The cross border war between India and Pakistan has started once again , i.e. over the border after India initiated the fire at the shared border.
Both countries are blaming each other for the uninvited attack. While the fact remains, that the victim of this head to head retaliation between both these nuclear powered neighbors are the innocent civilians.
The death toll of Pakistani civilians has risen to 12 with a couple being killed in Sialkot by Indian Gun Fire this Thursday. While the number of injured civilians during the cross border attack is now 43.
Although, the war is being raged at the borders of these two hostile neighbors, the effect of it is clearly being felt with the rise of enmity between the two countrymen.
Soon after the start of thr incident, the micro-blogging social media Twitter fired up with citizens ranting against the opposing country. Some of the hash tags that quickly made it to the trending list of twitter, included:
#CowardModi
#IndiaIsTerrorist
#SayNoToBollywood
#BuzdilPakistan
#PakDare
Some hardcore emotions that were clearly seen through the tweets including these hash tags included:

The situation suddenly grew worse and Pakistani hackers had to roll up their sleeves and get down to work, instantly taking down 3 Indian websites and the news quickly made it to twitter:

It’s quite clear that these messages are not just a social media trend but are a clear portrayal of people’s emotions, which might get out of hand if soon the situation is not taken under control.
