Operation Sindoor: India's Defence Doctrine Anew

When TRF terrorists killed 26 men in Pahalgam in April 2025, India's response went far beyond a military strike. Operation Sindoor marked a fundamental reset of India's national security posture. In this episode, we analyse the nine dimensions of that shift — from the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and proactive global diplomacy, to precision strikes, the busting of Pakistan's nuclear bluff, integrated joint operations, Civil-Military Fusion, defence indigenization and the battle for the cognitive domain. We also examine the China angle — and why the lessons of Operation Sindoor matter well beyond Pakistan. Tune-in to the first episode of our Operation Sindoor Series.
