The Pulwama Attack on Indian Forces in Indian occupied Kashmir triggered a social media war between citizens of Pakistan & India during which people from both countries reacted differently.
Initially anti-Pakistan trends were observed in India while Pakistanis were more concerned about enjoying matches of PSL.
1 Billion Hindus are ready to attack us and we 200 million Pakistani are enjoying PSL without any stress. ?

Even when Pakistanis reacted to Indian social media propaganda they were more sarcastic. Some people said how whole India is busy in war mongering while Pakistanis were watching PSL.
