From Battlefield To Red Fort: Operation Sindoor Takes Spotlight On Independence Day
Friday, 15 August 2025 () While the official theme of India’s 79th Independence Day celebrations was ‘Naya Bharat’ (New India), it was Operation Sindoor that dominated the spotlight during the grand ceremony at Delhi’s Red Fort. Conducted in May this year, Operation Sindoor was a decisive military offensive carried out by the Indian defence forces in response to the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, including 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali. The operation, which unfolded between 7 and 10 May, served as the emotional and symbolic core of this year’s national celebrations.
