Tension has risen between India and Pakistan, following the Pahalgam Attack, which took place on April 22, 2025. 26 Hindu men were shot dead by the Pakistani t*****ists. Following this, India has launched ‘Operation Sindoor’. The way the Indian Armed Forces have been protecting us by sacrificing everything deserves a nationwide bow. For the unversed, the leaves of the Indian Army personnel were cancelled due to the tense situation, and everyone was asked to return to their duty. Amid this, a Jalgaon-based soldier, Manoj Dnyaneshwar Patil’s story, left the hearts filled with pride and respect.

Why the operation’s name was chosen to be ‘Sindoor’? Here’s what reports claim
On April 22, 2025, 26 innocent men lost their lives due to the attack on Pahalgam. Reportedly, these men were asked about their religion first, and when they said they were Hindus, they were singled out. Such an intensely inhuman act left the nation bursting out in anger and tears. Several women lost their husbands due to this attack.
It was on May 7, 2025, when India retaliated through ‘Operation Sindoor’. Undoubtedly, it is a unique and meaningful name for this mission, which was given to it reportedly to symbolise the loss of innocent wives during the Pahalgam attack. Sindoor is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Sindura’. It refers to the red and orange powder that married women wear on their hairline. This is not the first time that India has selected such a unique name for an operation, time and again, the country has chosen meaningful names to give to the major operations.
