Operation Sindoor: Not Just A Name, A Whole Feeling

OPERATION SINDOOR: NOT JUST A NAME, A WHOLE FEELING

When the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack asked women to deliver their sinister message to India, they didn’t expect Shakti to answer back.

 

Two Women. One Message. A billion Goosebumps.

 

Standing tall, composed, and resolute, two Indian women - one from the army and one from the airforce - briefed the nation on operation Sindoor. The image of Col. Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh flanking Vikram Misri at the national press briefing is one we will carry in our hearts forever. It is a portrait of shakti: power, grace, intellect, protection, and dharma in action.

 

India has always been the land of Divine Mother.

We pray to Ma Durga, Ma Lakshmi, Ma Saraswati, Ma Kali — each a form of strength, prosperity, wisdom, and righteous fury. Our guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, lovingly taught us to seek God as Divine Mother — the one who always listens, the one who protects, and who guides her children with infinite compassion and unwavering strength.

 

This is why Operation Sindoor isn’t just a military operation —

It is a spiritual reply from the heart of a civilization where the vermilion on a woman’s forehead is more than ornament.

It is a vow of love, strength, and protection — a symbol of her power to create, to nurture, and to rise fiercely when anything threatens what she loves.

 

Today, these women in uniform became the face of who we truly are. They are the face of the India we know.

The India we love.

Not the stereotype. Not the sidekick. But the center.

 

Where being soft doesn’t mean weak —

It means being deeply rooted, endlessly loyal, and unshakably devoted.

 

Where anything that blesses us — from nature to a goddess — is deeply loved and respected like a mother.

 

And where we are taught to honour the resilience, wisdom, and dignity, we so revere in our mothers - in every woman we meet.

 

We said it before, and we’ll say it louder:

 

Yatra naryastu pujyante, ramante tatra Devataḥ

Where women are honored — God lives there.

 

Today, the world saw our culture.

Today, Shakti went viral.

 

This is a full-blown cultural moment for our generation. A clapback from a civilization that’s had women at the center of power since forever.

 

We are in love.

We are proud.

We are grateful.

 

This is Indian womanhood.

This is the Indian Armed Forces.

This is India.

 

Jai Hind. Jai Ma. Jai Shakti. Jai Bharat.
