The Dawn of a New Indian Military Era
22/07/2025
The commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament this year carries an air not just of parliamentary procedure, but of national celebration - a "Vijay Utsav" as Prime Minister Narendra Modi fittingly termed it. The tone was set by India's recent strategic, scientific, and military triumphs that have resonated well beyond its borders, commanding admiration and reinforcing its status as a rising global power. Among these achievements, Operation Sindoor stands out as a bold testament to India's evolving military prowess and assertiveness in counter-terror operations. In just 22 minutes, Indian forces achieved a 100% success rate in eliminating terrorist bases - a feat made possible not only by precise intelligence and flawless execution but also by the integration of indigenous military technology. The swift and surgical nature of the operation, aimed directly at the masterminds of terror, has not only neutralized immediate threats but also sent a decisive message to enemies of peace.
What distinguishes Operation Sindoor is its emblematic use of "Made in India" weaponry and strategic planning - a proud signal that India is no longer dependent on foreign powers for its defence needs. As the Prime Minister noted, the world is watching closely and with admiration. International interest in Indian defence manufacturing is rising, and India's military-industrial complex is now emerging as a credible supplier of cutting-edge defence solutions. In parallel with military excellence, India has also notched historic milestones in space exploration. The nation swelled with pride as Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla piloted the Axiom 4 mission to the International Space Station, making India's presence felt in the final frontier. With the Tricolour hoisted at the ISS for the first time, this mission is more than a technological achievement - it is a symbolic affirmation of India's growing competence in science and innovation.
This twin success - in defence and space - reflects the synergy of vision, execution, and national will. It reflects a new India that is assertive yet responsible, confident yet collaborative, and determined to shape the future on its own terms. Importantly, the Monsoon Session has also underscored another form of victory - that of democracy and constitutionalism over violence and discord. In a world increasingly polarized, India's democratic institutions remain a steady pillar. By ensuring that achievements like Operation Sindoor are discussed in Parliament - not just celebrated in the streets - India reaffirms its faith in institutional strength and democratic pride. As the Prime Minister rightly said, this is a time not just for applause, but for collective resolve. The convergence of military success, scientific advancement, and democratic cohesion should be harnessed as momentum - to push further into indigenous innovation, strengthen national unity, and build a global image rooted in strength and responsibility. The world is indeed watching - and what it sees today is an India that is secure, bold, innovative, and unafraid to lead.
