India emerges ‘strong’ after 'Trump Tariff', ‘Operation Sindoor’


After avenging the 3-day India-Pakistan conflict following the Pahalgam massacre, the Modi government launched an unprecedented diplomatic initiative that appears to be a turning point in India’s history. On April 22, the killing of 26 innocent tourists in Jammu and Kashmir was not just an attack on civilians but a direct challenge to India’s sovereignty and resolve. Again, after Trump Terrif, India proved its mettle. The whole country seems to be standing united once again.

Under ‘Operation Sindoor’, India conducted precise military strikes on terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, sending a clear message that India will no longer tolerate cross-border terrorism. However, the real masterstroke by the BJP government was combining military action with a robust diplomatic campaign.

Seven all-party delegations were sent to 33 countries to counter false propaganda against India and present a united front. This initiative included prominent opposition leaders—such as Shashi Tharoor, Asaduddin Owaisi, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, Manish Tewari, and Salman Khurshid—alongside BJP representatives, showcasing India’s unity.

Such a coordinated effort on this scale has never been seen before, not even during Indira Gandhi’s Bangladesh Liberation War when Jayaprakash Narayan was sent to gather support or when Atal Bihari Vajpayee represented India at the UN.

Including diverse political voices demonstrated national consensus against Pakistan’s promotion of terrorism and its attempts to evade accountability through nuclear blackmail.

The success of the campaign was evident. Colombia withdrew its pro-Pakistan statement after discussions with Shashi Tharoor’s team, making India’s zero-tolerance policy against terrorism clear.

These delegations are meeting foreign governments, media, and the Indian diaspora to counter Pakistan’s false propaganda effectively. This is not just an attempt to change the narrative but a mission to expose Pakistan as a factory of terrorism—a country born out of sin and hatred, now trapped in economic ruin and global pressure.

India’s resolve is not limited to the diplomatic level. ‘Operation Sindoor’ continues, and mock drills in border states signal military preparedness. Pressure is being increased on Pakistan through the Indus Water Treaty, further straining its already dire economic situation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have made it clear—terrorists will be eliminated at their bases. This stance has been adopted by leaders across all parties. This unity shows that India is now ready to assert its strength on the global stage.

The BJP’s organisational strength sparked a wave of patriotism across the country through ‘Tiranga Yatras’, involving even hesitant groups. National fervour has silenced sceptics and opposition leaders who always demanded evidence.

Public commentator Prof Paras Nath Chaudhary remarked, "While Western countries have often been lenient in holding Pakistan accountable, New Delhi’s message is clear—India will now respond fearlessly. Delegations sent by India are making it clear to leaders in the US, Gulf countries, and other nations that the fight against terrorism is not just India’s but the world’s battle."

Clearly, the BJP government’s strategy—a mix of military strength, aggressive diplomacy, and national unity—presents a new era and an innovative model. India will no longer remain a victim but is fully prepared to teach Pakistan a lesson and protect its people from terror. At the same time, India must rely on self-strength and self-reliance, as no country will stand by anyone in times of need.
