The Indian sports fraternity too rose in unison to hail the armed forces for the air strikes. Operation Sindoor, launched in the intervening night of May 6 and 7, struck nine high-value terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) in what was termed a “calculated, restrained yet firm” response to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 innocent lives just two weeks ago. The covert strike, executed around 1.44 a.m., caught the Pakistani forces completely off guard. In a carefully choreographed offensive, the Indian Air Force neutralized terror camps linked to globally banned outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba without crossing into Pakistan’s airspace — a strategic signal …

Nishant Dev wants to set the record straight. The 23-year-old boxer wants to bust the assumption that he turned professional because he lost in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics. Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali… he reels off the names of some of the greatest boxers. Nishant fell in love with pro boxing when he got YouTube access to bouts of these legends while growing up in Karnal city. In fact, if Nishant, who belongs to a family of farmers, had his way, he would have skipped the amateur circuit and turned professional. But he had no option but to take the well-beaten path. “My uncle, who lived in Germany, told me the stories of professional boxing, and that’s when the dream began… I was 15 years old. It is a misconception that I turned pro because of that loss to Marco (Verde) in the Olympics. Yes, the loss was disheartening, and I was in a very bad place after that loss, but the decision to turn professional …
