The recent unilateral US military operation in Venezuela has reignited discussions regarding India’s strategic posture towards Pakistan, especially in light of India’s successful Operation Sindoor in May 2025. Observers question whether India should adopt a bolder approach against Pakistan, given its longstanding support for terrorism and hostility towards India. The US’s justification for its actions, citing narco-terrorism, parallels India’s claims against Pakistan, raising critical questions about international norms and unilateral interventions. As tensions rise in the region, particularly with Islamic radicalism in Bangladesh and ongoing threats from Pakistan, India’s responses may significantly shape its national security strategy and geopolitical standing. This scenario underscores the urgent need for a reevaluation of global conduct amid increasing unilateralism.
