The biggest militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir since 2019 occurred Tuesday in Pahalgam, where a barrage of gunfire killed at least 26 tourists.
The deceased were tourists on vacation in one of the most beautiful regions in India, not military personnel or government representatives. This strike is both harsh and symbolic in and of itself; it is a deliberate attack on life as well as the tenuous sense of normalcy that the Indian government has laboriously attempted to establish in the disputed area.
Experts predict that India’s response will be influenced by precedent as much as by pressure, given the complicated history of Kashmir, which is fully claimed by both India and Pakistan but only partially administered by each.
To begin with, has quickly taken a number of retaliators.
