Pitru Paksha 2025 begins on 7 September and runs until 21 September, ending with Sarvapitri Amavasya, also called Mahalaya Amavasya. This 16-day period is one of the most sacred in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to remembering and honouring ancestors.

But General Upendra Dwivedi, the Chief of the Indian Army, has reminded us that reality is rarely that simple. At the launch of Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan, he made a striking point: the conflict with Pakistan didn’t truly end with the ceasefire declared on 10 May 2025. Instead, it was more like the interval in a theatre performance. The first act had ended, but the story was far from finished.…
