22 April 2035 massacre in Indian- admistered Kashmir swarajyamag
On April 22, 2025, in the pristine hills of Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir—once a symbol of the Valley’s blooming tourism industry—an act of horror unfolded that should have shocked the world’s conscience. Masked terrorists, armed and methodical, lined up a group of Indian tourists, demanded their identification, and began executing them one by one.
Survivors recounted chilling details: the assailants asked names, demanded proof of religion, asked them to recite Islamic prayers and in some cases, forced victims to remove their clothes to identify whether they were circumcised—a crude test to differentiate Hindus from Muslims.
Those who failed the test were shot at point-blank range. The result: 26 dead. All of them Hindus, with one victim being a Shia Muslim.
And yet, as global media rushed to report the attack, the coverage offered not clarity, but camouflage. What should have been called a ‘terrorist massacre of Hindus by Islamist extremists’ was transformed into a vague incident involving “gunmen” in “Indian-administered Kashmir”.
The facts were stripped of their moral urgency. The words were drained of their truth. And the victims, like so many before them, were robbed not just of life—but of recognition.
