My take on Op Sindoor
I distinctly recall the night four months ago: I woke up for a drink of water in the wee hours of the 7th of May 2025. My aunt, who was awake, said, ‘We’ve hit them.’ As the statement landed on my groggy brain, I grunted. A moment later, clearing Aunt’s confusion, I made my appreciation more apparent.
Surgical Strike 2.0
I am an ordinary citizen. And as an ordinary citizen of a country that hates terror attacks, and personally holding the same stand as my country, I was upset and immensely angry on the 14th of February 2019, when forty CRPF jawans got killed in a terror attack. The terror outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the strike. I was upset that India’s September 2016 strike on terror camps in Pakistan hadn’t borne fruit—that the terrorists hadn’t received the message the right way. The first thought that crossed my mind was the wish that our intelligence find Masood Azhar and our defence castrate him in public, after which, any citizen who liked to kick him in the gut, was allowed to.
