From the President s Desk

Respected Biradari Members

Namaskar

We express our deepest sorrow and strongest condemnation over the recent brutal and inhuman attack on innocent, unarmed Hindu tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. This cowardly act, allegedly carried out by Islamic extremist elements from both local and cross-border terrorist groups, is not only a direct assault on human dignity but also an attack on the idea of peaceful coexistence. Our heartfelt prayers go out for the eternal peace of the departed souls who were martyred in this heinous act. The nation stands united in grief and outrage. We also draw strength from the assurance given by our Hon'ble Prime Minister, who has vowed to take strong and decisive action against those responsible and their supporters, both within and outside our borders. witnessed a significant rise in tourism in the Kashmir This summer, like the previous one, Valley-an encouraging sign of peace and economic revival. More than 2.5 crore tourists, including international visitors, chose to experience the pristine beauty and hospitality of the valley last year. This surge greatly benefited the local economy, supporting guides, hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and the entire tourism ecosystem-most of whom belong to the local Muslim community. However, such acts of violence expose a disturbing contradiction. While many in the local population embrace tourism for its economic benefits, there remains a segment that is either indifferent or complicit in radical ideologies that undermine peace and and coexistence.progress. There seems to be a dangerous disconnect between the temporary economic gains from tourism and the long-term vision for inclusive peace. Pahalgam Massacre: The Unending Genocide and a Nation's Deafening Silence The massacre of 26 innocent Hindu pilgrims in Pahalgam is not an isolated act of terrorism the latest chapter in a 36-year-long saga of systematic genocide, driven by the same brutal Islamis jihadi forces that have relentlessly targeted Hindus in Kashmir. This recurring horror is not just a failure of security, but a chilling consequence of decades of indifference, appeasement, and a glaring absence of political will to uproot the deeply entrenched terror infrastructure. Until this menace is confronted with unwavering resolve and crushed at its ideological and operational roots, such bloodshed will tragically continue. A History Written in Blood Since 1989, the Kashmir Valley has been soaked in the blood of its indigenous Hindu population-beginning with the targeted killings, rapes, and mass exodus of over 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits. This wasn't merely a communal disturbance-it was an orchestrated ethnic cleansing, carried out with the sole aim of altering the demographic and cultural character of Kashmir forever. What followed in the subsequent decades were a series of meticulously planned massacres: Wandhama (1998), Chittisinghpura (2000), Nadimarg (2003), and Amarnath Yatra attacks-each etched into the collective memory of a community abandoned by the very state sworn to protect it. The Pahalgam massacre of Hindu tourists is no different. It reflects the same genocidal mindset that sees Hindus not as citizens or pilgrims, but as targets in an ideological war against India's sovereignty, unity, and civilization. The Enemy Has a Name For too long, euphemisms like "militants", "gunmen", or "miscreants" have blurred the identity of the perpetrators. Let it be stated with absolute clarity: these are Islamist jihadi terrorists, trained, armed, and ideologically indoctrinated to wage war against the Indian nation. Their goal is not political autonomy-it is religious supremacy, terror-driven chaos, and ultimately the conversion or elimination of all who resist their ideology. This is not just a law-and-order problem. It is a civilizational battle between democratic India and a barbaric, theocratic fascism. The Cost of Complacency The Pahalgam massacre is the bitter fruit of decades of soft-pedalling, half-hearted responses, and dangerous compromises. Successive governments, both at the Centre and in Jammu & Kashmir, have failed to send a strong and lasting message to these enemies of humanity. Worse, certain sections of the political class, media, and intelligentsia have downplayed these atrocities, often rationalizing terror in the name of "alienation", "grievances", or "human rights". This selective outrage, where the blood of Hindu victims evokes no candlelight marches or breaking news hysteria, has emboldened the perpetrators. Justice Delayed is Genocide Repeated The root cause of recurring terror in Kashmir is the absence of complete and uncompromising justice. There have been no Nuremberg-style trials for the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus. No Truth and Reconciliation Commission. No international outcry. The victims remain voiceless, exiled, and erased from the nation's conscience. Had the architects of past massacres been hunted down with the full might of the statemilitarily, legally, and diplomatically-today's bloodshed could have been averted. What Must Be Done Words are no longer enough. Strong condemnations and ritualistic condolences are insults to the dead if not followed by decisive action. The time has come for India to: 1. Declare a National Genocide Memorial Day to acknowledge and institutionalize the memory of these massacres. Pass the genocide bill immediately. 2. Launch a sustained counter-terrorism offensive, not just against foot soldiers, but against the entire ecosystem-funding channels, ideological hubs, and political sympathizers. 3. Rehabilitate and resettle displaced Kashmiri Hindus in the Valley with constitutional safeguards, security, and dignity. 4. Bring international attention to the Islamist genocide in Kashmir, exposing Pakistan's role and seeking global sanctions on terror supporters. 5. Implement anti-terror laws without fear or favour, stripping down the cover of "human rights" that protects jihadis while ignoring victims. Conclusion: A Nation Must Choose India must ask itself: how many more innocents must die before we call this what it truly isa genocide? How long will we treat Hindu suffering as politically inconvenient? A sovereign nation that fails to protect its citizens from ideological extermination loses not just lives-it loses its soul. The Pahalgam massacre is a test of India's national character. Let this be the final wake-up call. The blood of the innocents cries out-not just for justice, but for resolve. We owe them more than remembrance. We owe them a nation that will never allow this again. With Best Regards and warm Greetings
