Mumbai-born Oxford law student Viraansh Bhanushali went viral after a fiery speech at the Oxford Union debate on India-Pakistan relations. Countering claims by Pakistani Union president Moosa Harraj that India’s policies were populist, Bhanushali argued they stem from genuine security concerns. He cited India’s restrained response to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and calibrated military actions after Pathankot, Uri, Pulwama, and Pahalgam, stressing these were not tied to election cycles. Calling Pakistan a “state that has no shame,” he contrasted India’s accountability with Pakistan’s populist war narratives. Sharing personal memories of terror tragedies, he underscored India’s resolve against cross-border terrorism. His remarks drew millions of views globally.
