This is the serendipity of three sevens, a coincidence that occurs very rarely and a good omen that indicates achievement of the final objective. The world has seven continents and seven oceans, and as Prime Minister Modi said, to drive out the menace of terrorism to the ends of the world and to erase it forever by burying it seven feet deep. Coincidentally, he sent seven delegations to drive home the point, to tour the world, explain India’s stand and garner their support in such a manner that Pakistan gets isolated and terrorism is rooted out.
Operation Sindoor’s power is infinite as long as humaneness, humanity, and the ‘Vasudaika Kutumbakam’ concept are well nurtured. Gone are the days when the rule of the fittest ruined human lives and the very purpose of existence. We have surpassed such dark phases in human history, and today, nothing matters except life, human values, and the beauty of coexistence and living in a peaceful world where values stand tall and nations speak against terrorism of every kind strongly and unequivocally.
With this objective in mind, our seven delegations have achieved their purpose by getting the support of all nations against terrorism. The subject is well established, and the objective has been achieved with impeccable precision, and Pakistan has been exposed worldwide for its support for terrorism and its policy of propagating it. Hitherto, whenever Pakistan raised the Kashmir issue in the United Nations, India blasted it for its negative propaganda in the world body itself. And now, after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which claimed 26 innocent tourists, India not only responded militarily but has also been targeting Pakistan diplomatically with a sense of purpose which has never been seen before.
India has shown Pakistan the power of Operation Sindoor and its diplomatic finesse by sending all-party delegations to almost all nations to explain the reasons behind Operation Sindoor, the need to shun terrorism in all its forms and expose the true nature of Pakistan.
The Indian all-party delegations have been meeting the heads of governments to drive home the point. In the new normal, India’s reach and approach have been remarkable, with every delegation it has appointed achieving the purpose with clarity and determination. This is the first time India has cornered Pakistan and exposed its terrorist machinations.
We now live in a world that needs pragmatism, not terrorism, humaneness, not evil-mindedness, mutual caring and not mutual annihilation. India’s carefully articulated approach against terrorism is for the good of the world, as all nations want to live in peace and let other nations do so. Going by the immense support and endorsement of India’s approach, it appears that the world has endorsed Operation Sindoor. The success of the seven Indian delegations is a testament to the fact that the world has united against terrorism and, in a vociferous voice, has warned nations that nurture it.
Ironically, Pakistan is also sending delegations to explain its case. No one knows what kind of support it wants, and the reaction of the countries must be seen in the context of the support Indian delegations are getting worldwide.
