Abstract

This research study explores the public perception of India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agents and their alleged involvement in funding Baloch insurgents and engaging in terrorist activities in Pakistan. The study employs a quantitative research approach, utilizing survey data collected from 251 respondents at Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan, Pakistan. The findings reveal that a significant proportion of the respondents believe in India's involvement in terror activities in Pakistan (88%) and the RAW's funding of Baloch insurgents (88.5%). The study highlights the role of media coverage in shaping public opinion, as well as the potential consequences of such perceptions on bilateral relations between Pakistan and India. The research concludes that efforts should be made to resolve conflicts between the two nations and promote peace in the region, with the media playing a crucial role in fostering a neutral and non-hostile atmosphere.
