Divya Delhi: While it will be debated whether India should have escalated Operation Sindoor into full-scale hostilities or even war, it is important to understand why the current "understanding" is an undeclared Indian victory, not a peace deal imposed by external pressure. India says Pakistan's nuclear blackmail won't stop it from taking serious action against the military's "impregnable wall" on Pakistani soil. India blasted deep into Rawalpindi, Pakistan's military hub. The Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has been reduced to a foaming "Mullah." This symbolic loss affects the army's perceived supremacy in Pakistan. Pakistani civil society has seen the military's claim to be the "ultimate defender of the Pakistani state" humiliated in recent days. For the first time, the Pakistani military may be sent to the barracks. Pakistan knows that using terrorism will lead to a full-scale war declaration from India. Prime Minister Modi is ready to escalate without notice in response to any credible Pakistan-sponsored terrorist strike. The Pakistan military's formulaic denials, phony protestations of innocence, and murky operational uncertainty are no longer acceptable reasons or defenses. This signals a major change and will concern Pakistani military planners. They must stop low-cost, low-intensity "jihad by chicanery" against India or risk leading the region and humanity to disaster. This philosophy matches Israel, the US, and Russia's strategic principles. This is not the start of a "era of war," but Modi has stated that India will fight a "just war" to defend its territorial integrity.
