It has been over a week since 26 people were killed at the Pahaalgam tourist site in Indian Kashmir. India believes Pakistani groups were behind the attack. Pakistani authorities deny that they have had something to do with it. However, the country says they have credible intelligence that shows that India plans to start military actions. “Let there be no doubt, any military error from India will be met with a quick and specific response,” says Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir, according to Reuters. On Saturday, Pakistan tested a ballistic rocket. The purpose of the launch was to ensure that the forces are operational and to “validate important technical parameters”, including the rocket’s advanced navigation system and control. The Bakke-Til-Bakke rocket has a range of 450 kilometers, the Pakistani military said. This happens after India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given the military freedom to decide how and when they want to respond to the attack in Pahagam, according to Indian news channels. So far, Kashmir Resistance has assumed responsibility for the killings. This is the dispute around Kashmir India and Pakistan since they became independent in 1947, conflicted about the Kashmir region. The battle triggered wars in 1947, 1965 and 1999. India controls two -thirds of the disputed area. Both in the Indian and Pakistani sections are a large majority of the inhabitants Muslims. In total, more than 11 million people live in the region. Since 1989, there has been a rebellion in the Indian -controlled part of Kashmir who has cost more than 47,000 people life, while nearly 10,000 have been abducted. India has accused Pakistan of supporting the rebellion and running their own camps where the rebels are trained. In 2003, India and Pakistan agreed on a ceasefire, but the peace process has stood in the stomp, especially after the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, which Pakistani extremists were blamed for. In August 2019, the Indian government canceled Kashmir’s self -government and downgraded the region from the state to two federal territories. The two nuclear powers stand against each other on each side of a military controlled dividing line – “Line of Control” (LOC). A 1948 UN resolution states that a referendum should be held on Kashmir’s future, but it has not yet happened. India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir, as well as many want the region to be independent. One part of Kashmir, the largely uninhabited area of Aksai Chin, is controlled by China. During the colonial era, Kashmir was a partially self -guided principality under British supremacy.

Jaishankar writes in a post on X that he told Rubio that “the perpetrators, supporters and planners of the attack must be brought to the court”. On the other hand, Pakistani Prime Minister is urging the United States to push India to “reduce rhetoric and act responsibly”. Fear among the population Since the attack, it has been reported that people from Kashmir, living in Indian cities, have been harassed and threatened by right -wing groups, neighbors and fellow students. Videos showing students who are chased out of the campus and knocked up the streets are abounding online, the BBC writes. Ummat Shabir is a nursing student in Punjab. She tells the channel that women in her neighborhood called her a “terrorist” and said she should be thrown out of the country. “On the same day, my classmate was thrown out of a taxi by the driver when he found out that she was from Kashmir,” she says. Safety forces in Kashmir take extensive measures to find those behind the attack. They have arrested thousands of people, closed over 50 tourist places, submitted more soldiers and blasted the homes to the families of suspected militants. This has created fear and unrest among the population, and many believe that the actions are a form of collective punishment against them. Published 03.05.2025, at. 11.31
