All eyes on Pahalgam: What it means and why it's trending on social media 

As the nation mourned the death of at least 26 people in the terrorist attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam, a hashtag on "All eyes on Pahalgam" began to trend on social media to attract the attention of international communities. Several posts that carried the hashtag had digital representations of one of the most famous and heart-wrenching photos taken after the massacre -- of a naval officer shot down by the terrorists while his widow sat nearby, in shock.

The couple from Haryana had gotten married on April 6 and were in Pahalgam for their honeymoon.

Their wedding reception was held on April 19. Lt Vinay Narwal, 26, had joined the Navy just two years ago and was posted in Kochi. "He was married four days ago. Everybody was happy. We have received the information that he was killed by terrorists, and he died on the spot,” one of his neighbours said. On Wednesday, Narwal's widow Himanshi bid a tearful farewell to him.

The terrorist attack has sparked widespread outrage and led to people taking a stand against terrorism under the “All eyes on Pahalgam” banner. The AI-generated image of the Narwal couple appears to have struck a chord with social media users across the world. Several celebrities such as Ram Charan, Randeep Hooda, and Vijay Varma shared the image through their Instagram stories to express their grief, along with calls for justice.
