Operation Sindoor is a series of missile attacks by Indian armed forces on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK in the early hours of 7 May 2025 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM on 7 May, 2025, Indian armed forces struck 9 terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok). This included the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke and Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur. In a statement, the Indian government said its actions were “focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature” and that “no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted”.
Underlining the Pakistan link to the Pahalgam attack, the statement said India is “living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable”.
Pakistan reacted to the precision strikes by sending in drone swarms into Indian border states, and launching missiles on military and civilian infrastructure in India. Indian armed forces responded by striking airbases in Pakistan. On 10 May, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called his Indian counterpart and the two agreed on an understanding to cease all military hostilities starting 5 pm that day.
A victory is not real if others are not convinced about it, and the defeated still stands to mock and challenge the victor.
A real defeat is inevitable next if the victor is solely convinced by such victory, and they then merely scold others for their disbelief.

The above is not hoary observation made by Thucydides. It is common street wisdom that every dweller knows for sure not to disregard.
No matter, such is our enslavement by a Godman’s industrial cult that empty sycophants smugly talk down to us, and tell us what we should be thinking and feeling about the otherwise starkly and unavoidably obvious.
We are a project. There is much transformation they wish us to yet undergo. Our mere obedience so far does not suffice now.
The author’s article is a long hymn on the dazzling, divine qualities of a speech which can’t be imagined by ordinary minds. For conformity, what we are now required to attain is rapturous surrender. It is a rare state of intense, blind enthrallment only which can raise us to high “sadharanikaran—a concept that goes beyond mere transmission of information to establish a shared understanding between the communicator and the audience.”
We are to become gopis who are ever-immersed in pining worship of their absent and indifferent lord.
How did we, an intelligent people who have endured and survived much with dignity, meekly allow this to happen to us? I feel burning shame when I think of the dishonour and disservice we do to ourselves and our ancestors by our negligence towards duty, ethics, and current realities.
