Changing Subcontinental Mindsets

Abstract

By all accounts our military did a superlative job during Operation Sindoor, so much so, that Pakistan was either cajoled by the United States, or voluntarily approached us directly, to agree to a cessation of hostilities/ceasefire. The possibility that the invitation to Field Marshal Munir for lunch at the White House may well have been a reward for de-escalating the conflict, points to the former. May be the Israeli-American plan to attack Iran had already been set in motion and they could not afford the distraction of a conflict, between two nuclear neighbours in the immediate neighbourhood, at the same time.
