Note: This chain of thoughts was first shared on Twitter/X on the evening of 11 May 2025. Posting it here for archival purposes.
At the outset, I will say what we have done to Pakistan is simply unimaginable. To that I will also add, Picture Abhi Baaki Hai!
Let me try and explain how ..
Very aptly named Operation Sindoor, it avenged #PahalgamTerrorAttack with brute force. However, let me go back in time and start from the situation post-Kargil 1999 :
IC 814 Hijack. We released three terrorists.
2001 : Parliament Attack. We mobilized, but didn’t attack.
2002 : Kaluchak Attack. They killed 2-month old babies at point blank range. We didn’t retaliate. Op Parakram continued.
2005 : Delhi Bombings. 60+ dead. No retaliation.
2006 : Mumbai Train Bombings. 200+ dead. No retaliation.
2008: 26/11 Mumbai Attacks. Only dossiers sent to Pakistan in retaliation.
After 26/11, however, Pakistan stopped mass-casualty terror attacks outside of Kashmir. No major terror attacks happened outside Kashmir thereafter.
2014: Pak Rangers killed 5 civilians in Arnia. BSF blasted the hell out of them in retaliation, shooting 10,000+ mortar rounds in 5 days. (Check This Report : India fighting small-scale war with Pakistan: DG Rangers Punjab)
2016: Uri Attack. Surgical Strikes carried out.
2019 : Pulwama. Retaliation came in form of Balakot and the shooting down of a PAF F-16 the next day.
Thereafter there were practically no terror attacks for the next six years .. till Pahalgam. I shall come to that in a moment, but first let me say something about info warfare.
Post Balakot, a large chunk of people on own side of the border were (as they are now) upset that we had lost the war of narratives. However, despite ‘winning’ the war of narratives, Pakistan STILL couldn’t prevent India from abrogating Article 370 less than six months later! Instead, all that they could do was whine and cry on social media / MSM, while at the same time desperately trying to keep their public sentiment under control! This 👇 was what I tweeted thereafter. Must have a look!
Coming over to Pahalgam, what happened there is known to all. That there will be a retaliation was a given, thanks to the past record of this GOI as well as the extremely strong statements by the PM, HM and Raksha Mantri.
While the Pakis would have been expecting the ‘usual’ retaliation in the form of anti-terror strikes like before, the GOI fired the first salvo less than 12 hours after the #PahalgamTerrorAttack by putting the Indus Water Treaty in Abeyance. This was the chain of thoughts shared by me on that event:
If Paakis thought that this came out of syllabus, then they were in for yet another rude shock when Op Sindoor actually commenced!
They said putting IWT on hold was an act of war. I wonder what they thought on the night Indian bombs/missiles came calling, heralding Op Sindoor!
Yes, India once again hit non-military and non-civilian targets in Pakistan, thereby giving an off-ramp to the Brown Panted Ones which we knew they would NEVER take! But this time they hit not just one, but tens of targets, including right in the middle of major Paaki cities! This shall remain my all time favourite video of Operation Sindoor! We hit them .. and how! Right through the domes of their terror factories while they slept in blissful sleep, never to wake up again!
This voiceless video explains Op Sindoor in all its brutal glory!
Of course, the Brown Panted Ones retaliated. They just couldn’t have NOT retaliated. They had no choice it this.
India knew it as well and was prepared.
Resultantly, Indian AD foiled each and every projectile that the Bhikharistanis threw our way, including Ballistic Missiles.
Btw, contrast the high spirits on the Indian side in the video in the tweet above, with the sheer panic on the Bhikharistani side. The so-called ‘Ghazis’ were quick to turn around and run away!
But jokes apart, there was one more serious impact of such strikes.
This widespread series of attacks by India, targetting Paaki military targets in the middle of their major cities hit home in yet another way. Every Paaki citizen, whether he acknowledges it or not, now knows that his own home can be easily hit.
The war had hit home. Literally.
What reinforced the fact was that India sent a deliberate ‘near-miss’ in Rawalpindi, exploding in the Race Course near the GHQ and possibly Asim Munir’s residence itself. Then there was the targetting of Pak AD systems in one of the DHA Complexes as well.
I am sure that with Indian drones, bombs and missiles landing practically everywhere, sirf bomb hee nahi fatte honge .. aur bhi bahut kuchh fata hoga Pakistaniyo ka!
Also, this time there was no one asking for ‘proof’ .. because proof, in all its brutal glory, was provided by Bhikharistanis themselves, thanks to their cheap Chinese smartphones! Including from the strategic Nur Khan & Bholari Airbases! Don’t miss the ‘O SHIT’ in the 3rd video!
I think Miss Urmila Ji from Mumbai and her Radar-sensitive dog too would be V.E.R.Y happy at this turn of events!
Yes, the Brown Panted Ones tried their best to retaliate. They put their BESTEST minds together and put out a DEVASTATING reply to Indian Attacks .. Yes, they released a brand new song!
Unfortunately, India STILL doesn’t have a suitable reply to this blow!
Unfortunately, however, their Chinese Air Defence Systems couldn’t protect even themselves, let alone their airbases and terror infrastructure!
Oh, the memes that came out!
Damn those Indians sitting comfortably in their homes, NOT worried about bombs landing up their asses, and creating all those memes, I tells you! This one below, though, is my personal favourite! Perfectly exemplifies what IAF and Indian Army did to Pakistanis DESPITE their Chinese equipment!
Of course, the Brown Panted Ones tried. They tried really hard indeed.
And they FAILED .. thanks to their Chinese equipment!
So much so that they even gifted atleast one nearly perfectly intact Chinese AAM to India!
They claimed to have shot down a Rafale or two. They even broadcast the supposed radio intercepts of Shri Godzilla Ji who was flying the India Rafale searching for his comrade. But they couldn’t find even one video of the dead body of Shri Rafale Ji lying dead on Indian side!
When asked proof for claims of shooting 5 IAF planes, their idiot Defence Minister offered – Proof is all over Social Media!
Why did he say that you asked?
Well because that is all they had – Conspiracy theories by SM handles, most of which were their own.
But NO wreckage!
And when poked again (no pun intended) by yet another news anchor asking difficult question, Shri Defence Minister of Bhikharistan suddenly became deaf!
Yes, and these idiots claim they WON the war! Well, their own yahoos may buy this crap from them, but not me!
Point to note is that all their senior ministers were giving interviews to all foreign channels, alternating between bombastic statements and whining. OTOH, on the Indian side it was just the Foreign Secy and the two officers addressing the media at set times. This speaks volumes indeed.
Each time India would administer a slap, the statement would be ‘If you come back again, we will slap you again’. Of course, just like a scorpion cannot NOT sting, the Brown Panted Ones would try & fail over & over again.
How could India turn down this invite to slap them again, hainji?!
The pinnacle of Indian retaliation was reached soon enough when within a span of minutes, India addressed 11 Airbases of the PAF and inflicted massive damages, including to critical high value assets of the PAF. That a few of these were near known nuke sites was just ‘incidental’!

So this is how Operation Sindoor went on from the night of 7-8 May to night of 10 May when Pakistan successfully pled its case for a ceasefire. It took just three days from 8-10 May for the famed Brown Panted Ones to live up to their reputation!
Btw, this video is called SWAHA!
Before moving ahead, let me share this 👇 ‘candid’ conversation of the Paaki Defence Minister as well!
Let me now address the most important fact – the Utter and Complete inability of the Brown Panted Ones to prevent the Indian attacks on their key installations etc.
Visuals uploaded by the Paaki awam themselves are proof enough.
Mind you, all this has happened within a span of LESS THAN 72 HOURS from the very early hours of 8th May till the afternoon of 10th May when the Brown Panted DGMO called up his Indian counterpart begging for ceasefire!
Yes, it took LESS THAN 72 HOURS to bring Pakistan to its knees ..
I know, some folks on Indian Twitter and all the folks on Paaki Twitter will disagree, saying that Shri Shehbaz Sharif has declared victory and that Paakis are dancing in the streets in joy!
To these people, all I will say is .. You couldn’t be more wrong!
But as the saying goes .. You cannot wake up someone who is merely PRETENDING to be asleep! So I shall accept the fact that they don’t believe me and move on with my life in general, and this thread in particular!
They all know the true worth of the Brown Panted Ones. Hence it came as no surprise that much much before the first Indian bomb had even crossed the IB, Paakis had started threatening nuclear armageddon in anticipation!
Their lack of faith in their Brown Panted Ones to defend their sorry little country is truly remarkable!
With benefit of hindsight I must say that they were entirely correct in their assessment, given the immense damage India inflicted on them with impunity and utter contempt!
Less than 48 hours after the first Indian bombardment they announced a meeting of their Nuke Control Authority! What helped was the reports that India had hit a possible nuke storage facility near Sargodha and possibly one or two more! I think that, and the imminent meeting of Paaki Nuke Command Authority is what spooked the rest of the ‘civilized’ world.
Mind you, India was NOT concerned at all, merrily planning on inflicting more pain.
But then came the offer of surrender by the Paaki DGMO when he called up!
So they decided to take the Indian hit on their unmentionables and sue for peace, perhaps because they no longer had any unmentionables left for the next round!
Guns will fall silent at 5pm, they agreed. India had delivered the last blow this time, just like all previous times!
But then just as folks on this side of the border (including yours truly) were bemoaning the sudden and unexpected ceasefire, came the news of a fresh Paaki attack!
Mind you, we Indians were happy that the Paakis had attacked again!
Not because we wanted to see our own folks get hurt. Because we KNEW that Indian Armed Forces won’t let them get hurt. Instead, what made us so happy was the fact that now Paakis will get some more bums up their bums!
That evening also saw some brand new memes too!
However, very few questioned the likely reason behind the latest wave of attacks despite the desperate ceasefire offer. IMO, it could possibly have been due to an internal power struggle within the Paaki Army.
But very soon, the attacks failed (as usual) & India delivered yet another blow, this time in Peshawar! Once again, it was India that gave the last slap!
On an unrelated note, Peshawar was a target too far in the 1965 War and was only reached on a handful of occasions by the IAF!
Now if I were a Paaki General, I would have shot myself at this humiliation at the hands of my eternal enemy and that too in less than 72 hours.
But then, that would require a little bit of self-respect, no?
So Pakistan did what comes naturally to them – They declared victory!
They showed the world a list of targets in India hit and destroyed. Their yahoos on social media went berserk with joy! They came out on their (bombed) streets delirious in yet another victory! No proof was needed .. because it was all over social media, you see!!
Meanwhile, India went ahead and gave out satellite imagery of Pakistani targets destroyed in the less than 72 hours of engagements!
Thus ended this particular round of India-Pakistan conflict. Yes, it was incomplete. But it was much different than previous ones.
Come to think of it .. it lasted almost as long as the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks! How’s that for Karma, huh Pakistan?
Let me talk a bit now about what we achieved in this round.
Mind you, it still is unfinished business.
It will always remain thus till the time Pakistan and the ideology behind it remains standing. To that extent I endorse the outrage on the ‘premature’ ceasefire as well.
However, I also endorse the fact that the ceasefire is a fact.
The GOI decided to go ahead with it for reasons best known to them. They naturally have access to much much more information than you and I can ever hope to have. So yes, while disappointed, I accept the fact that the wonderful hammering that Pakistan was getting, has ceased FOR THE TIME BEING.
It will happen again.
They WILL give us yet another chance, over & over again.
That is the reason I am not crying out for this round having ended.
So we move on to what we gained ..
We exposed the Brown Panted Ones in front of not just their awam, but the entire world for the shitty soldiers that they are. The only thing they are good for, is gobbling up the meagre resources of their country and plead when India hits them!
A whole generation of Indians have seen war for the first time. And I include the Kargil generation as well because not even Kargil came this close! 1971 would be a better comparison.
Also, Indian Armed Forces, since long involved in sub-conventional ops, got a wonderful opportunity to test themselves in a large-scale conventional contingency! This will go a long way in finetuning the already very fine battle drills of the IA, IN and IAF.
Talking about IN 👇😂
Mind you, this time the Indian Navy didn’t join the fight while the Indian Army too didn’t mobilize even after the hostilities began, whereas the Brown Panted Ones were already mobilized and in their battle positions since much before!
Then there was the fact that the entire Nation came together as one behind the Indian Armed Forces, letting go of their petty differences of opinions. Some jokers still whined for Pakistan, but they can rot in their own private hells for all I care.
OTOH, in Pakistan the Baloch inflicted atleast two dozen casualties on the Brown Panted Ones! The difference could not be starker!
Further, India has changed forever the paradigm of retaliation to terror attacks. The ceasefire was accepted with the caveat that any terror attack would be considered an act of war. This is a HUGE statement of intent, backed by the nearly three days of massive punishment already.
Heck, India didn’t even waste time seeking incontrovertible proof of Pakistani involvement in #PahalgamTerrorAttack, thus bringing to a naught the Pakistani efforts to paint it as an internal issue of India!
This Indian message has hit home .. over and over again, I’d say!
Of course, the Pakistani nuclear bogey that kept Indian responses ‘rational’ thus far has been blown up, figuratively and literally too as per some accounts!
But then, Pakistan does have the World’s Best Air Force .. a fact endorsed not by Pakistani photoshop experts but sakshaat Telegraph Ji!
The next positive outcome for the Motherland is the fact that indigenous weapons performed perfectly under warlike conditions. If this doesn’t give a further boost to enhanced acquisition and export of indigenous weapons systems, then nothing else can!
Another important point is that the cost of keeping Pakistan alive has gone up massively for the West and for China, the latest IMF bakhsheesh notwithstanding.
In fact, this won’t even be enough to cover the losses of the past few days!
Of course with the America backed ceasefire, American interests lobby in Pakistan Army will gain strength at the cost of China interests lobby. Now THAT would be interesting to watch! In any case, most Generals have their spawns settled in the USA in any case, and NONE in China! This naturally makes them more ‘amenable’ to American interests!
Meanwhile, the Indus Water Treaty remains suspended, as does the Simla Agreement.
Yes, do read the above line once again! It gives us much more freedom than before to do what is in our national interests, instead of getting tied down in legalese.
Remember, Pakistani narrative that Pakistan has ‘won’ this round not much different from the post 1965 narrative. Unfortunately, despite the ‘Spectacular Victory’ of 1965, Ayub Khan was unceremoniously removed from power. Let’s see what happens when dust settles this time round.
Also remember that India recently became the fourth largest economy in the world some days back while Pakistan remains .. well .. Pakistan!
Reminded me of these words from SunderKand:
जहाँ सुमति तहँ संपति नाना।
जहाँ कुमति तहँ बिपति निदाना।।
Do read them once again!
In the end, all I will say is that the India Armed Forces deserve all the applause that we can give them. Pakistan WILL give more and more chances to hit them in the future, and knowing this GOI, they will keep getting hit exactly where it hurts – Their Ego.
Before concluding, I will just add this thread dedicated to Pakistan – Turkey friendship that was so at display during Op Sindoor!
With this I conclude this chain of thoughts.
Hope it made some sense to you. If not, well so be it!
All I’ll say in the end is that this is a time to rejoice, not bemoan the ceasefire.
And then there is this epic news report!
Cheers folks, and JAI HIND!
