The public sentiment surrounding Operation Sindoor is multifaceted, characterized by a mix of national pride in the Indian Air Force's capabilities and skepticism about the operation's effectiveness and the government's transparency. While many express strong support for the armed forces and advocate for decisive actions against perceived threats, there are notable criticisms regarding the handling of military operations, calls for accountability, and concerns about escalating conflict and civilian casualties.

I feel like the question shouldn’t be if this is a victory or not, but how big of a victory is this? I know it sounds a bit boastful and whatnot, but I see a lot of people here only focusing on the first day of the conflict. 
The fact of the matter is that on the last day, on the 10th, the IAF had a free hand in picking and choosing any targets in pakistan, and did so with precision.
If it would have truly been a “victory” as they claim it to be, we wont have been able to strike so well and deep inside enemy territory, their Air force and Air defences were curiously silent. 
Like any great operations of the past, be it Desert storm or Focus, Victory often does come at a price.
But oh boy was this one worth it :)

D Gukesh lost rooks, pawns and bishops but won the chess match.

RCB lost 9 wickets but won the cricket match.

The allies lost 16 million troops (twice as much as the axis) but won WWII. 

It’s not about the assets, it’s about the objective.

While I agree with most of your points I don't agree with the scenarios and your approach.

1. Indian jets were not allowed to engage Pakistani fighters? This is a highly wild speculation, when enemy jets fire it is declared hostile and it can be engaged. The thing is Indian mission was a balakot style hit and return mission, Indian rafales launched their missiles while other jets provided cover. Since rafales were carrying air to ground payload they were not carrying air to air missiles. Atleast not meteors for whatever reasons. India has Astra 1 in operational only (max range 100km, significantly low no escape zone like aim120 c5 which pakistani f16 use)  and Astra 2 is still under development /testing. Pl15 missile is a capable missile, most likely Pakistans qrf team was scrambled instantly as soon as they saw a squadron of jets approaching their borders. Indian jets were supposed to hit ground targets so despite they could see pakistani jets in air they didn't engage them as their primary target was terrorist installation and if Pakistan air force engaged then they would engage with them while Pakistan af objective was to engage IAF as soon as they approach danger zone. While rafales where firing air to ground targets they could already have been in PL15 no escape zone. Indian jets must have retaliated and got few jets of theirs with their Astra and even s400 engaged their awacs.

Losses are on both sides but Indian side loss could have been because they waited for Pakistan to engage first on air to air.

Pakistani f16 are not very good, they are block 52 models and use aim120 c5 missiles. Our Astra is marginally better.

2. It's difficult to target mobile air defenses from cruise missiles if you don't know the locations. That's why drones were used.

3. India never wanted escalation and all its strikes have been reactionary. They didn't want to perform sead missions before performing the strikes simply because they were not invading the country. IAF fired their payload from within our borders. They might not have anticipated that Pakistan would engage in air before even they cross the border. The tensions were high since few days before the attack and that's why Pakistan was in high alert mode and played very precautionary.

4. India attack on their air base was after Pakistan tried to fire ballistic missiles in Indian territory. The message was clear we can cause much more damage than we are doing now but we can hit anywhere in Pakistan with precision.

5. Post first day IAF didn't use jets for attack.
Tejas was on patrol duty and didn't have to engage jf 17. Jf 17 might not even know Tejas was there as its orientation could have been different. So it must have just retreated.

If India wasn't winning , leftist islamists in India would not have come up with "de-escelate" nonsense. Look for the same situation in Gaza. We know Israel was winning when Islamists came up with "ceasefire now" campaign.

drehonest

I think we are slowly moving towards an air centric approach. There is a high chance that the next CDS will be from the Air force.Plus there is an argument that , India is kind of testing the so-called Nuclear Blackmail,. How much we can engage them in a conventional war under nuclear threat. Kargil was a response to the encroachment, but post Pathankot,  We started targeting terror launchpads in pakistan and Pak occupied Kashmir.
Post op sindoor , it's escalated to ' any terror attack is considered as an act of war ' 

Incentives to pakistan never really worked in the first place,be it water be it trade .

Professional-Ice3646

In terms of material loss, I’d say no, it really wasn’t

While in terms of EXTENT of damage, India inflicted a lot more, but when you look at nature of the damage, even if India did only lose 2 jets (not their bogus claim of 6), that is still far harder to recover than repairing damaged airbases or killing several dozen terrorists that they have thousands of anyway 

Now if the attacks on the airbases manage to damage/destroy some aircraft that were in the hangars, that’s a different matter entirely, which would tip the scales more towards India, but since that damage would be WITHIN the airbase, it’s impossible to get any real/reliable news on that

The main win to come out of the operation and the entire week was the change in doctrine from an Indian perspective, that every terror attack will be treated as an act of war from Pakistan, but that’s getting more into politics that aviation

Truthgamer2

Regarding the first point - I think this is misinformation. It is asinine that such comically rigid ROEs were in place given our Balakot experience. 

The objective wasn't to engage PAF aircaft but I'm certain when things turned hot, the IAF was under no obligation to sit and eat missiles.

I think the likely scenario is that there was a potential miscalculation of PAF BVR and network capabilities, with multiple long range missiles in the air, things turned chaotic...as it naturally would. 

We traded shots and this frankly seemed like a typical BVR engagement. 

I'm wondering why some targets were hit by the IAF at all. Not sure why we didn't use other assets since trading missiles with another professional and competent air force seems very risky.

shobhit7777777

Pakistan uses terrorism against India which is basically their very cheap weapon against India which they can use to disrupt economy of a particular place or to hit Indian military.

India wants to increase this cost for Pakistan, currently the cost for them is the training cost of jihadi who are expandable for them. Now the cost would be like training of terrorists + their repairs of hangers + cost of jets + cost of weapons to counter India. This cost they cannot sustain for long. Indias objective was never to acquire Pakistani land, they could have done it already if they wanted, that's just election winning tactics. Moreover we don't want Pakistani morons living with us even if we acquire their land. How will you handle additional 40 crore people ??

That's why India's message is clear, we will hit you if you try even s single terrorist attack and that will cost you dearly in terms of life, air bases, infra and military equipment and to be honest pakistan alone cannot handle this cost in the long run. So eventually they should stop trying terrorism against India. The real issue is, doesn't matter how broke of a country Pakistan is, it has support from turkey which can supply drones for free and China who can provide them high-tech jets on loans which apparently is not causing very heavy burden on Pakistan. 

Pakistan is like a person who is living a lavish life while sinking on loans but it has banks which are ready to provide them loans to pay another one.

While we are earning well but living a conservative life keeping our earnings and expenses in check.

it is never about victory but about deterence, grey listing threats, condemnation were the previous deterence... now they know India will retaliate without waiting to prove to international community that Pakistan was behind attack

1. India rightly targeted terror camps - No intenational media has disapproved / rejected this claim, some cucks like BBC, AL Jareeza can continue to say 'alleged' terror camp but they have not produced proof that it is not. And Five eyes and other intelligence agency are mum because they know it is terror camp
2. Pakistan Army mindlessly reacted, saying what India did is act of war, India said it is act of self-defense... Per India, we only targetted terrorist launchpads which has connected to the Pahalgam terror attack, thus making 07 May attack defense/retaliatory attack as long as India is concerned. Pakistan is refusing to accept that Pak terrorist are behind the Pahalgam terror attack. "mindlessly" because there was no precision, random shelling and trying to attack civilian positions in India
3. India responded, again in self defense, taking out the launch pads of Pak forces itself... since now they are the once launching missiles and drone not just terrorist in some random place
4. Escalation was severe, Nur base attack seemed to have touched a nerve with USA eventually a ceasefire was agreed upon

Regardless of USA part, India made Pak DGMO call India DGMO and request a ceasefire, Pakistan and their supporting western publications are just playing dirty and propagating lies that India was forced by USA and pappu being pappu is regurgitating China talking points

Sensitive_Camera2368

At the end of a war, nobody really wins. One side just loses less than the other, and they’re called the “winner.” But it’s a sad kind of victory when everyone’s hurting.

In the battle of stories and ideas, we’re not great at beating our enemies. When they bring religion into it, some people get caught up in the idea of a big, united community called the *ummah*, and it gives them a strong edge. We struggle to tell a story that hits as hard.

In short wars, the side that gets hit harder usually gets more sympathy from the world because of politics. The world cares about terrorism, but only when it affects them directly. Our fight feels like it’s just ours—no one else really cares. It’s like how we didn’t pay much attention to the Ukraine-Russia war at first, just saying nice words. The world’s doing the same to us now, and it’s been like this forever.

blogalwarning

The mission categorically was to eliminate terrorist bases which we did on the first night itself. That makes the mission successful, what followed after was unprovoked retaliation as we categorically said we have not engaged any civilian economic or military installations. We gave a befitting reply to that retaliation as well under right to respond.

Losses are always part of operation, even during the Osama operation done by USA they lost a black hawk, nobody questioned that downing, why are we asking this question again and again I'm not able to understand. IAF said they haven't lost any pilot. Even if we did lose planes we can buy equipments again.

We cannot buy lives of the ones we lost, civilian and military both.

That's all that is supposed to be said and that should be the only scope of discussion. Even the armed forces are saying the same. 

Our job is to hit the target not count body bags and bloody hit theirs and more.

kvsh88

Loss of assets are factored in any operation. Remember IAF didnot perform any sead/dead operation prior to bombing terror targets in day 1. So the loss of jets is expected ,no airforce performes such suicidal mission . But did you hear any loss in day 2 because then IAF was given a free hand to perform dead in forward bases and dead in lateral sites

emper-son111

Only 1 Rafale (BS001) &amp; 1 Mirage(KF106) were deregistered from the Service.

It was a success but not the overwhelming success as the gourmint claims, we did lose atleast 1-2 jets but thankfully the pilots are alive (from what we assume) else this would've honestly been a failure

Apart from that 20% thing, yes there was heavy damage. But we shall never get to know the full extent. Their media won't accept it, and we can't go there and verify for obvious reasons.

If you’re looking for independent commentary, read what Tom Cooper (Austrian) has said about the matter. 

He said Pakistan had the edge in Balakot strikes; But he has said operation Sindhoor is a convincing win for Indians.

What this skirmish has shown the world that India can defend itself against inferior Chinese technology. PM Modi was quick to highlight it in his address to the nation. 

The sad part is already bankrupt Pakistan will waste IMF money by getting into an unnecessary arms race instead of spending it on its people living without basic amenities.

Praying for you all in India for a swift victory! Your friend from the US!

But we should be careful. They have time and again proved themselves to be assholes of the highest order. Lessons must be learned from the Ukraine Russia war where Ukraine forced almost entire Russian black sea fleet to leave with the help of some sea drones. Sea warfare is evolving 

To be frank, after this attacks, I was more confident about Indian Air defense system. I never thought it could intersect like iron dome. May be iam little unaware about the recent purchases + home grown system like akash missile system. But I  guess, we are well protected by our Air defense system even from a nuclear threat from Pakisthan. I wish India will buy more s400 and s500 system to make its more secure.

sreekanth850

Too many seem to want to go to war. That's a bad outlook. I have a feeling that there are too many who want to push for more escalation. Indian Navy making such a statement is 100% in accordance with Modi, so they are like Modi's followers now rather than for all indians. That's a recipe for escalation. How else should Pakistan respond to this when Karachi is bombarded? This is not solely about "who is morally right or wrong", this is about what the aim is with this escalation strategy. That's not good.

I cannot express how grateful I am to read your post. As a muslim, I'm sick of seeing Islamophobia everywhere, online and offline. They are terrorists, not hindus, not muslims just sick people who destroy families and will pay for their actions. Islam doesn't teach you to kill innocent people. I love my religion and I always will but that doesn't mean I don't respect other people's religion. Everyone has the right to practice what speaks to their soul. 

I wish more people were like OP. People need to understand that there's good and there's bad in this world. No one is bad because they belong to a certain religion. I as a muslim am disgusted with what happened. Whoever is responsible should be punished. 

Remember, India was meant to be a secular country 🤍

AMillion-dreams

I agree. Also people cheering for war sitting thousands of kilometres away from the border should know what's actually happening in poonch. And no media channel is even reporting that. Go to twitter and you will see horrendous images, one where the skull of a kid is shot open, another where a blood drawn body of a kid is being taken to hospital. So please stop cheering for war. It's so easy to be a war spectator but it's not easy to be at the frontlines and be the families of those at frontlines.

AdKitchen4459

Exactly, and the thing is both hindus and muslims think of each other as dangerous because of this. The more people gonna hate on muslims, the more they're gonna hate them as well; the more they'll feel like an outsider and then you'll ask for their loyalty for the nation by abandoning them in the first place. They'll probably regret being left here rather than Pakistan. I don't think people realise how much we make muslims feel like an invader and outsider and not make them feel like it's their home cuz it is.

What do you expect to happen when all the media houses and even the elected MP MLA peddle propaganda and hate everyday. Mlims have more children (NFHS data says fertility rate is almost same for both religions). Mlims spit in this and that (2-5 videos of more than a crore shops). Mlims want gzwa e hind or whatever (india literally had a liberal govt since independence for 40+ years, it didnt happen then but it can happen now, Oh fck logic).

Similar_Duty1951

Yup.
A Muslim person in my contact list had setup a status on whatsapp about India's win for operation sindoor.

Now, imagine a hindu guy just goes to him and says go back to your country or something. He would start hating the country and hindus even if he had no such intention in the first place.

This.

I have been saying this out loud for a while now. There is a problem within Islam, otherwise it wouldn't have spawned so many terrorist outfits across the globe. And it needs reform

But this cannot be done by holding the baton of hate and the gun of bigotry to their head. Ask the right questions in an empathic manner, that makes see how their own religion oppresses them. Make the matter personal to them and see how the change follows.

The caretake car washer of ours is a Muslim man, who has been kind, polite, and has catered our every whim on demand

My regular veg vendor is a Muslim man with autism,i refuse to believe that that kind and childish soul can hurt anyone

My mother's cardiologist is a Muslim man who has undone a soft blockage in my mother's heart, and guided her towards recovery

The teashop and cigarette vendor uncle is a Muslim man who chats with me regularly and gives away Parle G's to stray dogs on the regular and gives free tea to beggars

This is just sad. A child died out there in pakistan due to the attack and my friend was glad. So much hate towards innocent people

Why should Indians hate Indian Muslims for the actions of Pakistanis? That’s a horrible thing to do, and irrational behavior.

Political propaganda over many years have conflated Pakistan with muslims. For people who think the India Pakistan dispute is due to religion ask them to do a thought experiment.

All other conditions remaining same, If Pakistan and Kashmir were 100% Buddhist, would there still be terrorism in Kashmir?

Ask yourself this question. If you answer Yes, and logically the only rational answer is yes, you would realize that the cause of terrorism is not religion but Pakistan's territorial ambitions in Kashmir and their failing as a functional state. 

However most people will not think so rationally and stereotyping and believing in an US vs THEM mindset makes people feel better about themselves. I am afraid in India now critical thinking is a losing battle and if you try to speak rationally you will just be shouted down by the zealots.

Even if Pakistan’s mostly fundamentalist government and the terrorists forces in Pakistan are biased against Hindus (which they definitely are), how is that any Indian Muslim’s fault? They are also equally affected and shaken by this awful act that has happened against our brothers and sisters.

India will be a successful nation if and only if people are united, irrespective of religion, caste, social status, language, etc. 
If India really stands united, we can catch up with China over the next decade. Until then, it’s going to be a shit show. The British really divided and rules and we still stand divided.

Love you for saying this. People posts stuff like 'Dharm batake marege' and 'Hanuman chalisa padho, kalma nahi' But then We saw Colonel Sofiya Qureshi there. Guys how would she and her family feel that while she is going to risk her life for the nation, people are making Ind and pak war a Hindu vs Muslim war, What us the need of adding 'dharm, Kalma' etc. Many muslims Took part in air strike.
And they are more patriotic that you all ever will be. And no , you cant come and justify this by saying they dont have religion, they are army. 
Well news flash dumbo - Army is humans. Humans have faith and emotions.

A terrorist does not have or belong to any religion. The moment they choose to become a terrorist, religion is just a past tense in their life. What they follow thereafter is only known by their chief.

Due-Village8103

While I appreciate your liberal views on Islam, the reality is that not everyone interprets the faith the same way. The result you have already seen in Pahalgam, Kashmir, last month.

Some draw from certain verses a sense of religious superiority and, at times, hostility toward non-Muslims. One of the enduring issues is the difficulty many Muslims face in separating their theology from the cultural norms of 7th-century Arabia.

This deep-rooted attachment to medieval arab traditions often leads to resistance whenever there's a push for reforms, be it around the ease of divorce, blasphemy laws, or women's rights  It's not always about the core religion itself, but about an unwillingness to let go of outdated social norms wrapped in religious legitimacy.

Judaism and Christianity, over time, have evolved. Most of their followers no longer feel bound by ancient Mosaic laws. But many Muslims still seek to live by the same legal and social codes from over a thousand years ago, often without fully acknowledging how drastically the world has changed. The days of tribal survival and warfare are long gone, then why *this irresistible urge to wage 'jihad'*. There is a reason why Muslims find difficulty in integrating in a different culture. You don't see such problems with other 2 religions, despite sharing the same DNA.

If the Prophet Muhammad were to return today, I imagine he would be deeply disappointed in what many have done in his name, perhaps even outraged enough to beat all of them up with sticks, just like you punish a school boy.

\------------------

Islam, like its sister religions - judaism and christianity, needs a period of reflection and reform. But perhaps this isn’t the time or place to go too deep into that discussion. I agree that we must remain fair and respectful toward Muslims as individuals. The blame doesn't lie with ordinary people but with the systems and interpretations that resist progress.

U guys should also address the extremist/terrorist hindutva that operate the country and incite the mobs.

Easy to point out Pakistan's terrorism problem while ignoring that India's issue starts from the PM all the way down to the people. 

Both countries need to purge their terrorists.

Show them the two ladies who briefed on Operation Sindoor. One of them is Muslim. In the Armed Forces, these things don't matter - they are Indians, but your parents need to be shown such examples.

Tell them that if not for a certain Indian Muslim called APJ Abdul Kalam, we would not have the defence apparatus we have, including our nuclear capabilities. 

There are many more you can list on your own. Nationalist Muslims have contributed way more to India than many Hindus who are keyboard warriors.

Islamic radicals and terrorists need to be condemned.

But hating on every Muslim is a disservice to the nation. 

"Hindu khatre me hai" - Yes but not only from radical Muslims or terrorists..in day to day situation, more often from casteism and linguistic sub nationalism if you just go by data &amp; practicalities.

If you have the courage to provoke them, ask them whether you can marry any Hindu girl, irrespective of caste and language? See what they answer.

Ambedkar was highly critical of Islam's radical elements and he has written about in his book Pakistan or the Partition of India. I would suggest everyone to read it who wants to get an unbiased view of the events that led to partition.

The same Ambedkar had made a sarcastic comment saying Hindus attach to their Hindu identity only when they fear Islamists and otherwise, they perpetuate their divisions &amp; biases among themselves. His words stand true even today.

Let us all be Indians.

Extremist from both side(muslim and hindu) are dangerous to our country.

Dunno bro... Islamophobia is something that's been cultivated among people. I find it similar to people being afraid of dogs... I love dogs... But normally... If one dog bites someone... The dude is scared of all dogs for the rest of their lives. I believe something similar can be observed here. Ofc all of the kind aren't a threat.

Let's hope history's sin won't repeat again. That Swastika won't yet again be used as a symbol as a rallying tool to marginalise and torture the minority.

I don’t mean to rile anyone up, but my parents used to work with the delhi government areas that were muslim dominated. Sharing a few incidents - 
- during a house to house polio drive, muslim families would shun the medical staff away from their homes, saying that this polio medicine is a poison to kill our children. Unless OUR PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF doesn’t say that it’s okay for us to consume polio medication, we won’t allow you to administer it to our children. 

Only after polio medication was made a mandate by Saudi for Hajj, then muslims in india largely started complying with polio medication 

- on multiple occasions, my parents have heard the speeches of priests in mosques (thanks to the loudspeakers /s) and you can’t imagine how vile it gets. Everything is mentioned, with the broad them being domination and spread of islam. Mind you - these are mosques which are attended by poor/lower classes, and THIS is the ideology being peddled to them

In a nutshell, most Muslims are peaceful people, and then there are radical islamists, a small fraction of Muslims globally that resort to terrorism and insurgency, but there is a significant number of Muslims that are a non-active and potential threat. They’re not pro-India. Let’s not mistake them to be neutral. 

Let’s also not forget the number of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Pakistan in our country who are upto God knows what agenda. Sure, some of them may have come here for a better life, but not all of them.

Pakistan is a failed state that can attribute some of its shortcomings to Islam. None of those shortcomings are even remotely applicable to Indian Muslims- their loyalty shouldn't even be questioned. Repeat this message to everyone you know, we're in this together, against Pakistan.

It should always be the oppressor who should be crucified not their religion and caste and whatever, a bad person or group 6 is just bad their religion don't define them. It's simple but we usually forget this.
