Army Chief Gen. Upendra Dwivedi says India’s Operation Sindoor reflects “smart power” in its most complete expression. Speaking at a seminar at the Manekshaw Centre in New Delhi, he describes the operation as a coordinated national act that combined military precision with information control, diplomatic signalling and economic resolve. Dwivedi says the operation took place during the intervening night of May 6–7, 2025, within a precisely defined 22-minute window. He states that Indian forces strike deep, dismantle terror infrastructure and “puncture” a long-standing strategic assumption, before stopping “deliberately and purposefully.” He also refers to what he calls a “partial answer” to the “smart power” question offered to the world about 12 months earlier. Both reports frame Dwivedi’s remarks as an assessment of how the operation achieved its objectives through restraint and coordination across multiple dimensions, rather than through sustained or open-ended military activity.
