Claim

Every war between India and Pakistan since 1947 was started by Pakistan, and whenever India extended a hand of friendship, Pakistan stabbed it in the back.

“1947 से लेकर अब तक भारतपाकिस्तान में जितनी जंग हुई है वो पाकिस्तान ने शुरू की है। भारत ने जब भी दोस्ती का हाथ आगे बढ़ाया पाकिस्तान ने पीठ में छुरा फूंका है।”

Rationale

For the 1947–48 (Pakistan-backed tribal invasion of Kashmir), 1965 (Pakistan's Operation Gibraltar infiltration) and 1999 Kargil (Pakistani cross-LoC intrusion) wars, mainstream and independent sources support that Pakistan initiated hostilities. However, the sweeping absolute 'every war' is contestable for 1971: while Pakistan fired the first formal shots (Operation Chengiz Khan, 3 Dec 1971), India had already intervened militarily in East Pakistan and was backing the Mukti Bahini beforehand, so standard histories characterize 1971 as an Indian intervention rather than a Pakistan-initiated war. The second clause ('whenever India extended friendship, Pakistan stabbed it in the back' — e.g. the 1999 Lahore Declaration followed by Kargil) is a rhetorical/subjective characterization, not a discrete verifiable fact. The statement's defensible core is presented as an unqualified absolute that omits India's documented role in 1971, making it misleading rather than fully accurate.

Evidence

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kargil_War The 1999 Kargil War began with Pakistani soldiers (disguised as militants) infiltrating across the LoC into Indian territory — Pakistan initiated it, and the US publicly blamed Pakistan for violating the LoC. ✓ reachable · archived
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chengiz_Khan Pakistan fired the first shots of the formal 1971 war via pre-emptive air strikes on Indian airbases on 3 Dec 1971 — but this omits that India was already militarily intervening in East Pakistan, backing the Mukti Bahini, with Indian and Mukti Bahini forces launching offensives before Pakistan's strikes. ✓ reachable · archived
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_war_of_1971 India intervened in the Bangladesh Liberation War, supporting Bengali nationalist forces from March–November 1971; the war is widely described as an Indian intervention, complicating the claim that Pakistan 'started' every war. ✓ reachable · archived
