I wish all children in India shall remain safe. Best wishes from Pakistan.

Well done schools and Children, you have to understand the menace of terrorism, war and weapons, which is slowly eating our civilization. You have to say No to this all, future is in your hands. May this not happen again, in any form, anywhere in the world. RIP departed Peshawar kids and others !!.

A good gesture...... thanks India

Love you India for standing with Pakistan in this darkest tragedy in country history

India weeps with you.

what a shame !! Indians pray for peshawar victims and support pakistan #indiawithpakistan and greeted back with #StopIndianTerrorismInPak

Thank u India........proves that humanity has no bounderies.

Thanks to all India specially the younger generation for this demonstration of solidarity!

bless you Indians, may your children be safe and happy. despite our political differences you have done more in showing your grief than our Arab brother countries.

So sad to hear about this terrible attack. I cannot even come to terms to say Rest in peace to such young innocent children. When will this cruelty end? Both our countries should stop petty irrelevant fights and focus on well being of each other. After all, our origins are the same divided by a line. I feel so sorry for the parents of the kids who lost their lives. I truly am sorry and sad Pakistan

black day for world.. innocent children dying..

We... as Indian always prayed for world peace....

Thanks Dawn, for posting these moving images fom india.

Truely moving pictures !

Thank you very much my children for remembering your brothers and sisters. You will always be in my thoughts. God bless.

the photos speak for themselves. RIP little flowers. Words can never be adequate to describe the pain. Is there any God up there??? Please give peace to the families.

We are with you Pakistan, our heart goes out to you. We feel terrible. These terrorists must be flushed out. Please help us to help you. Both nations should join hands and clean this land. After all we feel the same emotions, then why can't we work together??? I am all teary now. I am so sorry guys for your loss.

On seeing this photos......................tears started shedding in my eyes..................so touching................................I request all my pakistani brothers stand against those people still distingushing BAD TALIBANS AND GOOD TALIBANS

See the sincerity on each and every face in these pics....it speaks a thousand words....no words are enough to condemn the beasts who killed the children. Rest in peace little ones and when you wake up, may you play joyfully in the garden of God....you are in a better world......we are still stuck with manipulators who divide and kill and make people fight to satisfy their narrow interests.

Knowledge is true power. Grow up children in wisdom and strength and make this world a better place.

Whole world is a family.

Thank you India.My concept about you has totally been changed.

Thanks a lot India, We appreciate your warmth. Where are other countries from 'Muslim Ummah' ?

Thank you India. The pictures are really moving. Look at the sincerity on these faces. May be this generation can forgive and forget whatever has happened between the two neighbours over the last 70 years. May be one day both countries will help each other to fight poverty, disease and injustice instead of fighting each other. We must stand united to keep all children safe on both sides of the border. From, A Pakistani.

@Sudhanshu Swami India always belived since ages : Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (sanskrit) is a Sanskrit phrase which means "the world is one family".

@Irfan Baloch Thank you Irfan. There is absolutely no justification to taking life of others - children or otherwise.

Tears continue to flow all across India ...for the children and the parents. God bless the kids and may there soul rest in peace ...this is inhuman and every human on planet should be with pakistan not only India..

Picture are a thousand words. Shock, grief and pain is so obvious.

It is our children. True, I could not eat the whole day. I wish this did not happen, and the children are alive. Please, please leave children alone!

For Parents , Grand Parents , Nation & the entire Humanity at large there can not be a tragedy worse than losing a Child...Carnage in Peshawar Crossed all limits of barbarism. The Tragedy just stunned all of us in the family........ My heart bleeds for the children who left & Parents and families who have been left to recover from the loss of their loved ones. My family and I pray for the peace of departed souls and beg God to help families who have suffered this big tragedy. Pradeep Bhalla & family from Mumbai, India

I don't know where this world leading to, killing these innocent children from Peshawar. Its darkest day of this century. My heart goes to the families who lost their love ones.

Extremely painful! What was achieved by this cowardly killing of children?

These pictures are louder than words. Thank you India!

Dard Ka Hadd is Barh Jana Us Ka Khud Hi Dawa Ho Jana

@Irfan Baloch Irony is you still use the words like "Our Arab brothers". Really strange. You can marry with an Indian but can't with Arabs as they don't allow. Now you wonder where the real problem lies. You forget who is your real cousin brother?

Pakistan and India had suffered a lot and are suffering a lot due to terrorism. I hope Pakistan Government will stood firm and take very strict action on these enemy of the humanity.

Thank you Dawn. I definitely reckoned you as a great peace bringing element in the Indo-Pak society. Thank you ones again. and RIP to the flowers of the Peshawar and deepest condolence to their parents.

Lets stand together to stamp out extremism in all its forms. We are thankful to India for expression of grief and sympathy with us.

Thank you India for standing with us during this difficult time. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

my wife and i could not stop ourselves when my mother started crying seeing television news channels. my baby is just a month old and the grieving parents' faces merged with ours. doesn't matter from which part of the border we are, end of the day we take solace in our family, our children. Peshawar, we could not unite in our joys, but today unite in our grief. please accept our condolences.

My heart and soul grieves with you all, our brothers and sisters and children in Pakistan. Terrorism of any kind has no honor and no religion. These terrorists cowards have lost their souls for whatever cause that they justify their actions with. To the parents of the kids in the military school, please accept my deepest condolences. Wish there was something that I could do.

This is not a time for blame game..Unite..unite in ur thoughts

Excellent...first step in healing of a fractured subcontinent?

The Indian nation shares the grief and distress of our brothers and sisters in Pakistan. May god give courage to the bereaved families and help them cope with this loss.

today, I shocked to listen a heinous crime by terrorist in a school .its very coward action by terrorist

I see hope in the future. Please stop this hatered. Let love bloom let our children grow up in peaceful future My heart bleeds for my children in Pakistan they r my nieces my sons n daughters A hurt Indian

the sincerity in these children's eyes is extremely touching. #indiawithpakistan

Very touching . We all bleed the same.

we feel the same pain as the families of the children are feeling.... Ankur Jain, Delhi India.

Thanks Indian fellow for gesture of love

For the last two days, tears have not dried up from my eyes, hurt is too much to express. RIP in little angels. I wish nobody ever see this kind of brutality again, let this one be the last.

Humanity has no boundaries. Many Thanks for your prayers.

This is very nice. I hope we all can live in peace. Terrorist will try to divide us but lets not allow them success. Thank you India.

No Words to Express , but one thing i can say We Are With You.

Me and my family are in shock since yesterday. Everyone looks disturbed after seeing pics of those parents. We can feel the pain here in India.

Pakistan and India If our politicians are not able to make peace with India - our children will do it and the children in India! Salaam, Namaste, Sat Sri Akal, Shalom... Religion should not be misused by politicians for their dirty politics! dr yahya

Thank you all ! May you all be safe !

I have seen tears in eyes of many Indians. The children who lost their lives are our children as much as they are your children.The pain in heart is more unbearable because we are unable to do anything except express our sorrow in words.We wish we could do something to help; anything at all.

Civilization re establishing itself. After a brutal attempt to bury it.

By God still tears in my eyes , we Indians are with you . May God give strengths to those all moms who lost there loving innocent kids ...am speechless now my Pakistani brothers and sisters

Today my state Kerala observed 2 minute silence for the Peshawar angels........RIP

we Indians are crying at this brutality :( Each member of family has tears in eyes

Our prayer goes out to all the family members who lost their beloved-----jijo ,kochi,jndia

Every indian school is praying for peshawar students safety

India and Pakistan must know that terrorism is our enemy. No religion can justify this attack.

Such a heartrending tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with our Pakistani brothers and sisters. We feel your pain and anguish. May this cowardly challenge to humanity trigger a wave of compassion and understanding.

We should set aside what we have been preserving since last 67 years and should think about better things now. Think about the future we have. Future of new generation. Do we really want to give them this hatred as our legacy?

What a shame that we humans are killing our own kids..

@Nitesh, It is a shame. As a Pakistani I totally agree.

I am still thinking how can someone kill childrens. Pakistan must find out these rowdies to book.

@NASIR we stand with our brothers and sisters in pakistan.

I think time has come to break the boundaries and fight against the terrorist together as we stood against the British..... Ankur Jain , Delhi, India.

time has come for another gandhi to rise

@Dr yahya ..... Unka kaam ahle siyasat jaane, mera kaam jaha tak mubabbat pahuche... We are with you Dr. in this difficult time.

@Irfan Baloch , Amen

No doubt! Religion, ... may it be any ... first teaches humanity! United we are ... against any terrorism! Be it carried out by any!

Tears were rolling down my cheeks and throat got chocked when I saw the pictures of mutilated bodies of innocent children being made target of the cowardly terrorists. The whole world should unite to eliminate this virus. I am unable to find the right word that would express my condolence to the grief stricken parents.

RIP LITTLE KIDS. Terrorism has no boundry. Feeling same pain. At my workplace everybody was shocked and sad. Why kids???? #indiawithpakistan.

When we used to play in our colony, our mother always used to get mad at us even though she knew we would be home before sunset. My heart goes to those mothers who will wait dusk after dusk for the children who will never return. No matter what we do, we can't bring those precious lives back. Nobody deserves a untimely death, esp. not our children. We will talk about it today, may be tomorrow and may be a day after, but one day the world would move on. But how will the grieving mothers and fathers move on? Dear Pakistanis, we stand with you in this hour of grief and we know no words can be good enough to lessen your pain, but let us cry with you and share your grief. May be, God will be moved by seeing it, may be HE will ensure no other parent in this world has to experience this pain. Prayers from India.

I watched these pictures many times in past few hours, I notice absolute sincerity and pain on each face! I feel very proud for my Indian roots. God bless ALL children in the world!

Let there be light and peace..let there be happiness across the border . I am confident that our young generation of this sub continent will bring the bright future. Go ahead our future generation. Make this world a beautiful place to live. No expression is enough to show our grief and pain !

WELL DONE....AMAN KI ASHA

Sad but it seems that we are not learning anything... Just old story and now we are speaking useless things on twitter #StopIndianTerrorismInPak. We are with Pakistan but is pakistan with pakistan or still we are living in different world?

ALLAH keep safe all student all over the world. terrorism have no religion

Dear brothers and sisters across the border, we feel your pain and agony as parents, siblings, grand-parents and friends, neighbors and fellow humans. Please do not thank us, it is just a natural outpouring of human empathy.

Can't imagine the pain of the parents of those little ones lost. Condolences from the heart for their families. Hope the others will recover from the trauma they went through.

With a very Heavy Heart I appeal to all.......please spare children from the politics of adults' misguided ideologies.....they are too innocent and pure to be made target of hatred. May God give eternal peace to the departed souls , fortitude & strength to the bereaved families to bear this irreparable loss.

Futures shattered:'( :'( We are with you Pakistan........ What did those innocent kids do ?? :( We are equally weeping for the loss of those kids..... May Lord Ram give the families all the strength and courage........ Deepest condolences from India

Almost every Indian has tearz in his eyes after this massacre......thanks Dawn for spreading Love....

We Indians are with you, we pray for your safety and prosperity.... Love you all and be safe. #indiawithpakistan

Thanks to Indian public for supporting us in this tragic moment. May GOD bless you.

Respect!!!!!

Humanity have not any Boundaries....After all India and Pakistan born from one Motherland...we feel same pain as Pakistani feel about their children..

My heart weeps for the departed little angels and their bereaved parents. I was literally in tears watching news here in India.......

Dipak@TQ : God bless all children and people of the world from any form of terrorism. May peace and brotherhood prevail forever.

Ham shayad har gaye....jab unn haiwano...ne 140 sapno ka katal kar diya...par inn picture ko dekh k aisa laga... mano...jaise ek umeed ki kiran jaag utthi... hai... We are with you pakistan.... Ishwar...rehmat barse unn pariwaro par jinhone ne apno ko khoya #Indiawithpakistan

I look at the old pictures from Army School, Peshawar, and I think of my own school days in Bangalore. Back then, we knew innocence. I am choking up for these young ones and their families. Dear God, please comfort Pakistan.

Line of control is only in land , not in heart , We are here to share and wipe your tears too, and strongest solidarity to fight against terror. " Fallen flowers may leave their fragrance behind "

Thanks India and particularly students! You have shown class. May our two countries become friends forever.

We share our culture, our ancestors and your children are children of our family too. Let us remove all our misunderstandings. And let us unite in our minds before we need another tragedy to unite us.

Wow! Nice to see that it has caused such a stir even in India. Hope this causes a tsunami of social movement to root out the menace of terrorism in the region.

Civilization and Education brings changes into society, and will get rid of divisions based on color, language, religion or else. The future is in the hands of new generations, and like in post war Europe its time both Pak & Ind to make effort to be friends and neighbours! Hate-Violence-Weapons brings only death & destruction!

Love you India.

@Iqhlaq Ahmed (lahore) Quite a few countries of the "Ummah" have internal problems themselves? Terror and civil strife? They cannot be too involved about Pakistan's problems?

My heart felt sympathies.

please for 5 minutes forget about what religion we are from , think about the small little angels who never deserved this fate. Why our ego and religion comes in the way of humanity. Why do we think of others as they are less then us. Equality - treating everyone as a human being - that should make this world a better place but why doesn't it happen.

I am a teacher in south India. Today, large number of my students have assembled on their own with candles to express solidarity with the angels we lost at Army Public School. Many of them were in shock, disturbed and many were in tears while discussing the tragedy to the Peshawar children. They told us to intimate their prayers to the parents and siblings of the Army school students. We are with you Pakistan...

I have experienced a hollow deep sinking feeling whole day after reading that kids were shot at point blank by the enemies of humans. I hope Bhagwan/Allah/Jesus/Waheguru, etc; give you all enough strength and courage to overcome the worst moment ever to happen in your country. May those wo died their souls rest in peace. HARI OM!!

RIP innocents . Hope terror will end soon .

A Canadian of Indian origin stand with people of Pakistan MAY GOD HAVE MERCY on departed .

Thanks

very heartbreaking.

Almost everyone in our Family and Friends had Tears in our eyes looking at images of this ruthless massacre of innocent children. Our Hearts feel your Pain. Indians share your pain and understand what you are going through. These Terror acts are It's inhumane. We Pray to God these Terror organizations are wiped out from the face of earth.

@Amit That hashtag is used by a small number of uneducated lunatics who are inspired by Zaid Hamid and the like. Just like, a small percentage of Indians have celebrated the attack and called is a revenge for the Mumbai attacks. However, the majority of Pakistanis, including myself have been touched and are extremely grateful towards the general Indian response, warmth and empathy and would remember it fondly for many many years to come@

It is a sad episode in the history of the two countries which I I believe are estranged brothers. We need to unite and not allow our land to be exploited by such maniacs who are real kafirs. There is love and affection that millions of people in these two great countries share. Let's build our future together, let's have peace and prosperity in both the countries. We need each other. May God bless the souls of little angels who sacrificed their lives.

Thank you India. Words can not describe the beauty of these pictures.

Tears have rolled down my cheeks every time I have watched horrible scenes of killing of very lovely innocent children in a Peshawar school. I thought as if they were all my own grand children. My heart goes out to the parents of those innocent children. All humanity needs to unite to root out the perpetrators of such heinous crime. Let us rise above nationality and religion and act as human beings.

Why can't adults learn from children - sometimes? This world can be a much safer place to live in!

Very moving....they are all our children whether they live on east of the border or west. They deserve peace, dreams, and good life. I hope all children of this sub-continent never see such tragedy again.. Thank you India for standing with us and wish for the day that we will become good friends and great neighbors.

We live in sydney we from india when yestrday watching news from Aaj Tak from pakistan My wife start craying so sad all our pryers with you pepol

beautiful images - we all need to stand together against violence and hate of the few

Thank You Dawn for posting these Pictures and letting the whole world know about the classy gesture of indian's towards the merciless killing of children in pakistan. And great job for striving towards to promote healthy relationship between the people of india and pakistan.

Every time I see a picture of another mother in mourning, the tears flow anew. I am gutted and enraged.

These images are so genuinely moving. Thanks to our Indian brothers and sisters for this heartfelt expression of peace, love and tolerance. We must resolve to know each other better as human beings, to overcome historical prejudice and live together as peaceful and thriving neighbors.

God bless you India

Rest in peace little angels. Whether in India or Pakistan you are all gods beautiful flowers. We share your grief & sorrow.

God bless India. How wrong I have been. I am not ashamed to admit it. I cry when I should sleep. I seek answers to unanswerable questions when I should be clearing my mind after just another work day. Nothing seems the same today. These children on both sides of the border, in life and in death, have taught me more than any book, orator or philosopher ever would be able to. Jai Hind. Pakistan Zindabad. I demand an end to terrorism and I call for peaceful resolution of all of our problems from this day forward.

Brothers and sisters of Pakistan. I am an Indian living in the USA for the last 33 years. I buy groceries from a Pakistani restaurant. I have Pakistani friends and enjoy Pakistani songs and drama. You can see that the real enemy is Taliban and not India. Put India on your side and they will gladly come and help rid your country of the Taliban.

"Small coffins... are heavy to carry..." RIP little birds... Terrorism has no religion... What was the children's fault? India is with you Pakistan in grief and pain...

This is not merely two minutes of silence or a prayer. These are the seeds of a bond that is going to form between children from both sides. The least that we can do is to allow this bond to flourish. This is the best way to honour the sacrifices of the young ones.

Pictures speak 1000s of words. Thanks dawn for posting these pictures. Hope they are eye opener for politicians in both countries.

Looking at these kids, I have immense hope for our nations. We will live in peace and love - Inshallah !!

@kanhaiya Thank You.

My heart cries for the children who died and even more for those who witnessed the carnage. So young impressionable minds losts

No parent in the world should see such horrific day, RIP to little ones and condolences to those who lost their loved ones.

The solidarity of INDIAN Children towards their brothers and sisters in Peshawar is deeply touching.

If this outpouring grief and sincerity cannot bring India and Pakistan together what else will?? Thank you Dawn for publishing these pictures.

16 december i could never forget.i kept icecream inside the freezer which i brought for my kids instead of giving it to my kids. tears were rolling down on my wifes chiks, 1oo times she uttered one sentence " how can they kill inocent children. god where are you. kids from pakistan is like kids from neighbour house we all have same origin. pakistan we all are with u. it has really shakened all of us. blody tererosits

Sad Sad Sad............world!

two days over......tears still not dried up, dearest angles rip, parents of the Angels, our deepest sympathies in the troubled and painful times.

Thank you India

No words or expression are enough to condemn the act of utmost brutality. My thoughts and prayers are with the Pakistani families who lost their budding hopes. May god give them strength to bear the immense loss. Ashabikash

I was deeply saddened by the news. My heart felt condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones.. #IndiawithPakistan - This is not just a Tag line but we genuinely feel the pain and are with you in this tragic moment.

Can not still come to terms with this! How can someone so methodically shoot kids?....Tears will dry, but Pakistan should not leave anyone who is behind this, make a genuine effort and do not spare the planners and perpetraturs even if they are hiding in another planet.The in-humans should be finished

When some one in my brothers family passes away especially a child it is a time to mourn. A time to feel pain of the loss. A time to think what each family would be going thru. While...its not possible to be there with you and hold you when you break from feel shattered but the fact is each one of us here in India is crying for the pain of our lost brothers. Deeply deeply hurt.

May God protect you from such events

We share ur pain. Lets join hands to end the menace of barbarism together. We all shedding tears as the news poured in. Lets pray for those serene souls lost in the mayhem. We Indians are here for u.

Speechless! No words to condemn these barbaric terrorists! Can't stamp as inhuman, can't call them animals as no subhuman species has ever displayed this kind of cruelty towards its own species! !! If the neighbor is in danger we are also not safe. That's why we are even more concerned. We are anxious for the safety of our friends and relatives in Pakistan and deeply concerned about our own safety here in India. These mindless hemophilic beasts know no borders! I am sure Peshawar will never be the same again. Juat imagine how many parents have lost their children. A 5 yr old girl was killed on her first day at school. Is this the deadliest ever act of terrorism on the soil of Pakistan? Will the politicians wake up now? Will they?

Peace, respect, and Good faith in each other will take both of our countries far and away from this dastardly acts of cowardliness. Our problems are same, then why add one more problem by hating each other? Lets join hands and fight the other problems together. Heartfelt condolences to the families where kids never made it back from the school.

There’s a bullet in my backpack, It went through my math textbook.. The lunch box may have a hole I haven’t had a chance to look. There’s a bullet in my backpack, My homework is now ruined, The pen may not write anymore, I haven’t even tried. There’s a bullet in my backpack. I brought a flower for the teacher. The petals are now all over, Wont be able to collect them forever. There’s a bullet in my backpack. But my friends aren’t making fun of me. They seem to be quiet for long. And I don't want them to be. There’s a bullet in my backpack. And the teacher is fine with it. She hasn't scolded me today, She’s staring at the ceiling far away. There’s a bullet in my backpack, It tore through my shirt, I think. Sorry mom, I will need a new uniform. This one is stained by red ink. There’s a bullet in my backpack, I don't know who put it there. In the name of God or whoever, Don't know why but it's hurting everywhere. 16-December-2014

Thank you India! We appreciate your sentiments in these moments of intense grief.

The smallest coffins are the heaviest. We are with you Pakistan at this moment, RIP angels.

No words....My condolence to the people of Pakistan....

It should not stop now. Not in a week, Not in a month and Never until the last monster of terrorism is flushed out from this earth. There cannot be anything more inhumane than killing toddlers from point blank range. A girl went to school first day never to come back :( We in India understand and share the pain of each parent and entire pakistan. We are with you and request you to start your fight against terrorism and keep it on till it reaches to the end of terrorism.

Its no longer a Pakistani or Indian...its children ...there could be no more words ...its all tears from India ....Whoever is a mom and Dad, they could feel the pain....

Feeling really sad. Only we Indians can really feel the pain of Pakistan now. I can proudly say this since Pakistanis are not our neighbor but you all our true Brothers. This is true. Differences between two countries can hide this fact but this is a big truth. We are always with you.

@Irfan Baloch we ARE your brothers. The Arabs are the foreigners. When will you understand that?

These pictures are really moving . It is not just the loss of 140 lives, the very idea of attacking young innocent children is nothing but devilish . There is no justification in any terrorism. Compassion should be the corner stone of any religion. When we help others we are angels and the servants of God . When we hurt others we are devils and the agents of Saitan ! India and Pakistan should live in peace and concentrate their efforts in improving the living standards of their people.

@ROHIT PANDEY - Aptly said.

RIP to all little and innocent children. Terrorism has no religion, May allah spread universal brotherhood all around the world.

Dear pakistani citizens.... 70 years ago we were united. We share common decency towards humanity. Even across borders you still remain bonded to us. We are unable to forget the images and the seer barbarity. I hope peace prevails and its time for the citizens of your great country tell the politcians what to do, instead of allowing them to do things on their own. An entire group of blooming young children wiped out ????? My heart still is bleeding with anger. RIP young buds. We havefailed you as elders and take responsibility. Will carry this guilt forever. We hope this is the last ever act of barbarity onto the future citzens of pakistan, asia, world. Bhaskar chennai south india

We unite after paying the worst possible price.... We are United under one flag i.e. HUMANITY

As a human being, a father, and an Indian, my prayers and deepest condolences to the affected families and all people of Pakistan for this senseless act.

Thanks for taking this peace message across pakistan. Let pakistan common citizen understand, we are all from same blood. please don't permit your soil to nurture 'Jihad' against India. There is not Good & Bad terrorists. Please don't make such barbarian as Hero or Freedom Fighters. The result of terrorism is unbearable pain. You know now, how painful this is. then why did you openly support the same against India.

My heart cringes every time I think of this heinous crime. My thoughts are with those that parents that are affected by this senseless killing. May GOD grant them strength and fortitude to pick up the threads of their lives again.

This pain is unbearable ... be it Peshawar, Mumbai or New York ... no reason in the world allows killing of innocents. We the people have to STOP allowing the hatred spreaders like Hafiz Sayeed, be in Pakistan or India ... till the time such Hatred Spreaders exist, innocent children will be killed or orphaned.

we deeply condole this. still some people in Pakistan telling RAW did this. guys in pakistan dont listen some illogical allegations by musharaf n hafiz saeed. u just check the history before independent also how peaceful indians are. yes we do have difference in kashmir also that is a fact because it is disputed land. you can not put blame on india only. some mistake done by india n some by pakistan also there.

Body language of each and every children in these pics shows how serious and genuine they are at this age while offering prayers, and not just gathering just because teachers asked them to do.

RIP little souls. How can anybody hurt children. Pakistan please finish of these Mullahs, LET, TALIBAN, JUD, TEHREEK TALIBAN & WHAT NOT

Thank you India.In this hour of grief, your support means the world to us. From a Pakistani. Jai Hind.

Whole world is our family. Tribute to all those who lost their life in such incident. it's very painful that terrorist are killing our member of family even children . There is no good terrorism and bad terrorism, it's only terrorism that destroy humanity. it seems a country became victim of his own creation.

Truly moving images - an extraordinary gesture of humanity from invaluable children fraternity of India. We all hope and pray that the pain of the parents who lost their little angels, and the little angels who lost their mothers or fathers in the Peshawar carnage may subside. May the fact that the whole world weeps with them and stand in solidarity with them in this most trying hour, bring some relief to their minds.

great coverage. even indian media did not cover it this big. the children who were gunned down are yours and ours and of the whole world. may be this is the beginning of the end of terrorism. in kerala where i live there is a saying 'in bad times wrong thoughts'. when a downfall is imminent we are forced to think in the wrong direction. these thoughts are destined to take us to the downfall. that probably is an explanation for this dastard act.

Prayers from India. We are with you during this tough time brothers and sisters..

'Terrorism has no religion' 'Love has no boundaries' Thank you neighbors. Let's all strive for a compassionate and humane world.

For the last two days , my blood is boiling with anger and at the same time my heart is with the parents who lost their children. The mood here in India is grim because the children is the most beautiful creation of nature. I request you as an Indian Citizen that please protest against some heartless thugs who wants to indirectly blame India for this heinous and dastardly crime. Take it from me that my wife and mother cried like anything after seeing this horrific act on Television. We cannot bring back those sweet brave heart children but please let their spirit never die down as passage of time. Please capture those culprits and do justice to those who lost their children.

we are the child of same mother and we are always be with u..despite of being divided by boundaries we are still joined by heart..#RIPthosechildren #IndiawithPakistan

It is good to see our children learning humanity, love and peace since childhood. I am sure the coming generation will make this world much better. We have taken many steps of evolution in society and humanity since ancient, medieval to modern. My deepest condolence for Pakistani families who lost their children in the brutal attack on humanity.

@Irfan Baloch This is the first time I saw somebody getting this many votes in DAWN. Congratulations. Keep up the good work...

We Indians feel and share pain of our Pakistani brothers. Words can not describe how sad we all are feeling. I am very much thankful to Dawn for posting these images. It may help people on the other side of border to understand us better.

@pagrri Sanbhaal Thanks to DAWN for changing at least one persons attitude for good.

@Sudhanshu Swami This is for what INDIA's motto is...

The Solidarity show of Indian kids with Pakistani kids is a good gesture I new generations will come up with new Hoppppppppppppppes.....

I have been reading news on Dawn and must say that I weep couple of times watching pictures of parents suffered in this heinous attack in Pak army school. We Indians pray for the peace of the departed school childrens and their teachers. We pray to god to give courage and perseverance to affected families and the Pak Nation to overcome this huge loss. Patriotic Indian

Do we really need sacrifices of our children to get united against terror????? :(

I wish Children in India should be safeguarded and Government should be ready to tackle any such attempts. There is no way you can avoid your country longer unless you hit them from their bases. India should start offensive operation to eliminate terrorist base camps located in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir - muzaffarabad and bring back Davood and Hafiz Saied back to India for further trial.

Sri. Sathyarthi the noble laureate said , '' take me and leave these children ''. Several Indians condole the death of these young buds before they could see the world.

@Irfan Baloch Because we belong to the same civilization and lived under common tree for ETERNITY WHO knows how long.... Religion is personal and shouldnt create physical borders..Even it does, solidarity should remain for our past is always with us...Arabs only traded with you..We lived with you just like common citizens..

Everyone here in India from My Cook to Dhobi , everyone is talking about how painful and heartening this massacre is. Not just in India but Im sure Entire world feels the pain . STOP Hatred . THIS Should never happen to anyone ever again

Thank You India

i am not able to hold tears reading all the comments , i cried when i watched on the tv, i too have kids , no words can console those mothers and fathers , all the asian governments have to come together to chase these extremists and put them behind bars so that all our children and the humanity is safe , may god bless the children who lost their lives RIP , satya and family , hyderabad , india.

India cries and weeps with you Pakistan. Tears have been rolling down these cheeks everytime I read anything about this brutal and inhuman massacre of innocent children. What a shame that we have not been able to root out such inhumamity from the face of this earth. What else will it take? Let us resolve that we will never let this happen to any child again. Terrorism in all forms must be wiped out NOW.

@Nitesh This is a difficult time for our neighbours. I'm sure we can ignore such fringe voices and stand with Pakistan at this dark hour. No parent should send their children to school fearing they may never come back.

@Saeed If anybody supported or spoken in favor of unfortunate incident of Army School, Peshawar they have the same status of killers. All those who heart would have cried atleast siliently.

@Fawad - 2000% true....

Eyes are filled with tears. Nothing can ever justify the killing of innocents. I hope that Pakistani politicians, brothers and sisters will wake up. --Indian (By birth I am Hindu, and humanity will remain my religion forever).

:'(

I looked at these photos of our kids from India, and thought of those kids in Peshawar.. and I cry again.

That's very good practice of love by Indian students since children are children. They have only one relegion.... That is LOVE. I'm sure if such incident would have happen in India, several schools in Pakistan would go same way..(praying).

These angels will remain in our hearts forever.And angels dont belong to a country, they belong to entire universe.May God give their families strength to face the very hard time.

@sindhu shah yes, I wrote that only, used English as sanskrit may not be understood by all readers here. We Indians truely believe in all mighty God and that world (Everyone) is creation of God and we are family members. There may be many ways of worship but God is one.

No wards ....only tears in eyes.....

why do people like musaraf & hafiz saeed spread such hatred speech. why do they dont want two countries to come together. why do.?? we all indian are with pakistan & family of pakistan. with love shahid khan shahidshan66@gmail.com

As a kid I read that a child is the father of a man. Today I understood the meaning Actually I feel ashamed that I am a human being ! RIP little flowers and excuse your fathers whonever thought of giving up hatered and protecting you

@Irfan Baloch yes..exactly...But i guess your brother Arab countries are more worried with the falling crude prices than the killing of childrens.

Yes, We are brothers Mr. Irfan. We are more closer to each other than anybody in the world. Same food, Same Culture and same blood. We fought together with English people. If we are not with you at this time then I will never forgive myself. Our children died. They are sons of my pakistani brothers and my nephew. @Irfan Baloch. Now it is time to fight for each other not against each other.

Hey...Our PM asked 2 mnts silence in all Indian schools for innocent kidz...

Just can't imagine what has happened in Peshawar. How could they kill children. Every time I see the pictures my eyes get misty. Hope this never happens again anywhere in world. Rest in peace little flowers...

@SALEEM ......... Yes it will but only after Zia Haque Idealogy fathered generation in Pakistan is long gone.

@Irfan Baloch mere bai irfan, u know that we all just born on diffrent woombs without any reasons of god, we are all humans, we were fighting, teesing, sharing a our emotions, but dont know why, we share the same blood, colour, what not, but still please forgive me , there is only emotions, that we are one, just think about this life, do our duties, raise our families , guys our elders have seen so many worst conditions, but still we have surived, what does it meens? dont know what else to say, best of luck to your kind.

I am an officer in the Indian Army and my kids also study in Army School. Children, including my own, cried today in the school assembly. Let us learn from them. We are enemies only because of our vested political and personal interests. The Indian Army do not have even 1% of the political clout that the Pak Army has. Only the Pakistan Army and its choices can change our future discourse. It is a big choice Sir, but I urge you Gen Raheel Sharif to make it happen.

Kuch To Sharam Aayi Hogi,. Goli Jab Tumne Chalaai Hogi,. Nanhe Bachche The Sab, Jinko Maara,. Masoomon Ne Tum Sabka, Kya Bigaada,. Kya Cheekh Tumhe Sunaai Na Di,. Tadapti Jaan Kya Dikhaai Na Di,. Kis Kaleje Se Bandook Chalaai Tumne,. Insaaniyat Ki Gardan Jhukaai Tumne,. Kya Milaa Masoom Charaagon Ko Bhujaakar,. Kya Milaa Kisi Ka Ghar Jalaakar,. Khuda Tumhe Na Maaf Karega,. Tumhaare Saath Wo Insaaf Karega,. Dil Roya Bohat Is Baar Kafan Dekhkar,. Maa Ki Godd Mein Bachchon Ka Sar Dekhkar,.....! I never forget 26/11 , mardood taliban he had done agin .

Our deepest sympathy to our pakistani brother and sisters in this difficult times. May OUR kids who lost their lives rest in peace. May the lord give the bereaved families the strength, solace.

India has been shell shocked and in grief because of this incident. No words can console the grief the parents are in today. You are in our prayers, hope the little angels are in the welcoming arms of the almighty..

@Ghanshyam tailor thankyou! every one in india, we feel better on ready all comments. sam

@Md jawed@india Very well written. It reflects our sentiments too.

While enire Indian community is standing in grief with Pakisatan and mourning for childeren, Parvez Musharraf and Sayeed are blaming India for this attack. These shameless people will never understand humanity.

Where is Zaid Hamid? Indian and infidels conspiracy? Why don't you mend your ways and look at your neighbours in a different way? Can you give peace a chance?

Look at these innocent souls who are praying for my kids. God bless u my children. May you remain safe from any harm and hatred on the basis of faith, color, creed, language. Just be good humans (as you have showed). Thank you India. We will remember. And for my Pakistani friends... have any of your so-called brother Islamic countries have shown any grief, mercy, solidarity (they are actually the cause of this mayhem). Look who feels your pain despite the unfortunate history... Please be human....please leave the hatred....please be friends with civilized, educated and kind people instead of trying to follow ....religious fanatics... hate mongers... uncivilized....tribal kings

All of us were in tears when we heard this. Black Day for the entire world. India is with you, guys. This political divide must end and together we should wipe out these terrorists.

dear pakistan i would like to say you that indians are crying since this incident happened...but now its your duty to understand india and take an action against mumbai 26/11 mastermind .........if you really want to come against terrorism then kindly do this...neither your country will be destroyed by your people one day........

Heart felt condolences from we Indians. But just compare it with celebration in PAKISTAN at the time of 26/11 . Then you will understand the root cause of bloodshed in Pakistan.

Word's cannot express the sadness we feel for you dealing with the death of the Innocent Childrens.

Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise, and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That's really where failure comes. Tom Cochrane WE ARE EXTREMELY SORRY FOR YOU GUYS. Hope n pray these episodes never repeated on either side of the border.

Well done Dawn...You picked the peace element and what is in the inner heart of common man... This is the ethics and it should be.. I appreciate your sincere effort in highlighting our love towards our pakistani brothers and sisters..As a father of two I am really disturbed to see the painful images from peshwar army school.. I am feeling in my heart how my those innocent lovely angels must have suffered from the hands or those ignornant idiots....I am feeling the pain of all those parent whose dream was shattered due to this henious act. Hope our Pak siblings will understand who are real brothers and sisters.. I appreciate Indian govt's actions to become a part of pak's hard time and sorry of families. Seeing the innocence and sincerity in these pictures I feel like this is time we have to unite and stand for well being of our nations and its prosperity and to fight together against terrorism.. I pray to God than this type of henious crimes aganist humanity may stop and people shall live in peace. Rest in peace my little children. My heart felt condolense all parents in peshwar. God bless

Yeh hamarey phool hen..... yeh hamara mustaqbil hen...... !

I pray for Allaha's blessings for all the children of India and Pakistan.

If every adult has a pure heart like a child, there will be no hostilities. Let us assume for a while that we on both sides are children and we strive for co-operation, love, pace and affection with each other. Enemies will derail and will be demolished automatically. Thank you India for very kind and heartly prayers for those who have left us. They have marked their deaths for peace and stability. Let their sacrifices do not go in vain. It is time to go after those hounds and finish them all. Hard job for Pakistan Army. I believe every Indian will stand with Pakistan at this difficult time.

@Saeed dear Saeed,none here in India have called it revenge . we all are dumb struck with the kind of ferocity unleashed. We are unable to come to terms with this attcak. We are so grieved and we can feel the pains of parents who lost their children. We are ony able to see small hands going up and beautiful eyes looking at us with all the innocense. That is why children are GODS we call them so... We are miserbale . Sp please dont even say any one here says it is revenge. It hurts us... regards GOD BLESS

Our hearts cries seeing this sinful act by the terrorists. Prayers to the parents of these children and the family members of every human killed. May god give all strength to bear it. Hope the government takes a strong action on all these terrorists.

i salute you my boys and girls kindly accept our heartfelt sincere tks may allah shower his blessings up on you all and protect forever

Aah..bless you India. We Pakistanis are totally broken.

@Your brothers from India Thanx all Indian brothers that shared condolence and sympathy. Children has no religion, not biased to creed, colour, or race. So why they were targeted? Both India and Pakistan should avoid blame game and collectively to counter terrorism.

Our prayers are always with all the young little one who lost life in the devastating terror attack. God bless PAK to overcome this situation.

@Nitesh There will always be kooks and conspiracy theorists who need to dream up fantasies to avoid seeing the truth. Do the Taleban speak for Pakistan? Does the Hindu Mahasabha which wants Godse's statue in public spaces speak for India? Is Obama a Kenyan Muslim? Were there WMD in Iraq?

Touched my heart. Children are angels of God. They follow the best religion, that is humanity. Hope we can blur the narrow lines of religion, color, language and ethnicity and build a better world for them.

We Indians are like your brothers and are always with you.

I hope this tragedy brings a tectonic shift in Pakistan....and it lets reason dictate what they believe in.....not religion.

Hindustan had always pray Shanti Aman and hates all ty of Violence & Terrorism. What happened at Peshawar school is total UNACCEPTABLE !!!

Dear children we are grateful to you. You know that we are in shock and deep grief but can say that we are broken. The fault is of our policy makers that they have been using terrorists as proxies. Now snakes turned against them also and stung the little flowers also. Until our policy makers realize importance of neighboring countries like India and Afghanistan we can not get rid of such terrorism and barbarism. Once again thank you children. We know sound of your weep and that is the sound of our children are same.

ITS MODI call and its value in India as NARENDRA MODI ASKED ALL SCHOOLS TO OBSERVE MOURNING for 2 minutes and is been implemented. That is the power of democracy, the leader has to lead from front. HOPE Pakistan will too have such leader who only thinks about Pakistani peoples well being, poverty eradication, proper education to enhance livelihood. IF Gandhi and Jinnah look at us from heavens they will weep for what's going on in our countries. Pakistani democracy need to be strengthened with military under the control of democracy until that is not achieved its very difficult to achieve peace. Only people of Pakistan can do that by forcing Pakistan government to take strong steps to build good relations with india. India will do everything under modi to restore peace and harmony upto using its military to combat terrorism and all it needed is Pakistan should seek it and stand by MODI.

Dear Pakistan .. Please do not forgive them. Kill them in a way that it would fear event to the death itself. I beg. Please don't forgive don't forget. An indian

Spare a thought for the surviving children who lived through the horror. Some of then witnessed their friends die next to them, or a teacher burned alive. A large number of them must be living through nightmares and will require help. I sincerely hope they can get over this trauma.

I appreciate the positive gesture from India. All we need to understand is that we are not enemy we all are human beings and we are same.For every inhuman activity we should stand together. I pray to Allah that every child on this earth stay safe from such attacks and Terrorists(Aameen).

It's tragic and really disturbing to me ever since I heard the news and the pics of innocent. The perpetrators cannot be called human beings. Hope Pak takes a lesson and root out the evils from its land. It's extremely painful to even think about what must have gone though with the children during the massacre. May the souls rest in peace..

We are same, Indians and Pakistanis, blood, culture, and what have you. Let's get together to wipe out the menace of terrorism

Realized the inability of words to express the emotion and heaviness of our heart.

Thanks to Dawn for posting these pictures which gave people from both sides an opportunity to grieve and convey messages after this incident. I know I could not stop tear from dripping from my eyes. Narinder ,Virginia ,USA.

Extremely sad at the happening of this tragic event. What life is there for us without our children ? Life looses it's very purpose. The parents of lost children will be left with great grief and agony for the rest of their life. God, Bless the children with eternal peace and better world in their ext life. My sincere and deep condolences to parents who lost their children in this most unfortunate event.

Today in Bangalore, many kilometres from Peshawar, a school had its Annual day celebrations. All the guests present observed two minute silence as homage to those innocents who died in the school massacre. Innocent children are Gods gift and are above colour, creed, religion or whatever and the pain inflicted can be felt all over. I hope this is a turning point and lets for a moment believe in peace and crush the hate mongers, else the sacrifice of these children will go waste. I wish never to hear such news again anywhere in the world.

No more bloodshed in Pakistan and India please.

I am feeling sad by this time. It is true that terrorism has no religion. Pakistan has lost 132 children, future of the country for ever. Now it is the high time to set up a common wing with Indian to fight against all patterns of terrorism in the South East Asia to make this zone free from all terrorist group belongs to any country. So both of our country should come together and make joint analysis in the basis of intelligence report take drastic action against all groups belongs to India & Pakistan. This is the only way to give the secured future to the Next Generation of both country.

Pakistan.. whatever happens do not let this issue to be put on the back burner and fade away. Rise to the occasion and keep on doing something so that this issue is alive and kicking and suitable action is taken to wipe out the cowardly vermins and venal creatures from the face of this earth.

@Nitesh Don't think that this is a view held by the majority of Pakistanis. Majority of Pakistanis hold India dear to their heart and want to live in peace and harmony with their Indian brothers and sisters. Peace be to you and all Hindustanis.

most heart-wrenching and cruel - what a world we are leaving behind for our children and now children are the target. We are with the Pakistani people in this hour of mourning. May you find the strength to deal with this horrific loss. I hope we make some space in our hearts for the people on the other side of the border as we bring up our children. This just does not make sense and needs to stop.

Brothers and sisters of Pakistan, please accept our condolences ! India weeps with you ! !

THANKS DAWN SHARING INDIA

Perhaps adult politicians from both countires can learn lessons from these children.

Praying for children every where. This is not the way to express resentment for anything.

@Saeed I totally agree with you

@Irfan Baloch Arabs are not your brothers. They became your brothers after your fore fathers converted . We are your brothers from thousands of years. Mahabarat, Ramayan happened in your land Lahore ( Rama's sons capital city ) Kandhaar ( Kaurava's capital city) , we share the same DNA. Arabs does not belong to us. You converted to Islam, we have not thats the only difference.

we are with you Pakistan, we will fight together against terrorism.

To India- Thank you for your kindness in such dark times. From, - A Pakistani

Thanks India for good will gesture. but only gestures will not work India has to stop funding Anti Pakistan forces through its consulates located at Pak Afghan Border.

We love your children as much as ours. Lets protect them. We stand united to support you.

Thank you India.... Humanity comes first always..

Only if people at the help of affairs in both the countries could show sympathy and common grief like these pictures then half of the war is own without bullet being fired.

@Pakistani How can you blame India...In the whole comment list you are the only one who said India is funding..Shame on you man.... Please dont utter these type of nonsense atleast at this time of sorrow... This type of comments are nurtured by politicians just to hide their inability in controlling these type of evil activities conducted by poisonous snakes in your backyard... We love peace and would like stay in harmony with our Paki bro and sis.. We love you and our hearts weeping for those little angels who are now with God almighty.

Children are the joy of their parents and future leaders of our Planet. May God bless and protect these innocent lives.
