GLOBAL DIPLOMATIC BLITZ

INDIA’S MESSAGE

IS HEARD

After the Pahalgam attack, India has launched a bold diplomatic offensive alongside military action.
Led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Operation Sindoor is reshaping global narratives

on terrorism — with Pakistan on the back foot

BY SHOBHAN SAXENA

n the aftermath of the April 22
terror attack in Pahalgam, which
Iclaimed 26 innocent lives, India
launched not just a military count-
er-offensive with Operation Sindoor,
but also an unprecedented global
diplomatic campaign. Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi has made it un-
equivocally clear: the days of strategic
restraint are over. Pakistan, long ac-
cused of sheltering terror groups, now
faces not just military precision but
diplomatic isolation. While Indian
delegations spread across the world,
amplifying the message of zero toler-
ance toward terrorism, Pakistan finds
itself increasingly cornered — losing
the battle of global perception.
