Opening with the Pahalgam massacre of 22 April 2025, and detailing its causatives this book deals with ‘Operation Sindoor’ with the required and unbiased details and then moves backwards (down to the pre-Partition time) dissecting the ‘Indo-Pak Paradox’ in relevant detail, in order to facilitate a judicious understanding of the issues involved by the readers. The contents of this book are divided into 11 chapters for facilitating easy reading. Afterwards, a ‘balance sheet of Operation Sindoor’ has been added. It offers a brief account of the negatives and positives accruing to the warring factions. For the benefit of readers, the abbreviations employed in the text are listed in the beginning of the book. The prime objective of the effort involved in penning this work is to create a correct understanding of the emotional, economic, and security issues which have contributed to the genesis of the Indo-Pak paradox and its longevity.
