Operation Sindoor is a name changer and the game changer. It carried India’s power to all the nooks and corners of the world, making a perceptual change that India as a nation is far above the others in its military capability and technological prowess. In a nutshell, it is its unity in diversity that makes India strong.
As a nation with a population about to surpass that of China soon, India is armed with everything that is required to be considered as a soon-to-be developed nation. India’s journey has been stupendous, exemplary, and emulative. From a nation that had to pledge gold to rid itself of financial encumbrances to a nation that is self-reliant in almost everything, from defence production, food security, to social justice, India has achieved everything in a short time.
From being dictated to dictating, from importing essentials to exporting key products, from being helped to lending full-fledged aid, India has achieved tremendous successes in the last 10 years, which have been encouraging, stimulating, and have improved its image. Surmounting many peaks concerning development, with a Gross National Product that is indicative of its economic power, with hundreds of corporations that stand as strong pillars of the nation’s financial supremacy, and an impenetrable national security system that protects the sovereignty of the nation from the evil eye of others, India is now a nation that has enormous reach and power as a sound and solid democracy that steadfastly protects rights, ensures social justice and gives credence to the voice of its people, discriminating against none and protecting everyone.
With more than 140 crore people, which is more than the combined population of most developed nations, ensuring economic and financial inclusivity is a Herculean task, but India has achieved it with sheer perseverance and persistence that none should be left out of the spectrum of development.
Today’s India is an India that is quite different from the past, economically and financially, and is progressing at a pace that should make it a developed nation. From the common man to people in the higher echelons, inclusive India makes everyone equal and turns business from small to top, achievable, and accessible, thanks to our committed leadership, which acted with the nation first policy and achieved it without succumbing to pressure, and strongly and persistently stands by it.
With the success of Operation Sindoor, the world has seen an India that is not submissive, whatever the threat might be. Now, Indians are on the move. This is a momentous moment of courage, valour, and vitality in its true sense. Now India is endowed with a strong leadership, a strong economy, and an impregnable unity among different sections of people and above all, although ideologically different, but binding political parties that endorse India first and a unity first vow. Now it is a new normal, where nothing against the nation is tolerated.
