The Story in Brief
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has said India's generosity should not be mistaken for weakness, and the country can 'hit hard, irrespective of the consequences'. In his first interview since Operation Sindoor, part of Discovery’s upcoming docuseries 'Declassified: Operation Sindoor', Doval said the 88-hour military operation aimed to destroy enemy camps responsible for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
Launched early on May 7, 2026, Operation Sindoor involved precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Pakistan retaliated with drones and missiles. The conflict ended on May 10 after New Delhi and Islamabad reached an understanding. The two-part docuseries premieres Saturday at 9 pm on Discovery and discovery+.
The Indian Opinion
The NSA's warning that tolerance is not weakness is aimed squarely at those who read India's restraint as fear. But some commentary has already swung to triumphalism, painting the 88-hour clash as a one-sided victory. The facts are more complicated: Pakistan also launched offensives, and the end came by mutual understanding, not capitulation. The docuseries must answer: what strategic concessions, if any, were exchanged for that ceasefire?
