In the aftermath of the terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar, solidarity has been expressed with the people of Pakistan by Indians on the social networking site Twitter.

The hashtag #IndiaWithPakistan is currently trending in which Indians have condemned the attack and expressed condolences with their Pakistani neighbors.

The hashtag was started by Indian columnist Tehseen Poonawalla to show support with the victims of the atrocity.

It should mentioned here that in the aftermath of the siege at a Sydney café, Australians expressed solidarity with the country's Muslim community on Twitter, with the hashtag #illridewithyou.
