New Delhi and Islamabad probably are inclined to reinforce the current calm in their relationship

The US Intelligence in a report has said that under PM Modi, India is more likely than in the past to give a military response to perceived or real Pakistani provocations.

"Crises between India and Pakistan are of particular concern because of the risk of an escalatory cycle between two nuclear-armed states. New Delhi and Islamabad probably are inclined to reinforce the current calm in their relationship following both sides' renewal of a cease-fire along the Line of Control in early 2021," US Intelligence Community Annual Threat Assessment report said.

The report further slams Pakistan as it mentioned that Islamabad has a long history of supporting anti-India militant groups. But under the leadership of PM Modi, India is more likely to respond with military force to perceived or real Pakistani provocations.

The report said, "...each side's perception of heightened tensions raises the risk of conflict, with violent unrest in Kashmir or a militant attack in India being potential flashpoints."

The report has also talked about Russia-Ukraine war, Covid-19 saying that it has increased poverty, impacted economy and widened inequality.

In another report, a series of suspiciously-timed and targeted events suggest that there is an Anglo-American destabilization being launched to topple Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the coming months, claims F. William Engdahl of the Centre for Research on Globalization.
