In the stillness of the Baisaran valley meadow at Pahalgam, horror came uninvited. Armed militants attacked tourists and locals – asking their religion, demanding they recite Islamic Kalima verses, forcing them to strip down so the terrorists could check for physical signs of identity. What followed, was a cold methodical execution. Indigenous air defence system ‘Akash’ was deployed during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan earlier this month. (Photo from X) Shubham Dwivedi, a 31-year-old businessman was shot point blank in the head. An Indian Navy Lieutenant, Vinay Narwal was the next victim. He had come to Pahalgam with his wife, Himanshi, just six days after their wedding. When the terrorists realised he was Hindu, they shot him three times – through the neck, chest and thigh.

Two weeks later, Operation Sindoor was launched. The name was chosen not to project might, but to mourn – marking the vermillion that …
