Description

Operation Sindoor is not just a military episode—it is a warning.

In an era where wars are fought in days rather than years, where drones replace divisions, and where narratives move faster than verification, the world has entered a dangerous phase of "managed escalation." This book examines Operation Sindoor as a defining case study of modern conflict under the nuclear shadow.

Through detailed analysis, ethical examination, and global context, Manas Swain explores how limited war is no longer limited in consequence. He dissects decision rooms, air-and-drone warfare, information battles, ceasefires without resolution, and the silent normalization of risk that follows.

Drawing on international assessments, strategic theory, and historical patterns, Operation Sindoor reveals how certainty has replaced caution, how ambiguity has replaced accountability, and how the illusion of control may be the most dangerous belief of all.

This is not a book about who won.
It is a book about how close the world came—and how often it may come again.
