Modi named ‘Operation Sindoor’ referring to sindoor seen on heads of women as symbol of marriage

SRINAGAR: The name given to India’s response to the terrorists who took the lives of twenty-six innocent people is 'Operation Sindoor'. This name was given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is not just a name, but also a message for India.

Sindoor or vermilion is the symbol of married Hindu women. Sindoor is a red tilak that is applied to the forehead of married Hindu women. It is considered a symbol of prosperity in married life.

In Pahalgam, Karnataka native Manjunath and Navy officer Vinay Narwal were shot by terrorists in front of their wives. When Manjunath's wife Pallavi confronted the terrorist and pleaded to be killed alongside Manjunath, he immediately told them that he would not harm them and instead instructed them to inform Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the attack.

Vinay had come to Kashmir with his wife Himanshi Narwal for their honeymoon. She lost her husband just six days after marriage. The picture of Himanshi sitting next to Vinay Narwal's body is an unforgettable memory. Days later, Himanshi attended Vinay's memorial service, without sindoor on her head....

When it comes to giving a retaliatory blow to the terrorists who have wiped off the sindoor of many women, the entire country is of the opinion that what better name can be given than 'Operation Sindoor'. Moreover, Kashmir is also the place where the largest amount of saffron is cultivated in the country. In that case, this name is appropriate.
