Homes destroyed and 1,500 detained in Kashmir as India cracks down following attacks https://www.npr.org/2025/04/27/nx-s1-5378630/india-kashmir-pakistan-crackdown-homes-destroyed By Bilal Kuchay Omkar Khandekar April 27, 2025. Indian authorities have detained at least 1,500 people in India-administered Kashmir after a militant attack killed 26 people last week, a top police officer told NPR. Several homes linked to alleged militants were also destroyed.
In recent years, the Indian government has often ordered demolition of houses of those accused of criminal activity, often using bulldozers. Thanks to these incidents, India's ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party has been charged with deploying "bulldozer justice" — destroying homes and livelihoods of the minority Muslim community.
"Such acts serve the agenda of the right-wing on both sides," said Mehdi, the Kashmiri legislator. "The terrorists that killed these innocents in Pahalgam, and the other right-wing, that wants to communalize this country."

These peaceful protests underscore the community's rejection of such acts of terror and their commitment to peace and unity in the region. transcript-tranlation: "J:\fortransfer\6647-Pahalgam-Locals.html"
An Open Letter to the Terrorists Who Attacked Pahalgam . Major (Dr.) Mohommed Ali Shah No, this is not Jihad. Jihad means “struggle.” What you did was gunah—sin, bloodshed, and a betrayal of both humanity and God. You’ve dragged the name of Allah through the blood-soaked soil of Pahalgam. You’ve taken a religion of peace, twisted and misinterpreted it, and turned it into a weapon of terror. You shameful creatures—you will rot in hell.
I am ashamed that you and I were born into the same faith—because we are nothing alike. My religion is humanity. The Islam I know teaches me to protect the innocent. Yours glorifies slaughter. My Islam teaches me to serve my country. Yours tells you to tear it apart.

ल्मशहूर वैज्ञानिक सोनम वांगचुक की अगुवाई में लद्दाख के लोगों ने पहलगाम आतंकी हमले के खिलाफ एकजुट होकर विरोध जताया। पूरे इलाके में बाजार बंद रखे गए और लोगों ने मोमबत्तियां जलाकर शांति व एकता की मिसाल पेश की। ये साफ दिखाता है कि आतंकवाद के खिलाफ पूरा भारत एक साथ खड़ा है "C:\Users\John\Pictures\6655a.mp4"
