Bleed India with a Thousand Cuts is a military doctrine allegedly followed by Pakistan against India. Pakistan denies the existence of such a policy.[1] It comprises of waging covert war against India using insurgents at multiple locations.[2]
The origins of this policy is attributed to Pakistani Prime Minister ZA Bhutto who had declared a permanent war against India in 1971. He had stated that such a was would be carried out by "inflicting a thousand cuts" on India. According to The Pioneer the purpose of such a declaration was to deviate the public attention from the internal problems faced by Pakistan.[3]
Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq the Pakistani dictator had initiated the 'Bleed India Through A Thousand Cuts' doctrine. Punjab insurgency and Kashmir insurgency were attributed to this policy.[4][5]
Hamid Gul (who had led ISI) had stated about Punjab insurgency that "Keeping Punjab destabilized is equivalent to the Pakistan Army having an extra division at no cost to the taxpayers."[2]
In September 2018, Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat had stated about this doctrine that "Pakistan has decided to bleed India with thousand cuts. It's the policy of Pakistan. The creation of Bangladesh, which happened with the help of India, was a very humiliating defeat for them, and they feel that this is one way of avenging that defeat. They are avenging this defeat by causing casualties to our security forces and creating mayhem amongst the people."[6]
