Operation Sindoor signals a strategic shift in India's policy on terrorism. The scale of retribution to the terror attack in Pahalgam surprised most strategists. The operation has set a benchmark for future responses. It is a sign of the changing character of warfare as it evolves to tackle dynamic threats in the region. While a detailed analysis of the operation would be undertaken by the agencies concerned, it makes one contemplate whether India needs theatre commands to fight and win a war.
