Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has compared Operation Sindoor to a high-stakes game of chess, where every enemy move was uncertain. Speaking at IIT-Madras, he revealed the operation—India’s decisive May strike on terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK—ended early but could have turned into a prolonged conflict. Stressing “victory is in mind,” he warned that the next confrontation could be bigger, with India’s adversary possibly backed by another nation.
