Sindoor: A Patriotic Tribute in Names

Following India's Operation Sindoor, a military action against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack, 17 newborn girls in Kushinagar, India, have been named Sindoor. Parents aim to instill patriotism, inspired by the operation which avenged the attack that killed 26 people in April.

In a unique expression of patriotism, 17 newborn girls in Kushinagar, India have been named Sindoor, following India's military retaliation against Pakistan, known as Operation Sindoor. The operation was launched after a devastating terror attack in Pahalgam last month that claimed 26 lives.

Parents across the region are naming their daughters Sindoor to symbolize respect and pride for India's armed forces. The campaign aimed at inspiring patriotism among future generations, honoring the soldiers who retaliated against the anti-national act.

This trend has been endorsed by academics, with psychology professor Pradeep Khatri noting that it intends to nurture a sense of national pride within these children. By honoring a military operation, these names are set to become an emblem of courage and remembrance.
