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."

In the wake of the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of at least 26 tourists and injured many others, local residents have come together to hold candlelight marches, expressing their grief and condemning the violence.
On April 22, 2025, locals in Pahalgam organized a candlelight vigil to mourn the victims and demand justice. Similar demonstrations were held in other parts of Kashmir, including Srinagar and Hajin, where residents gathered to show solidarity with the victims and their families. 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"

Sandeep Pandey says: At an online meeting held by the socialist party in which four Kashmir friends spoke and each one of them was pained by these incidents which are happening where they are being targeted and seen as the culprit whereas they they are the ones who have suffered the most. So it is the responsibility of Indian citizens in other states to ensure that if Kashmiris aee given protection by the state governments and the police . ..... this is the only way in which we can express solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir in this hour of crisis. of course people who can go there they should continue going there so that uh we should not let the motive of the people who were behind the terrorist attack in Pahelgam to affect
the normal life in Kashmir. So if the normal life continues if people start keep going to Jammu and Kashmir for tourism and and other purposes, it would foil the attempts by who whoever it is who doesn't want peace in Kashmir andwho wants to spoil the relationships between India and Pakistan.
so we hope that common people of India and common people of Pakistan will join hands and will ensure that peace and an atmosphere of amity and friendship prevails and people are able to live peacefully and and uh in and and ensure that communal harmony prevails
