On India’s 79th Independence Day, PM Narendra Modi unveiled the Sudarshan Chakra Mission, a next-gen defence initiative to be launched by 2035. Inspired by Lord Krishna’s mythical weapon, the system will form a multi-layered shield protecting strategic, civilian, and religious sites. It will integrate advanced surveillance, interception, and counter-attack capabilities across air, land, and sea domains. Modi emphasized domestic development, aligning with Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The mission aims to rival Israel’s Iron Dome and counter threats like Pakistan’s recent attacks, including the Pahalgam incident. Operation Sindoor was praised for its decisive retaliation. Modi warned against nuclear blackmail, asserting India’s readiness to respond with force and autonomy.
