Say it with me now.
Syed Adil Hussain, the man who tried to stop the terrorists and died a hero. We will never forget you.
Srinagar: As bullets rained down on terrified tourists in lush meadows of Baisaran in Pahalgam hill station of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday, one man chose to stand between life and death—not for himself, but for others.

I hope everyone stays safe and sound 🇮🇳
To the anon who asked about the likely war between India and Pakistan, western leftists have already spoken through their little pro-Hamas terror cells (that are allegedly activist groups), and loudly. They've gone full tilt into supporting the Islamist terrorists who carried out the attack where they hunted down Hindus visiting Hindu sites. They're already being intensely hinduphobic. They're calling the slaughter 'decolonial' and 'freedom fighting brought on by the Indian occupation of the indigenous lands [of the Islamists]' and are calling India and Indians all the same things they call Israel and Israelis.
Kashmir is absolutely already being painted as Gaza 2.0 and they're on the same side they've been on the whole time. They did it as quickly and as callously as they did during October 7th.
Thank you for the info and honestly, I’m dismayed but can’t say I’m really surprised.
So, if you're too tired to speak, sit next to me, because I, too, am fluent in silence.
I am so fucking sick of people blaming Hindus for what happened in Kashmir.
I'm a liberal. About as liberal as liberal gets in India: pro-LGBT, pro-secularism, anti-BJP (although Congress is full of morons at the moment so I can see why BJP is the best option for a lot of people), anti-Hindutva, etc.
I am also from Mumbai. A city that faced terror attacks every couple of years for nearly three decades. I watched on the TV as terrorists burned my city in 2008. Both my parents have a 'if we had taken our regular train/bus we might have been dead' stories. I don't know a single middle-class family that doesn't have a relative with a bombing/bombing-adjacent story. My grandmother used to panic until my mother got home from college after '93 happened. My mother was with 3-year-old me alone, on a day out not far away from where one of 7 bombs burst in 2007. When I was a small child, every time we travelled by a local I would imagine how the metal would twist and crumple if the train exploded, because it was shown so many times on news and in movies/documentaries.
I have seen what terrorism is. I have seen what terrorism does. The lives lost to it, the fear that people go through. Your husband goes to office and is blown up. Your son goes to college and gets burned in a metal coffin. Your sister goes to meet a friend and then is returned in pieces.
Generations affected by terror. And it's not just Mumbai. The same story has happened in Delhi, Kashmir, and so many other states. And it happened yesterday in Kashmir. But instead of grieving for those who died, the first instincts of some of these so-called liberals is to play PR games about Islamophobia. The feelings of live Muslims are somehow more important than the blood of dead Hindus. Kashmir is our fault. Pahalgam is our fault. Everything is our fault.
I am a liberal but these kinds of liberals enrage me. Their politics is so important to them that they deny basic humanity. Wake up. They didn't ask for your political affiliation, they asked for your religion. "My Muslim friend-" dude FUCK your Muslim friend and their feelings, I got hundreds of dead and thousands of injured INDIANS in my city alone.
Fuck these kind of people. They've gone from anti-Hindutva to anti-Hindu. They sit behind their glass screens and defend with their dying breath the same gun that will be used to kill them and their loved ones. If the first thought after hearing about a terror attack is the worry for potential Islamophobia instead of horror about the incident and grief for the dead, then you've lost the plot.
We've seen heroes like Syed from the recent attack and others from 26/11. Not all Muslims are terrorists. But all Hindus are targets. And if you don't realize that? One day someone from across the border will make you.
The last paragraph, let's please shout it together.
Yes, I also support several modern ideas and some which could be called "liberal" too. And yes, I recognise that Hindus will always be targets and every time more of us die, we will mourn for four days and then move on. We must always be tolerant, must always be quiet no? Otherwise we shall be called sanghis and extremists and andhbhakts and whatnot. They live in a world where Hinduphobia doesn't exist because of course, Hindus should definitely be trodden upon.
let's talk about how the term "divine feminine" (shakti) was appropriated from hinduism and turned from this:
to this 🤮
😔
Is it a normal desi experience to feel like a failed investment of your parents or is it just me?
