In this thought-provoking episode of FinSights, host Naren confronts a truth as old as civilization itself—terrorism is not merely violence, but a spoke in an ancient wheel that has crushed the common people beneath it for generations. Through the lens of recent attacks in Pahalgam, this episode reveals how this wheel continues to turn, grinding livelihoods to dust in its wake.

The episode examines how a single act of terrorism threatens an industry worth ₹21,000 Crores—not just numbers in ledgers, but the very sustenance of thousands of families.

As visitors abandon their journeys north, the wheel turns: shopkeepers face empty stalls, hoteliers empty rooms, and guides empty paths. The high lords of terror may play their game, but it is always the smallfolk who suffer most.

Naren unveils how Kashmir's remarkable prosperity—its visitors having grown from 34 lakh to 2.36 crore in just four years—now stands threatened not by swords or fire, but by the most insidious weapon: FEAR.

When people retreat behind their walls, the wheel turns faster, creating the very conditions of poverty and desperation that ensure it continues to spin.

Most importantly, this episode offers wisdom on how we might finally break this wheel through economic resilience rather than surrendering to its momentum. It presents the compelling truth that by continuing to support affected regions, we do not merely treat symptoms—we strike at the very spokes that keep the wheel of hatred and violence turning.

"Break the Wheel" delivers essential insights for anyone who understands that in the great game of economics and peace, the true victory comes not from revenge, but from refusing to let terror dictate our choices.
