The Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) on May 6 welcomed India’s Operation Sindoor, a military initiative aimed at dismantling Islamist terror networks in Pakistan.
The operation follows the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where 26 Hindu tourists were killed. The name “Operation Sindoor” holds a deep symbolic meaning. Sindoor, or vermillion, is traditionally worn by married Hindu women and signifies prosperity and marital devotion.

“This fortune was forcibly snatched away from the wives of those who were slaughtered by the terrorists. Today’s actions are one step in honoring those women and families who lost their loved ones to terror and hate,” CoHNA noted.
“As a group that has been drawing attention to the rise of anti-Hindu hate in various parts of the world, CoHNA is glad to see such action against those responsible,” the organization said in a statement.
CoHNA emphasized that the attackers had ties to long-standing Islamist terror outfits linked to Pakistan. The organization cited statements made by Pakistan's army chief days before the Pahalgam attack, which described the nation's founding on an anti-Hindu ideology. It also pointed to Pakistan’s history of sheltering notorious terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, as evidence of state-linked extremism.
Calling for global solidarity, CoHNA urged the international community to support India’s efforts in dismantling terror networks and confronting ideologies that promote religious violence.
“The world must stand together in the fight against terrorism, and support India as it takes steps to eliminate groups who spread religious hatred and violence,” the organization said.
