India’s Geopolitical Strategy and International Relations in the Post-Operation Sindoor Era

Author(s) Aditya Raj, Shatakshi .
Country India
Abstract Operation Sindoor marked a pivotal moment in India’s strategic and geopolitical trajectory, emerging as a direct response to the 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack attributed to Pakistan-backed militants. This research paper explores the evolution of India’s geopolitical strategy and international relations in the aftermath of this operation, emphasizing the doctrinal shift from strategic restraint to calibrated assertiveness. India’s approach, combining kinetic military precision with non-kinetic tools such as economic sanctions, cultural isolation, information warfare, and diplomatic outreach, underscores a multi-dimensional strategy aimed at deterring terrorism and reinforcing regional leadership.
The paper critically examines India’s recalibrated strategic doctrine, which includes narrative dominance, psychological ascendancy, and full-spectrum deterrence ranging from military to cyber and diplomatic spheres. The study also evaluates India’s transformed bilateral and multilateral engagements, including relationships with the United States, Russia, China, the European Union, and Middle Eastern nations, within the context of post-operation geopolitical dynamics.
India's stance on unilateral action, rejection of third-party mediation, and assertive diplomatic narratives have redefined its role as a responsible yet resolute regional power. The operation also served as a stress test for India’s crisis management capabilities and its ability to garner global support for counterterrorism, thereby setting a precedent for future conflict and cooperation.
Keywords Operation Sindoor, India-Pakistan relations, strategic doctrine, counterterrorism, regional leadership, narrative warfare, Indo-Pacific security
