"Indian Army Chief Launches 'Operation SINDOOR': A Revealing Account of India's Strategic Strikes in Pakistan"
India’s Chief of Army Staff, General Upendra Dwivedi, has unveiled a new book titled Operation SINDOOR: The Untold Story of India's Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan. The author, retired Lieutenant General KJS ‘Tiny’ Dhillon, presents a detailed account of a significant military operation that occurred in May 2025, which marked a crucial response by India to terrorism backed by Pakistan.
The narrative delves into the strategic planning and execution of the operation, emphasizing the deployment of indigenous weaponry such as the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and the Akashteer air defense system. Satellite imagery from international sources has revealed substantial damage inflicted on Pakistani air bases, challenging earlier narratives that downplayed the impact. Experts suggest that this operation represents a shift in India’s military strategy, moving from reactive defenses to precise, preemptive actions.
During the book launch, General Dwivedi highlighted that the operation’s triumph was in its capacity to neutralize imminent threats while ensuring regional stability. The book also covers India's strategic use of media and social media platforms to conduct psychological operations, reflecting the growing significance of information warfare in contemporary military engagements.
Lt Gen Dhillon, recognized for his leadership of the Srinagar-based 15 Corps following the Pulwama incident in 2019, offers expert insights in this publication. His previous work, Kitne Ghazi Aaye, Kitne Ghazi Gaye, received the popular choice award at the 2024 Crossword Book Awards.
Published by Penguin Random House India, Operation SINDOOR is now available across the country. Military analysts anticipate that the book will spark discussions on Indo-Pak relations, India’s developing defense strategies, and the influence of technology and information warfare in upcoming conflicts.
