In a decisive move against terrorism, India launched Operation Sindoor overnight, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation, named by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, serves as a tribute to the widows of the brutal Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed 26 lives, predominantly male tourists.
What is Sindoor Meaning ? A Symbolic Name
The operation’s name, “Sindoor,” holds deep cultural significance, symbolizing the vermilion mark worn by married Hindu women. It reflects the profound loss of the women whose husbands were killed in the attack. The terrorists, after executing the men at point-blank range, taunted the widows to “go tell Modi.” Today, these women express their gratitude and faith in the government’s response.
A Unified National Response
Operation Sindoor marks a significant tri-service operation involving the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, the first of its kind since the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Conducted with precision strikes at 1:44 am, the operation targeted terrorist infrastructure linked to groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen, ensuring no civilian or military facilities were harmed.
The operation has resonated deeply with the nation, particularly with the families of the Pahalgam victims, who see it as a step toward justice. As India continues to monitor the situation, the resolve to combat terrorism remains unwavering.
