At Ran Samwad 2025 in Mhow, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said India must be ready for sudden and unpredictable wars that could last from weeks to several years. He underlined that India seeks no one’s land but will go to any length to defend its territory. Singh drew lessons from Operation Sindoor, which he described as a striking example of technology-driven warfare, and highlighted the growing importance of cyber security, indigenous defence production, and a whole-of-nation approach to security.
