In a devastating terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, 26 lives were lost, including local pony handler Syed Adil Hussain Shah. Adil, the family's sole breadwinner, was killed while shielding tourists and attempting to disarm an attacker. His father, Syed Hyder Shah, expressed profound grief and pride: "I am alive only because of that pride." Adil's mother lamented the loss of their provider, recalling his daily earnings of ₹300 that sustained the family. Despite their sorrow, the Shah family honors Adil's bravery and humanity. His sister, Ravisa, shared that Adil had planned to return home early that day, feeling unwell, a return that never happened. (PC: Hindustan Times, The Times of India & India Today)
