Pahalgam Terror Attack: In the wake of the Pahalgam Terror Attack, India has taken a series of strong and immediate measures as a form of retaliation. These steps, aimed at isolating Pakistan diplomatically and economically, showcase a firm stance by the Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
