On April 22, 2025, the serene Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, Kashmir, was shattered by a brutal terrorist attack. Five militants, armed with AK-47s and M4 carbines, targeted tourists, resulting in the deaths of 26 individuals, including 24 Indian nationals, one Nepali, and one local guide. An additional 17 people were injured in this heinous act .
Eyewitnesses recounted the harrowing experience: the assailants demanded to know the religion of their victims, asking them to recite the Islamic declaration of faith, the Kalima. Those unable to comply were mercilessly shot. Men were forced to undergo humiliating checks to determine their faith before being executed.
Among the victims was Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a local Muslim pony operator who valiantly attempted to shield the tourists from harm. His bravery cost him his life.
The perpetrators, identified as members of The Resistance Front, an offshoot of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for this atrocity.
From the Author’s Heart
On April 22, 2025, in a beautiful place called Pahalgam in Kashmir, India, something very painful happened. 26 innocent Indian people were killed, and 17 others were hurt. The people were just enjoying their holiday, but they were attacked by Pakistani terrorists with big guns.
The attackers asked people, “Are you Hindu or Muslim?” Then they told the Hindus to read the Kalima. If someone could not read it, they shot them.
One man was shot after they checked his pants to see if he was Muslim—right in front of his 15-year-old son.
Another husband was shot in front of his wife, and she became a widow in seconds.
This is not just an attack. This is a deep wound in every Indian heart. You may not have known these people, but today, we all feel their pain like family.
💔 Soul’s Cry
My soul is crying.
How can someone ask your religion before killing you?
How can a father be killed in front of his son?
How can a husband be taken away in front of his wife?
What kind of religion teaches this?
These terrorists call themselves Muslims, but Islam never teaches to kill innocent people.
In fact, the Quran says:
“Whoever kills an innocent person, it is as if he has killed all of humanity.” — Quran 5:32
So these killers are not following Islam. They are just using the name of religion to spread hate.
They are giving a bad name to every real Muslim who believes in peace and love.
🕯️ One Question to the World
Pakistanis protests when innocent people are killed in Palestine. European supports Ukraine against the killing innocents by Russia. it is very good thing I also support this. And Everyone should support.
But today, I ask them:
Will you protest now? for what happened in India.
Will you cry for the people killed in India?
If your heart only feels pain for some people and not all,
Then your feelings are not real. They are fake.
Every innocent life matters.
A Hindu life. A Muslim life. A Christian life.
A child. A mother. A tourist.
Pain has no religion.
