Operation Sindoor and the Battle for Nationalism: BJP, Congress, and the Politics of Patriotism

  • On May 7, 2025, India conducted targeted air strikes against militant infrastructure located across Pakistan and the region administered by Pakistan in Kashmir, as a retaliatory measure following the April 22 attack in Pahalgam.
  • The operation followed the terror attack that killed 26 civilians and leveraged coordinated intelligence from a multi-agency centre established after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
  • Operation Sindoor lasted 23 minutes, targeted nine terror camps, avoided border crossing, and used advanced indigenous defence systems such as the Akash missile and Bhargavastra counter-drone technology.
  • Home Minister Amit Shah described Operation Sindoor as a powerful demonstration of Prime Minister Modi’s strong political determination, accurate intelligence efforts, and the exceptional strike capabilities of India’s armed forces, with Sindoor symbolizing these combined strengths.
  • Following Operation Sindoor, the government plans a ₹50,000 crore boost to the defence budget to enhance R&D, procurement, and self-reliance, underscoring a strategic shift towards military modernisation.
