On April 22, 2023, a tragic terror attack occurred in Baisaran, a popular tourist meadow in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily Hindu men, and one Nepalese citizen. The attack, carried out by Pakistan-backed terrorists, targeted tourists in a shocking display of violence. Survivors recounted harrowing experiences, with some being spared only by reciting Islamic verses. The incident led to a significant deterioration in India-Pakistan relations, prompting India to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty and close borders. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. The Resistance Front claimed responsibility for the attack, which was characterized by a brutal method of identifying victims based on their faith. Following the attack, a coordinated military effort, including elite Special Forces, was initiated to track down the terrorists, culminating in the neutralization of the attackers in July 2025 after an extensive operation.
