Indian Opinion Analysis

The recent aftermath of ‘Operation Sindoor’ highlights India’s assertive stance against cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan. This operation not only demonstrated India’s precision military strength but also served as a stern message that provocations won’t go unanswered. The destruction of multiple terror hideouts has intensified geopolitical friction along the LoC.

Pakistan’s continued violations-via attempted drone strikes or missile attacks-pose a direct challenge to regional stability but have also bolstered international attention on peace dynamics between these nuclear-equipped neighbors.On the domestic front for India, heightened alert levels along border regions underscore civilian vulnerability during escalated military operations.

History reveals India’s strategic preference for silent retaliation over formal war declarations-a consistent trend even during landmark conflicts like 1971 or Kargil wars. While constitutional procedures exist for emergency declarations under Article 352 through executive coordination with Parliament approval later required-it might remain hypothetical given modern hybridity in warfare tactics that sidesteps outright conventional wars.As potential paths to diplomacy narrow further amidst ongoing hostilities at critical flashpoints like LoC-the coming days may prove pivotal for both nations’ political calculus towards war deterrence or its escalation.
