Operation Sindoor Meaning: India named the mission Operation Sindoor, after the traditional vermilion (sindoor) applied by married Hindu women on their foreheads. The name references the brutality of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, during which newlywed Hindu couples were reportedly singled out and murdered. The sindoor is also a symbol of pride and identity, worn by warriors and married women alike. By naming the operation ‘Sindoor,’ India sought to convey a message of protecting its citizens and honouring national values.
