EP-326 | Operation Sindoor: Forgotten Visuals, New Facts & Full Timeline | Lt Col Rajan & Col Bakshi

Video Description

Between May 6 and May 10, India set a new benchmark in Asia’s war strategy. In a bold and unprecedented move, New Delhi struck Pakistan-backed terror infrastructure and targeted air bases and radar sites deep inside the country. This podcast offers a detailed analysis of the events leading up to Operation Sindoor, from the terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of innocent civilians, to the geopolitical dynamics involving the United States, the use of Chinese weaponry, and how Indian forces neutralised Turkish drones. This Podcast also presents new facts about how India redefined the rules of engagement in the region. In this edition of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, we are joined by Colonel Hunny Bakshi, former Commanding Officer of the Technical Support Division (TSD), a military intelligence unit established after the 26/11 attacks; and Lt. Col. Pavithran Rajan, a former intelligence officer, academic, and tech entrepreneur. Together, they unpack how India demonstrated its resolve to strike deep into Pakistan, what lessons were learned, and where further improvement is still needed. #anipodcastwithsmitaprakash #operationsindoor #pakistan #pahalgamattack Timestamps 00:00 – Coming Up 02:03 – Introduction 04:53 – Analysis of Operation Sindoor 07:14 – February 5: Munir’s First Warning 09:55 – How the Pahalgam Attack May Have Happened (Shown on Map) 21:00 – "SSG Commandos Are Terrorists" 23:51 – April 16: Asim Munir’s Second Warning 31:35 – India vs Pakistan-China-Turkey 35:58 – Child Recounts the Pahalgam Horror 43:21 – How Pakistan Fakes the Narrative 46:47 – "War Is a Political Decision" 50:55 – Objectives of Operation Sindoor 53:15 – Proof of Operation Sindoor 56:18 – Donald Trump’s First Reaction to Op Sindoor 01:05:11 – What “Free Hand to the Army” Really Meant 01:06:57 – "Pak Doing Dirty Work For US'' 01:07:59 – Iran-Israel War’s Link to Operation Sindoor 01:13:47 – Indian Media Coverage of Operation Sindoor 01:25:05 – India’s Messaging During Operation Sindoor 01:27:30 – India’s Retaliation After the Pahalgam Attack 01:33:48 – How the Indian Air Force Destroyed Pakistan’s Air Bases 01:36:50 – Pakistan’s Bid to Target the Golden Temple 01:39:42 – Jaishankar–Rubio Talks 01:43:50 – JD Vance: “None of Our Business” Statement 01:47:00 – Pakistani Missiles Shot Down in Sirsa 01:54:18 – The U.S. Role in the India–Pakistan Ceasefire 02:01:11 – Why Was There No Action from the Pakistan Navy? 02:06:45 – Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons 02:09:45 – U.S. Funding for Pakistan’s Nuclear Facilities 02:12:41 – Was Nur Khan Airbase Under U.S. Control? 02:15:30 – Debate Over War Duration and Objectives 02:16:51 – Key Takeaways from the India–Pakistan War 02:23:05 – Indian Media Behaviour During Operation Sindoor 02:24:44 – Press Briefings and Perception Management in Wartime 02:29:44 – How India Jammed Pakistani Drones Using ECM 02:34:24 – Disinformation as a War Tactic 02:42:15 – Real-Time Information Flow During War 02:52:00 – Was the Pahalgam Attack a Result of Intel Failure? 02:58:30 – Conclusion Join ANI's YouTube membership to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtFQDgA8J8_iiwc5-KoAQlg/join Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: https://bit.ly/2UV4ygi -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia's leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
