<<He [i.e. Shashi Tharoor] also said that while the intent behind the Pahalgam terror attack was to divide people, it brought people together in India, irrespective of their religion or any other divide.

"There was an extraordinary amount of togetherness cutting across religious and other divides that people have tried to provoke. The message is very clear that there was a malign intent... India, sadly, had no reason to doubt where it came from," he said.>>

The factual position, on the contrary, is that the ghastly killings in Pahalgam almost instantaneously triggered a sharp spike in the violence against minority Muslims in general and Kashmirirs in particular all over the country -- mostly orchestrated by the members of the Hindutva Brigade. Here's a partial list:  <https://article-14.com/post/hate-speech-violence-a-lynching-an-arrest-how-the-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-was-used-to-terrorise-indian-muslims--682c05ca182a9>.

The most egregious one, however, is, arguably, when Col. Sophia Qureshi, a Muslim woman officer, who had been chosen by the Indian armed forces to lead a crucial press briefing as regards the Operation Sindoor, would be referred to with evident contempt as a "sister of the terrorists" just because of her religion by a BJP minister from Madhya Pradesh, in a public meeting: <https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJl7hj7TssW/>.
Almost equally so was that, during more or less the same time, a very senior academic of considerable repute was sent behind the bars, on the face of it, primarily because of his Muslim identity, for a pretty scholarly blog he had posted on the social media: <https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19isuEHqtJ>.
