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

Under Operation Sindoor that is now in its third day, India will keep the escalation dominance and maintain that de-escalation rests on Pakistan. India will ensure that the cost imposed on Pakistan will be greater than whatever cost Pakistan would try to impose on India.

India's military strikes on terror factories in Pakistan have garnered global support as governments and leaders across the world have backed New Delhi's right to defend its citizens and do whatever is possible to wipe out terror from the region.
