The Pahalgam terror attack has left the entire nation devastated and reeling at the brutal assassination of 26 innocent tourists, who were targeted just for being Hindu. The horror unfolded in the tranquil valley of Kashmir, where families went in search of peace and pilgrimage, but were instead faced with the horrific tragedy. As India comes to terms with the situation, its ripple effects are being felt not only on diplomatic fronts but also in the personal lives of citizens, including one heartbroken groom from Rajasthan, India and his Pakistani bride.
