On April 22, 2025, terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, targeted tourists based on religion. Shubham Dwivedi, a 28-year-old from Kanpur, was asked to recite the Kalma, an Islamic declaration of faith. Upon failing to do so, he was shot in the head in front of his wife. The assailants spared her, instructing her to inform the government of their actions. This incident underscores a disturbing trend of religiously motivated violence in the region. The attack has heightened tensions and raised concerns about the safety of tourists and the broader implications for communal harmony in India. (PC: India Today)
