According to a report based on an Indian news source, a secret high-level meeting was held in India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, before attacks were carried out on Pakistan. In that meeting, different areas in Pakistan were chosen as targets, and Modi himself reportedly suggested calling the mission “Operation Sindoor.”

To make the attacks look less like terrorism, the Indian government and military included female officers—like wing commanders and colonels—on the aircraft used in the operation.

India claimed the attacks were a response to an earlier incident on April 22, when some tourists were killed in Pahalgam, a region in Indian-occupied Kashmir. India blamed Pakistan for that incident without showing any proof, and Pakistan strongly denied any involvement.

Fifteen days after the Pahalgam incident, the Indian military launched strikes on Pakistani areas, mainly hitting civilian populations, under the name “Operation Sindoor.”

The name “Sindoor” has symbolic meaning in Hindu culture. It’s a red powder worn by married Hindu women on their foreheads, and they stop wearing it if their husbands die.

Indian media claimed that since the victims in the Pahalgam incident were Hindu men, whose wives became widows, India carried out these attacks on Pakistan as a way of taking revenge—and used the name “Operation Sindoor” to reflect that.

In Pakistan, the trend “Operation Sindoor turned into Tandoor” became the top topic on X (formerly Twitter), where many users mocked the Indian attack and called it a desperate move by India.
