This chapter employs a critical discourse analysis (CDA) approach to examine the hypercoverage of the 2019 Pulwama attack in the Indian print media. It was a suicide bombing that occurred on February 14, 2019, in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir that killed 40 Indian paramilitary personnel. The attack was claimed by a Pakistan-based militant group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and led to an upsurge of military and political tensions between India and Pakistan, placing the nuclear-armed Asian neighbours on the brink of a major war. This chapter analyses the language, representation and framing of the Pulwama attack in the chosen news articles to identify distinct discursive frames and themes and characterise them, largely utilising the socio-cognitive CDA approach developed by Teun A. van Dijk and drawing upon theoretical concepts presented in his research works, particularly (van Dijk, Discourse & Society 4:249–283, 1993) and van Dijk (2015). News frames are categorised under distinct conflict-based discursive themes and used to analyse the interplay among divergent voices and perspectives. Further, this chapter discusses the powerplay underlying the news discourses and how the media negotiates power with the political establishment through those discursive themes.
