- In Honor of the Victims of Pahalgam Silence now speaks of life lost too young in the placid valleys where laughter once rang out against the hills. We will always remember the naive souls who came in search of serenity and beauty. Your stories, your dreams, and your light endure in the hearts of a nation in mourning. May your memory always encourage us to work toward a world free from hate, and may your spirit find the serenity that was denied to you.
We remember you, we honor you, and we resolutely and lovingly continue your
legacy.
Peace be with you.
In the Baisaran Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, the Pahalgam terror strike on April 22, 2025, was a catastrophic event. Among the bloodiest attacks in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, armed extremists attacked tourists, killing 26 and wounding nearly 20. Initially claiming responsibility, the Resistance Front (TRF), associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba, eventually withdrew their claims. Opposition to Indian government policies permitting non-local settlements in Kashmir was said to be the driving force behind the attack. Tensions between India and Pakistan have increased as a result of this tragedy, with India blaming Pakistan of aiding cross-border terrorism. The Indus Waters Treaty has been suspended, and Pakistani diplomats have been expelled, among other diplomatic actions. Pakistan has responded by limiting commerce and suspending the Simla Agreement. Along the Line of Control, border skirmishes have also gotten more intense. National demonstrations and demands for justice have been triggered by the occurrence, and security authorities are stepping up their efforts to capture the offenders. It emphasizes how difficult it is still to maintain regional peace and security.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), India “is deeply disturbed by the news of the killing of 28 people by the terrorists after identifying their faith in Pahalgam area of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir on 22nd April, 2025. The Commission condemns the dastardly attack on the unarmed and unsuspecting innocent civilians who were on a holiday to the valley. The incident has shaken the conscience of every right-thinking human being as a serious issue of violation of human rights of the innocent victims and their families.
It has been said time and again at various forums that terrorism is one of the biggest causes of human rights violations in the world. The time has come to act against those aiding, abetting, supporting and advancing terrorism and to hold them accountable for this menace. Otherwise, it may result in shrinking of democratic space, intimidation, reprisals, harmony among communities and grave violation of various human rights, including right to life, liberty, equality, fraternity, and livelihood.
It is expected that the
State will take all the necessary steps to fix accountability; bring the
perpetrators to justice and provide succour to the families of the victims in
all possible manner.”
