Background and India’s Response to Terrorism
After a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, PM Modi strongly condemned terrorism in both Hindi and English, signaling a global message.
India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terrorist sites in Pakistan, including UN-proscribed groups like LeT, JeM, and HM.
India clarified the strikes were “measured” and avoided targeting Pakistan’s military to prevent escalation.
As Pakistan escalated with attacks, India responded by hitting 11 Pakistani military bases across the country.
Following India’s precision strikes, Pakistan requested a ceasefire, which India accepted.
The 'New Normal' in India-Pakistan Relations
India’s previous approach to terrorism included suspending dialogue and appealing to the global community for support.
That has changed — India now responds with direct military action and doesn't wait for international approval.
No location in Pakistan is off-limits; India will pursue terrorists to their hideouts regardless of where they are.
India no longer accepts Pakistan’s excuses that terrorists are "non-state actors" beyond government control.
The presence of Pakistani military officials at terrorists' funerals confirms state support for terrorism.
Strategic and Defence Shift
India’s response now includes advanced surveillance, drones, precision strikes, and homegrown military technology.
‘Made in India’ weapons were effectively used in Operation Sindoor.
Future counter-terrorism strategies will focus on accuracy and self-reliance, minimizing collateral damage.
India will no longer present evidence to prove attacks — it will act on credible intelligence without external validation.
Policy and Diplomatic Implications
Trade, water sharing, and dialogue with Pakistan are now directly linked to it giving up terrorism.
India’s new policy is clear: No engagement without Pakistan stopping cross-border terror and returning PoK.
PM Modi’s leadership shows India is ready to act independently and assert its position in a complex global landscape.
The “New India” is confident, decisive, and uncompromising on national security.
