It was on April 22, 2025 that India changed forever. Operation Sindoor: India's New Normal is a compelling narrative of a massacre that had Pakistan written all over it and the hammer blow that India dealt in retribution. The book elucidates the events, strategies, and implications of Operation Sindoor-a decision by the Modi government that redefined India's strategic and military signature and transformed the nation's geopolitical perception.
Operation Sindoor transcended mere military success; it epitomized an angry yet resilient India. An India that would not bow down to nuclear blackmail, nor would it kneel to the malicious machinations of Pakistan and its handlers. These New Normal, wherein conventional concepts of strategic restraint were supplanted by proactive engagement, vigorous deterrence, and an unabashed pursuit of national interests, is perhaps Narendra Modi's greatest achievement as India's Prime Minister and a global leader.
This book is a searing yet profound recollection of the shock and pain of Pahalgam, the resulting military operation against terror bases deep inside Pakistan, its impact on the larger policy framework, public perception, national identity, and the developing concepts of sovereignty and security in the 21" century. It is an account of how Operation Sindoor became a pivotal moment in India's contemporary history, signalling its rise as a bold, forceful, and strategically autonomous nation. Operation Sindoor redefined India's destiny-this book tells you how.
In the annals of modern conflict, some operations transcend the immediacy of their circumstances to become defining moments in the collective consciousness of a nation. Operation Sindoor is one such chapter-distinguished not just by tactical accuracy and bravery in the face of danger, but also by the tenacity of a country committed to defending its citizens and maintaining its sovereignty. Bharat, a nation that has historically shown remarkable restraint in the face of repeated aggression, reached a pivotal inflection point-one that would redefine its strategic posture and reshape its internal and external doctrines. That turning point was Operation Sindoor. In the ever-shifting landscape of South Asia, where history is both a burden and a battlefield, moments of clarity are rare. Operation Sindoor was one such moment-raw, transformative, and unforgettable.
This was not merely a military operation; it was a moment of reckoning in India's national memory - a testimony to our resilience and a defining point in the recalibration of our national security doctrine. The genesis of Operation Sindoor lay in tragedy-a brutal, calculated act of terror that pierced the nation's conscience. The public outrage was immediate and unrelenting. But this time, the response was different. What followed was a swift, coordinated, and uncompromising operation that redefined India's rules of engagement. It was not merely a reaction-it was a declaration: that deterrence would no longer be rhetorical, and justice would no longer be deferred.
The term "Sindoor" -a potent cultural emblem of identity, sacrifice, duty, and protection-was chosen by Prime Minister Modi himself. The name epitomised the intention and emotion behind the operation; it was carefully chosen to convey both grief and grit. It honoured the memory of lives lost to terror, while affirming the unwavering commitment of the nation to defend its sovereignty-no longer through statements alone, but through calibrated strength. Operation Sindoor was, however, not a mere show of strength; it was a reaffirmation of India's civilizational ethos: we will not be the first to provoke, but neither will we be the last to retaliate.
In an era defined by hybrid warfare, asymmetric threats, and shifting global alliances, the nature of national security has undergone a dramatic transformation. Conventional responses no longer suffice in the face of unconventional provocations. Operation Sindoor, unprecedented in scope and precision, triggered a long-overdue recalibration of doctrine and the genesis of what came to be defined as the "New Normal" - a complete shift in India's security thinking.
