Gen. Tiny Dhillon on Operation Sindoor and India’s Firm Message to Pakistan
Gen. Tiny Dhillon explains Operation Sindoor, India's measured response to terrorism, and the enduring courage and ethics of the Indian Armed Forces.
In a powerful conversation with journalist Barkha Dutt, Lt. Gen. KJS "Tiny" Dhillon (Retd), a decorated Indian Army officer and bestselling author, delves into the complexities of Operation Sindoor. He condemns the April 22 Pahalgam massacre as a heinous act of mass murder, asserting India's response was a precise and justified retaliation—not war.
Gen. Dhillon outlines how India's military struck nine terror-linked targets in Pakistan-occupied regions with clear rules: avoid civilian or military Pakistani sites and prevent escalation. He emphasizes that it was Pakistan who chose to escalate, attacking Indian civilians and military zones, prompting further calibrated responses by India.
He praises India's superior defense, the effectiveness of indigenously developed and Russian-origin systems, and the military’s ability to counter drone swarms—exposing Pakistan’s reliance on foreign (especially Chinese and Turkish) weaponry. The General also explains that India’s military responses were guided by strict ethical codes, even as Pakistan flouted international war norms by not closing its civilian airspace.
Gen. Dhillon warns against Pakistan's efforts to divide Indian society on religious lines and target places of worship. However, he celebrates Kashmir’s changing reality, where locals are protesting against terrorism and embracing peace and economic revival.
Conclusion by Barkha Dutt:
India’s strategic doctrine is now marked by clarity, restraint, and strength. The military remains prepared, and Operation Sindoor is still active, with full operational freedom on the ground. Barkha closes by saluting Gen. Dhillon and the armed forces for their role in securing peace in Kashmir.
