Public opinion is largely supportive of India's military actions, driven by nationalistic pride and a perceived necessity to combat terrorism and assert national security through Operation Sindoor. While many commend India's decisive approach, there are concerns about civilian casualties, potential for larger conflict, and the political motivations behind the operation. Calls for accountability and improved security measures are also prevalent.

Soon they will start the sympathy PR (baby died, woman died) keep in mind that these people mercilessly kill innocent civilians everywhere and most recently in Pahalgam

This is ur time to talk about pahalgam again. Make sure its not forgotten no matter how hard they try to bury it and call is the aggressors

Frosty-Fox2540

The indian army shouldnt be limited to just terrorist spots like it is being said, but attack their military bases and go more interior. We have already done such strikes but it didnt had any effect on them nd still doing the same thing

__cancelled__

Ever since 1994 Coimbatore serial blast where 200 died...personally I fed up with its still continuation. Somewhere there should be a boundary...enough is enough.

Edit: I understand the year is wrong it was 1998. it is a mistake in my part. But the causalities is more than the 'official' number. My extended family members were in police and they know the real carnage. I personally just left 5 min before from one of the complex that blown away. It is one of the earliest attacks that used sophisticated explosives. I am not here to bash anybody tbh.

Top_Dragonfly9300

The thing is we as a country need to establish the fact, that we will not tolerate cross border terrorism. And that is what the government has been trying to establish, by operations like the Surgical Strike, Balakot Air Strike, and now Operation Sindoor. And these strikes are important if we want to concretely put forward our stance on terrorism.

_Im_Sherlock

So people are expecting that Pakistan will go sane if we keep quite?
But what is Pakistan?

Is it People who don't support violence against India?
Pakistan Army?
Terrorists operating from their Land?
Islamic Extremists?
Incompetent and corruption Government?

Designer-Winter6564

This is the point. Mourn for the civilians who died as collaterals. But we did need to show that we will not sit quiet.

My main concern now is escalation, and then how to stop Pakistan from harbouring terrorists.

At the same time, it's not right to celebrate or justify collateral deaths. That's sadistic.

lastofdovas

Sure, but Do u think India could've increased security before doing such thing?

Also, where do u live, as I live near borders, and its tensed af here, If u don't live near border or have any real threat, I am not saying this operation was bad, I am saying security could've increased before launching it

Elegant_Noise1116

There's a line I read somewhere that's 100% accurate "it's easier to guilt the side that still believes in morals".
But we are not going to be sorry for this attack. We stand by our troops and our right to defend our land and people.

maverix89

True man. I mean what message are you sending across to the world by continuously doing nothing againsy terrorists that are attacking our people? India needs to show up for itself and make it clear that we are bot going to be messed with. While I do not condone and praise the loss of innocent civilians but doing nothing just makes us an easy target for many more terror attacks to come in the future. Enough is enough.

inilashremot

Kashmiri people are collateral damage , nobody gets to call this operation as justice, if government still fail to find real offenders, the terrorists who have done Pahalgam attack.

Feeling Sorry for People living near Border.

Yesterday Everyone was putting out status about Operation Sindoor but what about civilians who got killed.

Nobody cares about them anymore

Real Offenders are still not caught or killed, this operation will be justice if those are killed.

Also , Our Government can't afford this war.

Pakistan has already lost,their govenment is not stable ,  they don't have anything to lose, but we have so much to lose.

Rare-Progress-4939

It's very easy to celebrate violence. While yes I agree that operation sindoor was necessary, I don't understand if we had the intel why wait for a terrorist attack to happen? Our country's civilians are still dying at the cross border firing. Anyone who promotes war should join the army first.

grayishugh

it was necessary but it was not planned well for the aftermath , too many casualties taking place rn.

purrrr_kitten

There were intel reports on possible breaches in Srinagar, much before Pahalgam could happen. Why aren't people outraged about the same? The women lost their husbands because the GOI failed to protect these men. And now there's this war with "Sindoor" written all over it. By all means, question Pakistan, but also question your own government. The people on the other side of the border are equally fed up.

SunSunny07

Pakistan has launched and run terrorism against India as an industry for 35 years now. These JeM and LeT campuses that were attacked were of multiple acres, housed many students and trainee militants, had swimming pools, shooting ranges, gyms, mosques and all sort of facilities to literally physically and mentally train people to come and kill Indians. The leaders of these orgs are Masood Azhar (someone they hijacked a plane to free from Indian custody) and Hafiz Saeed (organizer of 26/11 attacks) who live as respected industry leaders in the country.

Yes, the war will have implications - but, it is untenable for us to have these industries develop and kill us with impunity whenever they want to.

In last 5 years alone, 1000+ Indians (civilians in Kashmir and defense personnel) have been killed by this industry. They may not have all happened in one day but they have been hitting us everyday. Sometimes you are left with no alternative but to retaliate hard and be ready for the consequences - whatever they are

Monsultant

Yes true... It was needed
They don't think about our civillians deliberately targeted them in pehalgam
What our government did was retaliation. Feeling bad for civillians who lost their lives in pakistan. But these terrorist should get taste of their own medicine. If our government wouldn't have take actions they would have call our country coward and would have been encouraged to attack India more.

CharacterWinter2804

India is 100 percent justified. Jai Hind.

Lexis_Citric

the realest thing i’ve seen on reddit today. india didn’t target a single civilian, while pak govt n army is trying to villainise our country in the eyes of global politicians and countries. ur right, pak has a history of harbouring and training terrorists to send to india + lying about it (and we always find out anyways), hence this attack was a response, not aggression. and india has since announced that they will not be doing anything further, unless pak does, and i think that’s fair. as a human before any religion, i hope that no one on either side is hurt during a feud between something that isn’t even related to them. and would would be the worst possible outcome for both of us, which is why i hope everyone is sane enough to avoid it and deescalate the situation. praying for both indian and pakistani civilians, praying we all have long happy lives and there is peace 

rh34exe

First of all, one needs the basic common sense to understand this was an attack on terror camp not on another nation.

As the Indian army had rightly said, it was measured, responsible and non-escalatory in Nature.

If any one of them thinks it was an attack on a specific country, you are already saying that the country is a Terrorist. 

Also providing shelter to terrorists is equivalent to aiding the terrorism. They aren't innocent.

Randomsameer

Wake me up when the actual justice is carried out by nabbing the 4 militants who carried out the killings.

Till then, all this is entertainment.

I'm 100% sure that some time in the future if any of those four militants are gunned down, we wouldn't be having 100 posts per day on the same topic.

basil_elton

I am so done with these peace merchants. Dozens of innocent Indians were killed and they still care about "innocent" Pakistani lives. If any civilian had died, it's sad but that's the cost Pakistan had to bear to kill Indian citizens. You can't kill our citizens and then say what about ours.

NavdeepGusain

I’ve lost multiple friendships over this issue in the last two days, mostly women as well who think India is a war monger and Pakistan however it is, should not have been attacked by strikes because a single child died. It’s appalling that a child died but we attacked terror installations, the chief of the LeT himself admitted his family members died, what more proof do you want for our intent? 

One of them even said Pakistan will not take it lightly, Shehbaz Sharif will attack, bloody let them, how much more do you want this country and its people to take? The British destroyed our sense of self and after Independence a failed state has been doing and trying to do the same. It’s only our Armed Forces and collective sense of being that has made us resist all such divisiveness and these Papa ki Pari’s sitting in LBZ think it’s wrong and they’re scared? I mean we didn’t start this, things were under control before Pahalgam, people loved going to Kashmir. 

Just because a failed state acts like this, we are under no compunction to take it lightly and turn the other cheek, Gandhi and his ideals are utopian but unfortunately he didn’t leave us a utopian country, practicality mandates aggression especially when it is against our soil and our people. Nobody wants war, India was doing alright, with all our issues we were trying to move forward and solve things slowly, we have been put into a state of war by our failed neighbour who doesn’t have anything to lose, they’ve already lost whatever credibility they had. I say fuck Pakistan and it’s State, we don’t want and neither wish for occupying that country but they attack my own they best believe me and millions more like me are  right behind our soldiers. 

paxindicasuprema

No Indian will ever call Kashmir - the land that was never ours. 

It is this stupid trend of people from other countries creating fake accounts as Indians.

life_of_pluto

The attack was necessary, but people who are demanding for a proper war (met a lot of people like that) are the ones who are in wrong

Sleeper--

Agreed — it was definitely needed.

That said, I can’t help but wonder: if these locations were already known as training grounds for Kasab and others, why did we wait from 2008 until now to act?

Also, how many terrorist leaders have actually been eliminated? I haven’t heard of even one. If they’re still alive, they’ll just keep creating hundreds &amp; thousands more like them.

Operation Sindoor might slow things down temporarily but that’s about it. Meanwhile, Pakistan's army continues to target civilians in Poonch and nearby regions. Sadly, the casualties — whether soldiers or civilians — on the Indian side seem to be only increasing after Pahalgam attack, first due to terrorists and now due to Pakistan army.

I genuinely hope things lead to a positive outcome and that all terror elements are neutralised asap. India shouldn’t wait for the next attack to respond.

Just my perspective — open to hearing what others think.

Actual-Topic6103

"Indians don't want war" oh trust me. A huge population in India wants the entirety of Pakistan to be wiped out and want a whole war. Indian audience has been radicalised badly. 

  
baaki sab i agree

depressoham

India tried peace many times: Be it Atal Ji, be It Modi Ji, or Be it Congress in there many years.  
But if the other person pisses on your hand, when you offer hand shake. And if you ignore them, than they starts pissing on you.... what is the solution!!!!  
  
Because some of us leave in border, I can understand their fear. But what is the solution. Let them come and back and kill our people without fear of any retaliation!!!!  
  
India needs to retaliate. There must be apt replies from India side for each Indian kill be it soldier or be it our civilian. There should be terror of retaliation from India.

As for your family safety for the people at border:  
1. The enemy is Pakistan: they are killing our People.  
2. If you make homes in future do make bunker to avoid direct shellings.  
3. if you have cars start living in them, stay mobile so its harder for enemy to hit you  
4. If you can afford holiday, go for a holiday : Thera re many cheap places in India for time being. Go there and come back after a while.  
5. You can work out as community and create bunker faster than any help can reach you.  
  
They wanted to kill you anyway , even if India did not retaliated!!!  
  
India needs to retaliate. There must be apt replies from India side for each Indian kill be it soldier or be it our civilian. There should be terror of retaliation from India.

It's not like we bombed civillian residencies

nonexistent09

I earlier wrote a post criticising operation Sindoor, I now whole heartedly support it. Enough is enough, we are tired of Pakistan's misadventures. 


Indian govt should take all possible short or long term steps to make sure pakistan balkanises for good in coming decades.


This temporary Nation has existed for too long now, it would be best to finish this nation without a war, through strangulating it with water wars to supporting freedom movements within it.


If USSR with biggest military power and maximum nukes can balkanise , then even this temporary Nation is no exception. This should be our long term focus with respect to Pakistan.

Anna_tiger

Is sub ko yeh hua kya hai? Jahan dekho positive comments?

haa-tim-hen-tie

Atleast they will not do terror attacks for next few months. And they had been killing Indians by the hundreds every year. While it is a painful and difficult decision to take, it should be millitary acting in Frontline absorbing casualties, civilian terror has to stop even at great costs.
I hope there are minimal operational losses to Indian army, I hope this battle stops in next few days with each having their own version of story.

rsburnu

This is a stitch in time that’ll save 900 later…while I’m relatively safe where I am, I feel that the Army is showing controlled aggression and not just firing blindly…but it was long overdue.

Admirable_Ad4607

You are right, If your country gets attacked by anyone, then yes, absolutely yes, fight and attack back. To do nothing but accept it is beyond ridiculous.

JCbfd

India and Pakistan experienced their most expansive military conflict in fifty years, initiated by Operation Sindoor, India's retaliation for a terror attack. The conflict included missile and drone strikes between the two nations.
