From naming 'Operation Sindoor' to deploying women officers to present India's perspective to the world and dedicating the success of the Indian armed forces in destroying terror hubs in Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kept women at the centre of India's retaliation against the hostile neighbour.

Operation Sindoor marks a significant milestone in India-Pakistan relations, showcasing India's military strength and adaptability in modern warfare. During a briefing in Delhi, Lt Gen D S Rana highlighted India's strategic execution against terror threats and the misinformation campaigns that affect regional peace.

The name for the military attack on Pakistan brings to mind a woman who became shorthand for the grief wrought by a terrorist attack.
