The Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA (HSS) vehemently condemns the barbaric terrorist assault in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, India on April 22nd, 2025, where innocent Hindu male tourists were isolated, religiously profiled, and brutally murdered in front of their families. This horrific act is not only a crime against individuals and a community but also a vile attack on the very fabric of humanity and civilization, demonstrating a conscious embrace of violence and hatred over peace.
To the families of the victims, we offer our deepest condolences and unshakable support. To the injured, we pray for complete healing. And to the people of Bharat (India), we stand beside you with firm solidarity and profound respect for your courage and resilience.
This heinous act of terror, fueled by a state-sponsored hateful ideology of radical Islamist extremism, starkly exposes the dark forces that continue to undermine global peace and coexistence. It underscores the urgent and critical need for a unified global resolve against these venomous acts and the political powers that enable such instruments of terror.
We appeal to American civic leaders, lawmakers, and society at large to unequivocally stand against terrorism—wherever it manifests—and to support concerted efforts that safeguard innocent lives and promote peace. We urge our members, the broader American Hindu community, interfaith organizations, and all concerned citizens to participate in local vigils and prayers for the victims to attain eternal peace, for solace to the victims’ families, and for a just peace across the globe.
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते ।

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
