Moved by patriotic fervour, a couple in Bihar has named their newborn daughter ‘Sinduri’ after Operation Sindoor. The operation, launched in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, was undertaken little after midnight on Wednesday, with Indian military striking terror bases across nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Santosh Mandal and Rakhi Kumari’s daughter was born on the same day the strike was carried out, making the moment doubly significant for their family. Relatives Kundan Kumar and Simple Devi said the family considers the coincidence a matter of great pride. “The victory over Pakistan and the birth of our daughter on the same day, both are a matter of pride for our family,” they said.
The couple are residents of Balthi Maheshpur village in Katihar district of Bihar. The naming of newborn Sinduri serves as a testament to the deep sense of patriotism and emotional attachment many Indians feel towards Operation Sindoor.
Pappu Kumar, manager of the private nursing home Katihar Seva Sadan where the baby was born, remarked that this is a clear example of how patriotism touches every Indian.
The Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor on Wednesday morning, carrying out missile strikes against nine terrorist targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. These targets included the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Taiba base in Muridke. In response to the Pahalgam attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, the prime minister gave the armed forces the authority to select their targets, methods, and timing for anti-terrorism operations.
Operation Sindoor derives its name from the red vermilion Hindu women apply to signify their marital status. During the Pahalgam terror attack, several women witnessed their husbands, including an Indian Navy officer, being killed right in front of them.
