Pahalgam Terror Attack: How the World Responded to an Assault on Humanity
By Rakesh Singh | April 23, 2025
On April 22, 2025, India once again bore the brunt of senseless violence. A brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir claimed 28 innocent lives, including women, children, and foreign nationals from Nepal and the UAE. While our nation mourns, the global conscience has also responded—firmly, vocally, and in solidarity.
Here's how world leaders have reacted, echoing one resounding message: Terror has no place in a civilised world.
1. United States: "We Stand With India"

A Unified Global Voice Against Terror
While India has always shown extraordinary resilience, the time has come for the world to move from condemnation to coordinated action. The global response to the Pahalgam attack sends a strong message—the world is united against terrorism.
But solidarity must translate into strategy.
Support must evolve into solutions.
As I Conclude...
Terrorism isn’t India’s problem alone—it’s a global disease. The bloodshed in Pahalgam was not just an attack on Indian lives—it was an attack on human dignity, global peace, and moral decency.
Let’s ensure this moment is not lost in time.
Let’s act, not just react.
India will rise. The world will watch. And terror will fall.
