Why 9/11 Didn’t Repeat, But 26/11 Keeps Happening in India
Another terror attack. This time in Pahalgam, Kashmir.
Another 26 lives lost.
Another few days of hashtags, headlines, and helplessness.
But I’m writing to you today not with just grief — but with a question that refuses to leave my mind:
Why did the U.S. never see another 9/11, but India keeps reliving 26/11 in new forms — over and over again?
It’s not because countries like the U.S., U.K., Canada, or Australia don’t have Muslim populations. They do — and many live peacefully, side by side. So why can’t that happen here, in India, in Pakistan, in Bangladesh?
Here’s a truth we all must confront:
Those nations have one thing we don’t — uncompromising law and order.
- There’s no emotional policing.
- No dual standards based on religion.
- No police officer walking the streets with just a stick while criminals carry AK-47s.
- No political appeasement wrapped as justice.
In India, we still see police stations attacked and prisoners escaping.
We still see people settle petty disputes with violence, often unpunished.
We still run a system where law bends — and often breaks — based on who’s offended.
Terror doesn’t knock.
It slips in through the cracks we ignore.
We must ask ourselves:
- Why haven’t we modernized our police and defense forces fully?
- Why don’t we give them full autonomy and accountability?
- Why do we still treat law and religion as two parallel systems?
Before we blame our neighbors or a particular community, let’s fix our own foundation.
Let’s shut the open gates before more lives are lost.
I’m not angry at them.
I’m angry at us.
At our apathy. At our forgetfulness. At our acceptance of the unacceptable.
We don’t need revenge. We need reform.
And we need it now.
Jai Hind.

Welcome to my world of entrepreneurship, innovation, and social impact.
I am Kunal Jain, a social entrepreneur, mentor, and business leader who has spent the last two decades building and scaling businesses in the U.S. and India. After moving to the United States in 2003 with just a few hundred dollars, I pursued the American Dream, establishing multiple successful ventures in Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), AI-driven healthcare, and entrepreneurship mentoring. Over the years, I have proudly created employment for hundreds of professionals across both countries.
Yet, my heart has always belonged to India. Born and raised in the culturally rich state of Rajasthan, I grew up watching my father, Kaushal Kishore Jain, a politician by profession and a social reformer by heart. His dedication to public service shaped my values, and in his memory, I authored my first book, A Philanthropist Without Money – Kaushal Ji, in 2019.
In 2023, I made the life-changing decision to return to India to carry forward my father’s philanthropic legacy. I now lead the Kaushalm Foundation, fostering entrepreneurship, healthcare innovation, and skill development among India’s youth. Through initiatives like the Aravali Hub, HealthPods, and Rapid Rajasthan Clinic, I am committed to empowering aspiring entrepreneurs, bridging the healthcare gap, and making a lasting impact.
Beyond business and philanthropy, poetry is my soul’s expression. My latest book, ‘Aabhas’, a collection of Hindi poetry, is deeply personal and named after my son. It reflects my journey, emotions, and observations of life, blending nostalgia, resilience, and introspection.
I am a lifelong learner—whether as an entrepreneur, mentor, father, or poet. My journey continues as I explore ways to merge technology with social good, ensuring that innovation reaches those who need it the most.
The name of my blog, ‘Baithak’, is a Hindi word symbolizing a gathering of minds—a place to exchange ideas, reflect, and inspire. I invite you to be part of this conversation.
Let’s build, innovate, and transform lives together!
