Turkey Backstabbed India: Why Erdoğan Chose Pakistan Over India
The Night the Drones Came
Around 300 to 400 drones entered Indian airspace. They weren’t just flying objects. They were weapons. Flying into 36 different locations with one mission — to attack.
But the biggest shock wasn’t that Pakistan attacked India. We’ve seen that before.
The shock was this:
Many of these drones were Turkish.
Yes. Turkey — a country we stood by when a devastating earthquake shattered millions of lives.
Turkey, whom we helped without a second thought.
Turkey, whom we trusted.
And now, Turkish drones, powered by Erdoğan’s political ambitions, were attacking Indian borders.
The Betrayal Runs Deep
Let’s rewind a bit.
In 2023, a powerful earthquake struck Turkey. Entire cities collapsed.
Thousands died.
Millions were homeless.
And when the dust settled, one country was among the first to rush in with doctors, rescue teams, medical kits, food, and shelters.
That country was India.
We didn’t wait. We didn’t think. We just helped.
Because that’s what friends do.
And this is how some Turkish citizens reacted:
"We were alone. But when the Indians came, we felt secure again."
"God bless you, India. Thank you."
But how did Turkey repay us?
By sending killer drones to Pakistan — which then flew into our skies to target Indian soldiers.
Let that sink in.
While our doctors were saving Turkish children, Erdogan’s drones were flying in to kill ours.
The Erdoğan Agenda: Not Just Politics, But A Legacy
To truly understand why Turkey did this, we need to go back even further — not a year or two, but centuries.
This man — Recep Tayyip Erdoğan — isn’t just trying to run Turkey.
He’s trying to revive an empire.
The Ottoman Empire — once one of the largest and longest-lasting empires in the world.
From Greece to Mecca, from Baghdad to Budapest, the Ottomans ruled for over 600 years, led by caliphs, who were not just kings — they were spiritual leaders of the Sunni Muslim world.
But after World War I, that empire fell. Torn apart. Broken by the West.
Turkey was reborn as a secular republic under Atatürk.
The caliphate was abolished.
The dream buried.
But today, Erdoğan wants to resurrect it.
He doesn't just want power. He wants symbolism, a cause, and yes — a conflict.
Why Erdoğan Chose Pakistan Over India
Let’s be brutally honest.
If you’re the President of Turkey and you're looking for symbolic causes to rally Muslim support globally, who would you side with?
- A rising power like India — a country that helped you in crisis?
- Or a chaotic, nuclear-armed, violent, anti-India, Islamic country like Pakistan?
In a world driven by religious symbolism, Erdoğan chose Pakistan.
"We will, God willing, continue to stand by our brotherly people of Pakistan."
— Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
Because for Erdoğan, backing Pakistan isn’t just politics — it's a shortcut to pan-Islamic leadership.
It’s a way to tap into the emotional, religious loyalty of the Muslim world.
And the best part?
He gets all the credit without firing a single bullet himself.
India Responds: The Boycott Begins
The moment this betrayal hit the Indian public, the response was swift and brutal.
- Tour operators canceled trips to Turkey.
- Travel apps like EaseMyTrip banned Turkey bookings.
- Business leaders resolved to boycott Turkish imports.
- Social media erupted with anger and calls for economic action.
India is hitting Turkey where it hurts — its economy.
But here’s the bigger problem. Turkey isn’t just selling carpets and kebabs.
They’re selling drones.
Drones: Turkey’s Most Dangerous Export
Let’s talk about these Bayraktar and Songar drones.
They’re low-cost, high-impact, and built for something called asymmetrical warfare.
That means: even if you shoot most of them down, the few that break through can destroy military equipment worth crores.
And guess what?
The cost of a single missile to shoot one down is 10–20x more than the drone itself.
It’s economic warfare at its finest.
It’s like this:
- Drone cost: ₹10 lakh
- Missile to shoot it: ₹2 crore
Now send 100 drones and force India to shoot them down?
You bankrupt India’s defense budget — without even sending troops.
That’s the terrifying genius behind Turkey’s drone game.
And the worst irony?
India exports drone-making components to Turkey.
Yes. We sell them aluminium, electronics, aircraft parts — all used to build drones — and those very drones came flying back to attack us.
The New Cold War — And It’s Not Just About Drones
The final, most chilling part of this entire saga?
It’s not just about India, Pakistan, and Turkey.
Look at the map again.
The world is dividing.
Two major blocks are emerging — Muslim-majority countries siding against each other, forming unstable, shifting alliances.
This is a new Cold War in the making — messy, tangled, and incredibly dangerous.
And India?
India is right in the middle of it.
The Bottom Line
Turkey didn’t just backstab India.
It chose Islamic symbolism over human solidarity.
It chose conflict over compassion.
It chose Erdoğan’s legacy over India’s friendship.
But the story doesn't end here.
Because the people of India — the same people who rushed to Turkey with food, doctors, and shelters — now know better.
And now, we remember.
We remember the betrayal.
We remember the drones.
We remember Erdoğan's choice.
And we won't forget.
