. Indian mainstream and digital media quickly blamed Pakistani-backed militant groups, fueling a narrative of “cross-border terrorism” before any official investigation. This narrative laid the groundwork for Operation Sindoor, an overnight airstrike on alleged militant camps across the LOC, which Indian officials claimed was a “decisive message” to Pakistan. However, independent verification of targets or casualties was lacking. The timing coincided with domestic instability in India, raising questions about whether the operation aimed to deflect from mounting disaffection in Jammu and Kashmir and declining faith in security measures ahead of state elections. Meanwhile, Pakistan denied involvement, condemned the attack as terrorism, and demanded a joint or third-party investigation under the UN or a neutral body. Islamabad also reached out to China, Turkey, and OIC members, criticizing Indian media’s role in stoking tensions without proof. This study investigates the objectivity of India’s claims, analyzes diplomatic reactions from regional neighbors and global powers, and considers the implications of unsubstantiated accusations for regional stability and prospects for peace in South Asia.","PeriodicalId":41571,"journal":{"name":"Review of Korean Studies","volume":"3 3","pages":"48-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://thecrsss.com/index.php/Journal/article/download/664/690","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147907401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a qualitative interpretivist approach, integrating documentary analysis, discourse analysis, and deterrence theory, the research traces India’s doctrinal shift from credible minimum deterrence to a more assertive, flexible posture, characterized by Cold Start operationalization, ambiguity surrounding No First Use, and rapid force modernization including S-400 systems, hypersonic weapons, and deepened U.S. defense ties via LEMOA, COMCASA, and BECA. Pakistan’s response, grounded in Full Spectrum Deterrence and lowered nuclear thresholds, underscores a growing security dilemma, while China’s expanding strategic presence through CPEC, LAC tensions, and Indo-Pacific competition forces India to navigate a complex two-front scenario. The study argues that without urgent arms control, crisis management frameworks, and regional dialogue, this triadic configuration risks inadvertent escalation, miscalculation, and long-term strategic instability in one of the world’s most volatile nuclear theatres.","PeriodicalId":41571,"journal":{"name":"Review of Korean Studies","volume":"3 2","pages":"2350-2359"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147882071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
