10. On the Pahalgam terror attack
The editorial on the Pahalgam terror attack is the 10th most read editorial from The Hindu in 2025. “The massacre of 26 people, most of them tourists, in Pahalgam, Kashmir, by Islamist terrorists has jolted the conscience of the nation and the world. It is a tragic reminder of the constant threat of terrorism, which strikes without warning at innocent civilians. The mind-numbing reports of the attackers identifying victims by religion before executing them at close range mark a new low in the history of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism,” said the editorial and concluded that “India’s strategy must be guided by realism grounded in national interest and devoid of empty rhetoric as it seeks to isolate Pakistan, whose export of terrorism is predicated on the two-nation theory and Hindu-Muslim hostility.”
9. On the Guillain-Barré Syndrome outbreak in Pune
