Operation Sindoor- Redefining India’s Policy against Terrorism

On the April 22nd of 2025, an incident took place that terrorized the nation. It was something unlike what we had experienced previously. It was a direct challenge on the sovereignty of the Hindus living in India. The Pahalgam incident costed 26 priceless lives, but it has much wider implications. After the abrogation of the much-debated Article 370 which granted Kashmir special powers, a slow rise could be seen in tourism in Kashmir. More and more people started exploring the hidden gems of this crown of our nation. But, this lasted only till that faithful day. Since then, several tourist destinations have been deemed unsafe by the Government; around 80% of the bookings have been cancelled and the tourism sector is looking bleak. Thus came into existence Operation Sindoor, the catalyst and response for the attack. Mass violence followed as missiles were flown onto several terrorist camps previously thought to be inaccessible. This procedure was solely based on miscreants and not on Pakistani civilians. Drone strikes and border fights continued for a brief while. India abrogated the Indus Water Treaty which led to widespread backlashes as the river Indus was their sole source of Water. When water was suddenly left without warning, several towns flooded, which led to mass chaos. The conflict marked its end on the 10th of May, when a ceasefire was agreed between the 2 nations. The operation marked a significant change in India’s approach to cross-border tourism. Instead of showing restraint, India’s bold approach to attack the camps received praises from all over the world. India’s indigenous weapons such as the Akash Missile System and suicide drones, with support from the Russian S-400 Defence System, were able to jam the Chinese missile systems and complete the mission in just 23 minutes. Pakistan was directly indicted of funding the terrorist camps, and a slip of tongue during one of their parliamentary sessions from their own finance minister exposed them to the world. Sympathy evoked from all over to the lost lives, and the attack was seen to be one on Hindus, the circumstances of which angered everyone. The youth played a very key role during the battle. More than 2,000 Agniveers were positioned on the borders during the conflict. It gave testament to the fact that the Indian youth were ready for severe combats and would work for our country’s welfare. To invoke patriotism in young kids was something that was motivated widely. NCERT introduced Operation Sindoor modules in schools, which spanned topics of national security, coordination and strategies.India is one of the most diverse nations in the world, with people speaking many languages and following different cultures and traditions. But, everyone is united for the cause of our nation. It is this Unity in Diversity which has helped India’s cause. Irrespective of one’s religion, caste or gender, everyone sported similar feelings on the incident. Operation Sindoor was not just one isolated action, it was a collective assertion of nationalism where our strategies amplified our response. Our Army, supported by the high-flying Air Force and the calm Indian Navy formed an invincible trio. They operated in perfect sync with the detective agencies, coordinating each step of theirs working on neutralising the opposite party.In essence, Operation Sindoor was the action that redefined the Indian mind set in the global world. It showed the world that we won’t hesitate before giving people what they deserve and that we will never part from the territories that are rightly ours. Ladakh is a very integral part of India and we will not tolerate any external intrusion. It is not just a quarrel about some lines in the Indian map, it is a question of our authority and we shall have what is rightfully ours.~Rachan R RaiGrade X
