Diplomatic Affairs - For many in India, the attack felt like an echo of the October 7 attacks, a reminder that Islamist terrorism is a global phenomenon. Ambassador J. P. Singh spoke to The Jerusalem Post about the attack, including the Indian emotional, political, and military reactions. The attack, near the town of Pahalgam, was felt across India, as victims and survivors came from across the country, and included newlywed officers from the Indian Air Force, Navy, and Intelligence Bureau.
