After losing her husband, Navy Captain Vinay Narwal, in the Pahalgam terror attack, Himanshi Narwal became a symbol of grief and resilience. But her public appeal for peace, urging against targeting Muslims or Kashmiris, sparked a wave of misogynistic trolling online. Trolls questioned her patriotism, character, and even her right to a government pension. The abuse was so severe that the National Commission for Women intervened. Similar hate was directed at Arathi Menon, another victim’s daughter. Their stories expose the deep-rooted sexism and intolerance women face when they defy public narratives and speak with compassion amid personal tragedy. (PC: India Today)
