Notes:

Explanation – Operation Parakram was a large-scale military mobilization by India in response to the December 2001 terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament. The primary objective was to pressure Pakistan to take decisive action against terrorist groups operating from its soil, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad, which were believed to be responsible for the attack and other cross-border terrorist activities in India. The operation aimed to demonstrate India’s resolve and military preparedness to counter Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorism, but stopped short of an outright declaration of war.
