Stern Warning
5/11/2025 10:35:00 PM
In a resolute and historic declaration, the Government of India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has made it unequivocally clear that any future act of terror perpetrated on Indian soil will be considered an “act of war” against the nation.
This bold shift in strategic posture marks a significant evolution in India’s counter-terrorism doctrine—one that signals a zero-tolerance policy towards cross-border terrorism and a readiness to respond with decisive force.
For decades, India has endured the trauma of terrorism—most of it traced back to Pakistan-based terror infrastructure.
From the 2001 Parliament attack to the carnage of 26/11 in Mumbai, and the more recent Pulwama and Pahalgam tragedies, India’s patience has been tested repeatedly.
Time and again, the global community has offered condolences but failed to hold state sponsors of terror accountable. With this new doctrine, India is now drawing a firm red line.
The message is loud and clear: the days of restraint in the face of bloodshed are over. If any non-state actors—or proxies nurtured across the border—strike again, the Indian response will be swift, punitive, and of a scale commensurate with acts of war. This policy recalibration is both timely and necessary. It acknowledges the reality that terror is not just a law-and-order issue but a national security threat that undermines the sovereignty, unity, and peace of the country.
Prime Minister Modi’s government has made it clear that the distinction between terrorists and their state sponsors will no longer provide a shield of plausible deniability.
The statement assumes even greater significance in the wake of “Operation Sindoor,” a calibrated and multi-pronged military retaliation launched by Indian forces following the heinous Pahalgam terror attack.
The strikes targeted terror camps deep inside enemy territory and conveyed India’s military resolve. The operation was not just a tactical victory but a strategic statement: India will no longer absorb blows without consequence.
Importantly, the government’s position has been complemented by the coordination among all three branches of the armed forces—Army, Air Force, and Navy—showing preparedness on land, in air, and at sea.
The swift response, high-level operational synergy, and limited collateral damage also underscore India’s desire for calibrated action rather than reckless escalation.
While some may raise concerns about the risks of further military confrontation, it is important to note that deterrence works best when it is credible. By declaring that terrorism will now be treated as war, India is compelling adversaries to weigh the costs of aggression more seriously. Moreover, this shift in doctrine may force global powers to re-examine their own soft-pedaling of state-sponsored terrorism in South Asia.
