Why Was Operation Sindoor Named? Shashi Tharoor's Brilliant Response Impresses America

After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, India carried out Operation Sindoor and destroyed terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and PoK and more than 100 terrorists were eliminated.

After India's action, Indian delegations are traveling to different countries to expose Pakistan and tell about Operation Sindoor. Meanwhile, the delegation led by Shashi Tharoor reached America, where he was questioned about naming it 'Operation Sindoor'.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said in America that Operation Sindoor is a brilliantly chosen name. During a dialogue session at the National Press Club in America, Tharoor said that the color of vermillion is not very different from the color of blood.

While presenting his views, Shashi Tharoor used the Hindi phrase 'khoon ka badla khoon' and said that it was 'sindoor ka badla khoon'. It means blood in response to the treatment meted out to sindoor by terrorists.

During the dialogue session, Tharoor was asked about the name of Operation Sindoor. In response to this, he said that Operation Sindoor is a wonderfully chosen name. He explained to the Americans, "If some Americans do not know about it, it is a symbol, which is applied on the forehead of married women in Hindu tradition." He said, "Sindoor is applied during the wedding ceremony and then every day after that married women apply it. The terrorists had destroyed the sindoor of married women in Pahalgam by killing their husbands, so it is like 'Operation Sindoor ka badla khoon'."
