Majority percentage on Sindoor as ‘strong’ response to Pahalgam: Mood of the Nation Poll

An overwhelming 55% of the respondents thought that Operation Sindoor, the response of Pahalgam’s terror attack, was strong, while 21% were of the opinion that it was weak, according to the India Today Cvoter Mood of the Nation Survey. According to the survey, 15% of the respondents found that the reaction was not sufficient and that more could have been done to punish Pakistan.

The poll of India Today Cvoter Mood of the Nation (Motn) was carried out between July 1 and August 14, 2025, in which 54,788 people were investigated. An additional 1.52.038 interviews from the regular tracker data from CVOTER were also analyzed. Thus the opinion of a total of 2.06,826 respondents was taken into account for this MotN report.

Operation Sindoor, which was launched on 7 May, saw India Platform nine terror camps in Pakistan in its most daring and largest strike on terror infrastructure deep in enemy territory. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh later revealed that 100 terrorists were thrown away in the strikes.

After the Indian strikes, Pakistan launched a wave of drone and rocket attacks, but was thwarted by the air defense systems of India. On 10 May, India took revenge by focusing on 11 important military air bases in Pakistan – some of which have to resume activities to this day.

It is these strikes that ultimately forced Pakistan’s hand to call India and negotiate about a ceasefiring. What India stupid, however, was the unilateral statement of US President Donald Trump that he mediated the truce between the countries by the trade tires.

But what does India think about what led to the cessation -furen?

According to the MotN survey, 31% of the respondents believe that PM Modi only assumed the truce, while 25% thought that Pakistan’s request ended the three-day hostilities.

Interestingly, 29% of the respondents were of the opinion that pressure from Trump forced both countries to stop fighting.

However, a majority of the respondents (55%) believe that the Center has provided truthful and transparent information about Operation Sindoor, while 33% felt different.
