00:00Most of us scroll past headlines like Iran launches missiles or Israel strike backs without pausing.

00:07After all, it's not our war. Not our problem. It's happening thousands of kilometers away.

00:13Different countries, different causes, different gods.

00:17But here's the truth. While you're watching reels or sipping a cup of coffee,

00:22the war is already knocking on your door.

00:24Hello and welcome. I am Gaurang Khadam and you are watching Lokmar Times.

00:28Before we start talking about five direct ways this war is silently affecting all of us in India,

00:35here is our generous appeal.

00:37Please do like, share and subscribe if you haven't already.

00:40The war between Iran and Israel may seem distant, but we can already feel its impact.

00:45The first thing that's taking a hit is the fuel we use every day.

00:50The moments Iran fired rockets and Israel responded, the global oil market went into panic mode.

00:56Crude oil prices shot up over by 11% in just a few days.

01:01And when crude rises, India feels the burn.

01:04Because we import over 85% of our oil.

01:07What means is very simple.

01:09You now have to pay more to fill your bike, your car and even your gas cylinder.

01:14That's Rs. 150 extra for an LPG refill.

01:18That's the war, right there silently killing your kitchen.

01:21You didn't start this conflict, but you are already paying its bill every time you hit the fuel station.

01:27But it doesn't stop at petrol.

01:29The war is silently making our daily food more expensive.

01:32When diesel becomes costlier, truck carrying vegetables, milk, rice and wheat start charging more.

01:40Cold storage even goes up.

01:42Transport costs rise.

01:44And it all adds up to a more expensive grocery list.

01:48One that makes a middle class family pulls back items from the checkout counter.

01:53The war is not on our street, but it's in your plate every single day.

01:58And no, it's not just about inflation.

02:02It's inflation with a missile behind it.

02:05Now, look at your phone or your laptop.

02:08Try buying a new one and the prices are climbing.

02:11That's not a coincidence.

02:12Israel is a global hub for semiconductors and electronic parts.

02:17Many companies rely on materials and technologies linked to that region.

02:21And when war hits, those supply chains are disrupted.

02:25Ships are rerouted.

02:26Cargo is delayed.

02:28Insurances are raised.

02:29The result that a single phone which costed 20,000 now will cost Rs. 23,000.

02:35That delivery you promised in three days now takes 12.

02:39There's no label saying that price increased due to war.

02:43But the war is embedded in that price stack.

02:46Our farmers are also feeling the pressure because fertilizers are getting costlier.

02:51You don't see his pain on Instagram stories, but he lives in India.

02:54India imports a large portion of fertilizers and industrial salts from Iran.

03:00With trade rules disrupted and shipments delayed, fertilizer prices are climbing.

03:06For the farmer, that means growing wheat or sugarcane again just got costlier.

03:11And for you, it means the wheat that turns into a chapati just became harder to afford.

03:17Farming has always been tough in India.

03:19But this war fought far away has made it even tougher, silently without headlines.

03:25And finally, if a key trade route gets blocked, it could badly affect India's entire economy.

03:32The Strait of Ormus, just a silver of ocean between Iran and Oman, but one that carries one-third of the world's oil every day.

03:41And Iran controls it.

03:43If things escalate further, Iran blocks this passage.

03:46Oil supply chains across the globe will collapse.

03:49Ships will have to take a longer route, costing more time, more money and more panic.

03:54And India, which gets over two-thirds of its oil and LNG through the strait, will be the one first who feels the aftershock.

04:03We won't hear explosions, but prices around you will escalate.

04:06So now, you may not hear sirens in your city.

04:10You may not see tanks in your streets.

04:12But make no mistake, the war is already here.

04:16In your budget, in your groceries, in your EMIs and in your dreams that are being delayed.

04:22One refill at a time.

04:23You didn't start this war.

04:25You don't support it.

04:27But somehow, you are still being forced to live with its consequences.

04:31Because in today's world, discipline doesn't protect you from war.

04:35Only awareness does.
