New book gives an insight into Operation Sindoor
Discussion with one of the authors, Major General Bipin Bakshi (retd) at Asian Confluence sees critical questions about India's defence strategy
Shillong, Feb 20: Operation Sindoor following the Pahalgam terrorist attack has changed India’s position as a military power in many ways. Though there have been criticisms, there is also a narrative that needs to be presented to the civilians.
Red Lines Redrawn: Operation Sindoor and India’s New Normal, a new book released last month, gives an insight into the military strategy behind the operation.
On Friday, Asian Confluence hosted a discussion on the book. The session featured the author, Major General (Dr.) Bipin Bakshi, AVSM, VSM (Retd.), Indian Army and Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS). The discussion brought together members of the strategic community, academia, civil society, media, and serving and retired defence personnel for an in-depth engagement on India’s evolving security doctrine and the operational lessons emerging from Operation Sindoor.
In his presentation, Bakshi examined the changing contours of India’s military and strategic posture, arguing that the operation reflects a recalibration of established red lines and signals a shift in India’s response paradigm to contemporary security challenges.
“The book seeks to analyse how India’s operational and strategic responses are redefining conventional thresholds in the region. It examines not only the military dimension, but also the broader political and doctrinal implications of this shift,” he said.
On why this book stands out among other narratives, Bakshi said the book has been chronicled accurately with extensive research, and it gives a “cogent picture’ from both military and diplomatic points of view.
