This study aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic politics in responding to the Pakistan-India conflict in the digital era by examining changes in response patterns, political strategies, and reconstruction of Islamic political narratives in the Kashmir issue. The Pakistan-India conflict is not only influenced by geopolitical and territorial disputes, but is also closely related to religious identity, nationalism, and Islamic political dynamics in both countries. The development of digital technology has changed the way Islamic political actors build legitimacy, solidarity, and political mobilization through social media and digital space. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research that utilizes various academic sources in the form of books, journal articles, research reports, and relevant documents related to Islamic politics, the Pakistan-India conflict, and political digitalization. Data was analyzed using content analysis techniques through the process of reduction, categorization, interpretation, and data synthesis in a descriptive-analytical manner. The results of the study show that Islamic politics in Pakistan and India has undergone a transformation from a traditional mobilization pattern based on political parties, clerics, and religious organizations to a more flexible, pragmatic, and transnational form. The digital era is accelerating this change through the use of social media as a new arena for the formation of public opinion, global Muslim solidarity, and political mobilization related to the Kashmir issue. In addition, the reconstruction of Islamic political narratives shows a shift from an exclusive ideological narrative towards the use of more universal political language such as human rights, social justice, and peace. This study concludes that Islamic politics in the digital era has an ambivalent position, which can be a factor in the escalation of conflicts through digital polarization, but also opens up opportunities for dialogue, digital diplomacy, and peacebuilding in the South Asian region.
