BS EDIT: Operation Sindoor: India’s New Normal on Terror

By Business StandardPublished On May 14, 2025

Precision Strikes Are Now Policy

India will respond forcefully to any terror attack, targeting not just terrorists but their bases, wherever they lie

No Fear of Nuclear Threats

India rejects Pakistan’s nuclear blackmail and won’t let it block decisive counter-terror action

State and Terror Are One

By honouring killed terrorists, Pakistan’s army revealed its complicity. India will treat state and terror networks as one

Military Gains on the Ground

Indian strikes killed 100 terrorists and damaged Pakistan’s air defences, showcasing deep-strike capability

A Tactical Pause, Not a Truce

India paused after Pakistan sought de-escalation. But future action depends on Pakistan’s behaviour, not words

Modi’s Message Is Clear

“Terror and talks can’t go together. Nor can water and blood”

The burden of peace now lies entirely with Pakistan
