@narendramodi On behalf of Kashmiri Pandits worldwide, @KOAorg thanks PM @narendramodi ji for #HerathPoshte wishes. We recognize this day as the emergence of Shiva as Jwala Linga, first witnessed and worshipped by Vatuka Bhairava, whose devotion helped manifest the divine grace of Mahadevi. 🙏

We ask you to immediately contact your state legislators and members of Congress to condemn the appalling Pahalgam terrorist attack on Hindus, India, democracy, and stability in Kashmir. Use both @HinduAmerican's and @CoHNAOfficial's forms 👇

@surinderkauldr@amitrainaz: "It's a grim reminder of the brutal past we had. It took me back to 1990 where I was a 8-9 year-old kid, and my experiences and what we had to go through back then. The pain, the anguish, the brutality. Our community had to go through that genocide."

@KOAorg Secretary @amitrainaz and @kp_global Co-Founder Dr. @surinderkauldr discuss the Pahalgam terror attack targeting Hindus with @FOX26Houston

@surinderkauldr: "What is very disturbing is that the terrorists, they identified the victims whether they are Hindus or Muslims. That is very painful."
On April 22, 2025, the worst civilian terror attack in Kashmir since 2008 unfolded in broad daylight. 26 Hindu tourists were singled out and executed by terrorists. The Resistance Front—a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy backed by Pakistan has taken credit for the horrific attack. But if you look at headlines from major Western media outlets, you wouldn’t even know Hindus were targeted.
@nytimes, @washingtonpost, @CNN, @BBCWorld, @Reuters, and @AP - They downplay terrorism. Sanitize it. Hide the victims' religious identities. Call terrorists “militants.” Put “terror attack” in sneer quotes.
This isn’t just a tragic story—it’s deliberate erasure.
In this powerful breakdown, we expose: The selective language used to obfuscate the truth
👉The history media conveniently forgets
👉 The ideological agenda behind the violence it ignores
👉 How the victims and entire communities are being gaslit in real time
Watch this to understand what really happened, why it matters, and how legacy media is failing us once again.
This is more than a video. It’s a call to reclaim the truth.
The @KOAOrg Pres. @uphaarkotru condemned the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam and said the 26 tourists were executed by Islamist terrorists by targeting solely for their Hindu faith.
