Commentary: Operation Sindoor - Early Lessons

Abstract

Never since the end of World War II in 1945 has the world been turned asunder as much by regional and global disruptions as currently taking place. India, despite shorn of territorial ambitions and working for peace and harmony in its neighbourhood, too has not been spared of kinetic conflicts effecting its security and wellbeing. That after the grossly inhuman gunning down of 26 innocent and unarmed tourists in the picturesque meadows of Pahalgam in J&K by Pakistani terrorists on 22 April 2025 , India was left with no other option but  to  teach the Pakistani terrorist fraternity a lesson they would imbibe and desist from their decades long policy of fostering terrorism as an extension of their statecraft  towards India. Thus, Operation Sindoor was conceived and executed with precision, effectiveness and yet a sense of balance and maturity.
