A decades-old prophecy by blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga has returned to public focus as geopolitical tensions escalate globally, particularly in the Indian subcontinent.
The seer, known for predicting global events such as the 9/11 attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic, is said to have foreseen a devastating war in 2025, one that could begin in Europe but potentially ripple across the world.
Reports published by outlets including the New York Post and The Mirror cite Vanga’s vision of a war that would decimate Europe and mark the "downfall of humanity." Alongside this conflict, she foresaw economic collapse and deadly natural disasters, including powerful earthquakes and tsunamis.
The eerie timing of her predictions has unsettled observers, especially in India. What was once perceived as a distant European prophecy is now being interpreted by many as strikingly relevant, given the subcontinent’s precarious climate.
With the Indian public still reeling from the recent terror attack in Kashmir and military tensions escalating with Pakistan, the parallels to Baba Vanga’s foresight seem uncomfortably close.
Understanding Baba Vanga's Prophecies
Baba Vanga, who died in 1996, left behind a series of cryptic predictions that have continued to be interpreted and revisited over the years. Among her most chilling visions for 2025 are the outbreak of a catastrophic war in Europe, a global economic collapse, and severe natural disasters.
Though her predictions were often non-specific and interpreted post-factum, she reported accuracy in foretelling past events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Her followers believe that 2025 marks a critical turning point, not just geopolitically but spiritually, with far-reaching implications for humanity.
Meanwhile, heightened tensions in the Indian subcontinent following the Pakistan-backed terror attacks in Pahalgam have become a meaningful concern.

Pahalgam Attack Escalates Indo-Pak Conflict
On April 22, 2025, a brutal terrorist attack in the tourist town of Kashmir’s Pahalgam left 26 civilians dead and over 50 injured.
The Pakistan-based militant group The Resistance Front, widely seen as a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack.
India has strongly condemned Pakistan for harbouring terror outfits and has responded with swift diplomatic and military escalations. The Ministry of External Affairs expelled Pakistani diplomats, revoked cross-border agreements, and suspended civilian airspace access for Pakistani aircraft.

India's Military Poised for Response
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, yesterday, chaired several high-level meetings and was briefed by top intelligence and defence personnel on recent developments. He has also given Indian troops the free hand to plan, mobilise, and carry out retaliatory attacks.
Pakistan, meanwhile, has issued counter-warnings and placed its military on high alert despite continuing unprovoked firings across the Line of Control (LoC).
As India teeters on the edge of a possible military confrontation with Pakistan, the timing of Baba Vanga's long-forgotten prediction has taken on new resonance. Whether or not one believes in prophecy, the combination of geopolitical volatility, economic tremors, and natural calamities offers an unsettling portrait of the world in 2025.
