Videos of the attack on Kashmiri students and shopkeepers in Pahalgam are being released from all over the nation.

📍 New Delhi, Srinagar, Mussoorie Disturbing recordings of purported attacks and harassment of Kashmiri workers, vendors, and students have emerged from several locations in India in the wake of the April 22 terror incident in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. Sabir Ahmed Dar, a 47-year-old Pashmina shawl vendor who has operated his company in Mussoorie for more than 20 years, now fears his identity, which was once a source of pride in his culture. "Pashmina meri rozi hai... lekin ab naam 'Kashmir' sunte hi log शक की नज़रों से देखने लगते हैं," Dar told REAL BREAKING NEWS, clearly disturbed during a verbal altercation with a group of unidentified guys last week close to his kiosk. Growing Tensions Following the Attack in Pahalgam Tensions have been rekindled in some regions of the nation following the Pahalgam attack, which injured a number of Indian visitors. Anger and false information on social media appear to have sparked sporadic instances of vigilantism and sectarian targeting, despite the fact that investigations are still ongoing and no direct connection has been made public with Jammu and Kashmir inhabitants. Videos of Kashmiri students being harassed in dorms and small Kashmiri business owners being forced to close their doors or even physically attacked by mobs have surfaced from areas like Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi. Youth and Traders in Kashmir Are Living in Fear Ayaan Lone, a 19-year-old pharmacy student in Meerut, was one such student who talked about a terrifying night: "दो लड़कों नोटीरिणस दक पहुलरटट दट पस पसलाटट देकिध औिपोर्ट दर्ज नहीं की गई." Local officials have been ordered to tighten security in a number of well-known hill stations where Kashmiri vendors travel periodically due to allegations of damage, abuse, and slurs directed at stalls associated with Kashmir. Voices Demanding Peace and Harmony Leaders in politics and civil rights have denounced the violence and urged people not to generalize about a whole community. Altaf Bukhari, the leader of the J&K Apni Party, said on Wednesday: Attacking defenseless Kashmiris in India will only aid extreme groups in their victory. We must stand together rather than apart. Human rights attorney Vrinda Grover also cautioned that such retaliatory actions may cause unfairness and long-term alienation, particularly among Kashmiri youth enrolled in Indian mainland schools. The Statements of the Authorities Although local police units in Mussoorie and Dehradun have started patrolling areas with a large concentration of Kashmiris, no central government statement has yet to directly address the surfacing videos. According to reports, the Union Home Ministry requested that states "ensure safety of Kashmiri citizens and avoid escalation of communal sentiments" in an internal recommendation.
