Three weeks have passed since the “pause” of Operation Sindoor. Perhaps, the right time to objectively evaluate its outcome and the surrounding narrative.

In just 72 hours, the protectors of 72 Hoor aspirants were forced to kneel and plead for a ceasefire. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reportedly told the Trump administration that India had crippled their military infrastructure, destroyed air defence systems, and devastated their airbases. Citing their inability to safeguard they started blackmailing that their “nuclear assets” might fall into terrorist hands. They claimed they can’t be held responsible if that happens. This admission inadvertently exposed Pakistan’s weakness and the infiltration of terrorist organizations into its military systems.

With groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Taliban, and TTP posing threats to Western nations, especially US, the Trump dispensation reportedly intervened. When they approached India, New Delhi suggested military contact between their respective DGMOs.

Pakistan’s DGMO immediately pleaded for a ceasefire.

India agreed—but with a firm condition: Any future terrorist attack would be treated as an act of war, and Pakistan would be reduced to rubble.

Prime Minister Modi clarified that this was not a formal agreement—just an understanding and a temporary halt. All suspended treaties remained unchanged and are non-negotiable.

Yet, the media labelled it a “ceasefire”!

Public reactions varied from shock and relief to disappointment. Some questioned the scale of India’s response, wondering why Pakistan wasn’t completely dismantled. But what does “eliminating Pakistan” really mean? Do we seek a World War II-style invasion? Why would India want to control millions of hostile people, many of whom see the divine mission of blowing themselves up as the sole purpose of their existence?

The idea of splitting Pakistan into five parts is appealing but unrealistic. Pakistan is a failed state, but still a nation—not a Lego-Set. Its collapse is inevitable! But that requires time, resources, and many unknown gunmen—possibly 5–6 years more.

Others argued that India should have bombed all their airbases, ports, and military installations. In reality, such an act would have forced Pakistan to deploy nuclear weapons. That is their last resort, and a rogue state like Pakistan, would use it. Yes, India would retaliate and wipe them out of the map. But is the world prepared for this scenario? India will never be the first to use nuclear weapons—because we are Indian. Our principles simply do not allow it.

So, what should be done instead?

A war without purpose is a wasted war. Operation Sindoor had two clear goals:

1. Deliver a message: Every drop of Indian blood will be avenged—100s of terrorists for each Indian life lost, no matter how deep they hide inside Pakistan.
2. Escalation control: If Pakistan retaliates, India will strike even harder.

Was the mission successful? Absolutely.

• India penetrated deep into Pakistan, destroyed nine terror camps, and eliminated 200 jihadist terrorists.
• Pakistan’s air defence system was rendered useless, and their key airbases were crippled.
• Despite their media denials, the truth is undeniable—Pakistan was brought to its knees within three days.
• The Indus Water Treaty is history.
• India now holds the right to respond immediately to every future terrorist attacks.

If this isn’t decisive victory, then what is?

Some claimed India faces Diplomatic Isolation?

Really?

Earlier, whenever Pakistan attacked, the world pressured India to show restraint. This time, India was given three full days of absolute freedom to strike. Even President Trump acknowledged India’s response as “tit-for-tat.”

The idea that India is losing the Western narrative is ridiculous. In just three days, India emerged as one of Asia-Pacific’s most dominant military forces. Would Western media celebrate this? Of course not.

India’s military strength and political decisiveness have reset the global order. Last week, India surpassed Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy.

Expecting Western media to celebrate India’s rise is naïve. The problem isn’t them—it’s our own misplaced expectations.

The less we talk about Indian mainstream media, the better. In their world, India was running Parliament from Lahore! Their circus of ignorance is almost as embarrassing as Pakistan itself.

Yet not the worst.

Even worse was the opposition’s insensitive and immature response, aimed to demoralize India’s forces and strengthen Pakistan’s narrative.

Rahul Gandhi questioned whether Pakistan had prior knowledge of the attack—echoing Pakistani media’s own propaganda to downplay the operation. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar rightly called this “misleading and dangerous.”

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge dismissed Operation Sindoor as a “Chhut-put war” (minor skirmish), insulting India’s military bravery and aligning with enemy propaganda.

It was painful to watch the opposition—and their loyal mouthpieces—desperately trying to downplay this operation. Their behaviour was nothing short of treachery reminiscent of Mir Jafar.

India’s True Battle Lies Within

There is no doubt that Operation Sindoor was a military, strategic, and political triumph. But India is moving fast towards becoming a developed nation—it has no time for perpetual conflict with a country whose only export is terrorism.

Each time Pakistan acts, India will respond decisively.

But now, India’s real war must be fought from within. The internal enemy—omniscient and omnipresent—is what emboldens external foes. India must first cleanse itself from within.
