🕯️ One Year On: Remembering the Pahalgam Terror Attack

April 22nd marks one year since the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam that stole innocent lives and shattered families.

We stand in solemn remembrance of those who were taken from us far too soon. Their smiles, their dreams, and their futures were cruelly cut short by hatred and violence.

In the face of such senseless brutality, we choose not to let grief turn into despair, but into determination.

Determination to stand united against terrorism in all its forms. Determination to honour the memory of the victims by promoting peace, humanity, and solidarity across communities.

On April 22nd, we gather in London to light candles, to remember, to grieve together, and to reaffirm our resolve:
Terror will never win. Humanity must prevail.

📍 Join us for the Solemn Remembrance
🗓️ Wednesday, 22nd April
🕕 6:00 PM
📍 In front of the High Commission of India, London

Let your presence be a message that we have not forgotten, and we will not stay silent.

Together, in grief, solidarity, and strength.

On 24 October, Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote to grooming gang victims, describing the perpetrators merely as “Asian men.”

This blanket label unjustly stigmatizes millions of law-abiding Indians, Hindus and others from across Asia. It erases cultural distinctions and unfairly associates an entire continent with heinous crimes that, in reality, were overwhelmingly committed by men of Pakistani Muslim background.

Such deliberate vagueness hinders justice and fuels prejudice against innocent communities. True accountability demands honesty about facts, not political convenience.

Dear Prime Minister, protecting the ethnic identity of perpetrators cannot take precedence over protecting victims and maintaining truth.

London | Tens of thousands join in solidarity against terrorism

Over 30,000 people gathered in London's Hyde Park to mark the year anniversary of the horrific October 7th Hamas terror attack.

INSIGHT UK, along with many others from the British Hindu & Indian community joined in solidarity with the Jewish-Israeli community to remember the victims and raise our voices against global Islamist terror.

10 Hindu hostages of Nepalese nationality were brutally murdered and are amongst the 1,600 victims who have sadly died since the barbaric attack by Hamas.

Rajesh Kumar Swarnakar, 25, a Hindu student from the village of Madhuwan in the Sunsari district of Nepal, was one amongst the many murdered by Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Alumim that day.

Bipin Joshi, 23, a Nepalese Hindu student, was taken from Kibbutz Alumim. He still remains a hostage.

The world stood witness to the unspeakable horrors of October 7th and must unite to fight against terrorism.

We continue to express our solidarity with the victims of October 7th and their families and call for the release of hostages who still remain in Hamas captivity.

BBC Shocker - BBC whitewashes the ongoing Hindu Genocide in Bangladesh

Yet another disgraceful article from the BBC.

BBC whitewashing the ongoing genocide by nitpicking on some fake, old or ambiguous videos and claiming "false claims".

The ongoing Hindu genocide has been confirmed not only by various international agencies but also by the interim government of Bangladesh. Prof Yunus has been forced to acknowledge and assure the protection, safety and security of Hindus and all minorities in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh’s new Home Affairs Advisor on 12th August Sakhawat Hussain, apologised to the Hindu community for not being able to adequately protect them.

Amnesty International and United Nations have raised their voice on concerns for Hindus.

There has been no coverage of the Bangladeshi Hindu genocide by BBC. Furthermore with this news article they embolden the perpetrators of the Hindu genocide.

BBC has not only gaslighted the Hindu victims but given cover fire to those committing the horrendous crimes against them, murder, lynching, arson, rape, and desecration of Hindu places included.

A shocked Hindu father reported that his seven-year-old son was being religiously converted by Muslim classmates at Springwell School in Hounslow, West London.

The classmates "brainwashed" the Hindu boy into agreeing to change his name to Mohammed and cutting his kalava (a Hindu bracelet) using scissors. The Muslim boys also told the Hindu boy that "meat makes you strong" and halal meat "makes you stronger”, despite him being a vegetarian.

The incidents have since been resolved by the school, leading to the suspension of the Muslim boys and their parents being informed. However, the Hindu parent is concerned about how and why his son's classmates attempted to convert his child. He added: "We never talk about any other religion at home, not even our own religion."

He would not have known of all these incidents if it wasn't for his son coming home one day with a change in behaviour.

After learning about the situation, the father informed the class teacher, who explained that it was just kids exploring things.

After learning about the classmates threatening to stop being friends with the Hindu boy if he does not change his name, the teacher then suspended the three students. Worried it could be happening in other schools, the parents spoke to other families and neighbours about their experience.

The father showed Ealing Nub News email messages between him and Springwell's Headteacher, Mrs Kamaljeet Grewal, acknowledging the situation. She told the father that the school is actively working to create a safe and inclusive environment, with policies in place to prevent grooming, indoctrination, and pressurization related to faith or ideological beliefs.

Techie By Day ,Cricketer in the evening

Saurabh Netravalkar, techie by day, cricketer by evening: Hero of Team US, from Mumbai.

Saurabh Netravalkar played under-19 cricket for India, pursued engineering from a top Mumbai college, and represented Mumbai in Ranji Trophy.

Saurabh now plays for the US cricket team in the world cup.

When the United States unexpectedly advanced into the Super Eight stage of the T20 cricket World Cup, he informed his manager at software major Oracle that he won’t be returning to work for another week.

As vital as he is to Oracle, where he handles databases of companies and even holds a patent for a search innovation, Netravalkar is indispensable to Team USA as it co-hosts its first major international cricket tournament.

Which team did he kick out of the tournament?
