Operation Sindoor: the new normal in an old rivalry

Rate this book
Did India establish a ‘new normal’ in its relationship with Pakistan by responding militarily to cross-border terrorist attacks? And will Pakistan, which targeted civilian and military facilities after India’s initial response, be dissuaded from using terrorism as a state policy henceforth?

In answers to these questions lie the true significance of Operation Sindoor launched by India after the Pahalgam terror attack on tourists.

India might have meted out punishment to Pakistan after Pahalgam by hitting terrorist infrastructure and taking out some high-value targets. But this one operation is unlikely to change Pakistan military’s mindset, which sees India as a rival and Kashmir as an unresolved dispute.

This e-book, Operation the new normal in an old rivalry, features articles by retired military leaders, former diplomats, and subject experts seeking to understand the changed geopolitical realities in South Asia after Operation Sindoor. It details the role of air power in hitting targets without military personnel crossing the borders, the protection provided by the Army, and the maritime perspective of the Navy; it elaborates on the diplomatic efforts involved in such an operation and the dangers of internationalising bilateral issues.
To provide a comprehensive account of all aspects of Operation Sindoor, this e-book also includes premium articles from the print and online editions of The Hindu.
