The Fire of Sindoor: India's 2025 Surgical Strikes Explored in New Book

DELHI, India - June 6, 2025 - PRLog -- Write India Publishers is set to release The Fire of Sindoor: India's Strike Against Terror, a nonfiction account detailing India's recent cross-border military operation, Operation Sindoor. Authored by Roshan Bhondekar and Niloy Chattaraj, the book explores the events surrounding the May 7, 2025, strikes on terrorist camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The operation was launched in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 people and was attributed by Indian authorities to several militant groups.

The book presents a comprehensive examination of the operation's origins, execution, and aftermath. Drawing from anonymous sources, including military personnel and residents of PoJK, the authors document the strategic and humanitarian dimensions of the strikes. The operation, targeting nine locations including Bahawalpur and Muridke, employed advanced weaponry and was described by Indian officials as a response to longstanding cross-border militancy.

Through a mix of narrative storytelling and technical insight, the authors aim to offer a balanced perspective. Chattaraj, an expert in electronic warfare communication, and Bhondekar, a filmmaker and writer, bring distinct viewpoints to the work. The book also contextualizes the operation within the broader framework of India-Pakistan relations, exploring regional tensions, global reactions, and media coverage. Pakistan's official denials and accusations of Indian aggression are also addressed.

The Fire of Sindoor seeks to contribute to ongoing debates on national security, counterterrorism, and the ethics of military intervention. The authors have pledged to donate all royalties to NGOs supporting orphaned children in India. Positioned as an informed and impartial narrative, the book aims to resonate with readers interested in defense policy, geopolitics, and the human impact of armed conflict.
