A security expert speaking at the NDTV Defence Summit says India’s “Operation Sindoor” introduces a new approach to national security. National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) member Pankaj Saran says the operation “did something which no previous government in the history of India had done” and that it reflects “a new doctrine in place.”
Saran also argues that assessing security policy should include how partners communicate with adversaries, suggesting that alliances and diplomatic signalling form part of the broader strategic picture. The report focuses on the expert’s interpretation of what Operation Sindoor represents, rather than providing operational details. Across the available coverage, the emphasis remains on doctrinal and policy implications.
